The Seventh Sword occupied the Labbie Plateau and the planetary capital city located there, Naragajan. Utrecht represented the tip of the deepest salient into Combine space and Yodoteobo was confident that the Fourteenth wouldn't be able to remain so deep in enemy territory.<ref name="FSWMAv2p70">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 70: "Utrecht"</ref> Hardy's forces captured the city of Bandor, located on the other side of the world to Naragajan, hoping to draw the Seventh Sword out of its positions on the Labbie Plateau, but Yodetobo was willing to concede control of the rest of the planet if it meant retaining Naragajan. Hardy had little choice but to launch what became known as the "March of Stones", a grueling cross-country trek that saw the Fourteenth subject to repeated attacks by Combine [[aerospace fighter]]s as it moved towards Naragajan. The March took five weeks, but exposed the flaw in Yodatobo's plans when Hardy was able to encircle Naragajan and block the roads leading to the capital. Deprived of supply lines, Yodetobo quickly determined that Naragajan's food supply would only last a week, and the aerospace forces that had been so useful during the March had been rendered ineffective as the Fourteenth hugged the rocky sides of the plateau. After a week-long siege, Yodetobo had no choice other than to launch an assault to try and break out through the Fourteenth's lines.<ref name="FSWMAv2p70"/> Yodetobo launched an all-out assault on the Fourteenth's forces located east of Naragajan, where the Fourteenth discovered that the rocky terrain made it just as easy to hold the low ground as the high ground; while the Fourteenth's troops held the Seventh Sword's lead companies to the east, the Fourteenth's elements located to the west of Naragajan charged up the plateau and into the city, plowing through the handful of Sword 'Mechs guarding the western approach and onto the airfield where the Combine fighters were refueling. The Fourteenth quickly destroyed the grounded fighters even as [[DropShip]]s landed on the eastern end of the Plateau to provide the Seventh Sword with an escape route. The Fourteenth had captured Utrecht and defeated the Seventh Sword, but had taken higher overall losses than their opponents during the campaign.<ref name="FSWMAv2p70"/> ====Clan Invasion==== During the [[Clan Invasion]], Utrecht surrendered without a fight to [[Clan Ghost Bear]] in March [[3052]]. [[Khan]] [[Bjorn Jorgensson]] personally signed the treaty of surrender when his [[Ourse Keshik (Clan Ghost Bear)|Ourse Keshik]] landed on the planet. Rich in natural resources necessary for the construction of [[ferro-fibrous armor]], the Ghost Bears have since set up a large mining operation to extract the valuable ore.<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 36</ref> ===Military Deployment=== <div class="desktop-3-col"> ====2786==== * [[25th Rasalhague Regulars|Twenty Fifth Rasalhague Regulars]]<ref name="FSWp136137">''First Succession War'', pp. 136–137: "First Succession War Deployment Table - DCMS"</ref> ==== 2821 ==== * [[Twelfth Arcturan Guards]]<ref name="FSWp139">''First Succession War'', p. 139: "First Succession War Deployment Table - LCAF"</ref> ====3030==== * [[7th Sword of Light]]<ref name="4SWv2p71">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 71: "Utrecht"</ref> * [[Utrecht Militia]]<ref name="4SWv2p71">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 71: "Utrecht"</ref> ====3054==== * [[1st Bear Guards (Clan Ghost Bear)|First Bear Guards]]<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 62: "Unit Note"</ref> ====3061==== * [[1st Rasalhague Bears (Clan Ghost Bear)|First Rasalhague Bears]]<ref name=FMWC163>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 163: "Warden Clans Deployment Table"</ref> * [[2nd Claw (Clan Ghost Bear)|Second Claw]]<ref name=FMWC163/> </div> === Planetary Locations === {{scrollbox| * Bandor: a city on Utrecht<ref name="FSWMAv2p70"/> * Naragajan: the planetary capital city, located on the Labbie Plateau<ref name="FSWMAv2p70"/> * Nieuwegein: city with ties to a terrorist group during the Star League era<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 192: "Independent Regiments"</ref> }} ===Sports Teams=== * [[Utrecht Kodiaks]]<ref name=DA:LNp19>''Dark Age: LinkNet Articles (3136)'', p. 19: "3135 Inner Sphere Football League Playoffs"</ref> == Map Gallery == <div class="system-map-gallery"></div> == Nearby Systems == <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" !
