Briefing:

Despite being a joint world administered by the Hegemony and the Free Worlds League during the Star League era Dubhe has always remained loyal to Terra. Even when the Terran Alliance withdrew its support from Dubhe after the Outer Reaches War the populace was still steadfastly pro-Terran. The settlers on world, mainly farmers, tried to struggle on as the Alliance dissolved but their planet’s eccentric orbit made life difficult. Dubhe suffered greatly until a resurgent Hegemony absorbed the star system in 2327. The returning Terran nationals were greeted with universal acclaim on planet in spite of the great hardships Dubhe was forced to endure. Grateful for the aid that stabilized their agricultural yields the denizens became almost fanatical supporters of House Cameron. Lying so close to the Marik border the planet welcomed Free Worlds League interest during the creation of the Star League. Sensing a chance to help advance Lord Cameron’s diplomatic endeavors while potentially growing their own planetary industry the natives of Dubhe invited shared Marik administration. This arrangement paid off handsomely for all sides during the Golden Age of Mankind where Dubhe became a prime example of interstellar cooperation.

Unfortunately the Amaris Coup closed that chapter on Dubhe’s proud history and has caused a new crisis. Citizens of this planet were horrified by the lack of support given by Captain-General Kenyon Marik to the embattled SLDF. While the FWLM kept the Usurper at bay it also kicked out General Kerensky and his noble troops trying to free Terra. This hostile act began a campaign by the patriots of Dubhe to eject House Marik from their star system altogether. Per standard procedure the League Central Command has rotated different units of the Atrean Dragoons and Marik Militia to Dubhe causing some confusion to their exact identity. As the resistance grows stronger and the fighting intensifies the planetary garrison has been reinforced. SAFE is struggling to keep order on planet but the Resistance enjoys widespread popular support. To make matters worse there have been difficulties maintaining a naval blockade of Dubhe because of the star system’s unique layout. Dangerous pirate points located deep in system have been utilized several times by CIB to supply the Resistance on planet. As a result the Free Worlds League Navy has tried to tighten the blockade around the world itself while leaving the vast outer system without a substantial guard force.
