Draconis Combine - Luthien

Luthien

Luthien, the traditional seat of House Kurita, remained relatively untouched during the succession wars, but was invaded by Clan Smoke Jaguar and Clan Nova Cat in 3052, during the Clan Invasion. The Combine's warriors prevailed, thanks to the assistance of the mercenary units the Kell Hounds and Wolf's Dragoons, which were sent by House Davion. But Luthien was left heavily scarred by the battle and remained so for many years despite the population's reconstructive efforts. In 3059, the planet became a staging ground for Operation Bulldog, an effort of the newly formed Star League Defense Force under the leadership of Victor Steiner-Davion. The battle drove Clan Smoke Jaguar from Combine territory. In 3067 (during the Jihad), the Word Of Blake savagely attacked Luthien with nuclear and chemical weapons.
