The '''Combine-Dominion War''' (later known as the '''First Combine-Dominion War''') was a conflict fought by the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]] against the [[Draconis Combine]] and [[Clan Nova Cat]] between October [[3062]] and December [[3063]]. Occurring in the midst of the [[FedCom Civil War]], the conflict also revealed the continued manipulations of the ''[[Kokuryu-kai]]'', or "Black Dragon Society", in the Combine.

==Background==
During [[Operation Revival]] the [[Clans]] conquered most of the [[Alshain Military District]], including the [[Alshain|titular capital]], and destroyed most of the [[Alshain Regulars|Alshain District Regular]] regiments. The four surviving regiments, now renamed the [[Alshain Avengers]], swore to liberate their district at all costs. During the [[Operation BULLDOG|reclamation]] of those Combine worlds lost to [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] in [[3058]], the Avengers fought well but to their dismay the offensive halted at the border with [[Clan Ghost Bear]]. The Avenger regiments obeyed orders to hold their positions but resentment set in among them.<ref name=ER3062p24-25>''Era Report: 3062'', p. 24-25, "The Combine-Dominion War"</ref>

Exploiting this discontent, the [[Kokuryu-kai|Black Dragon Society]] exerted its influence over the Avengers, and [[Internal Security Force|ISF]] Director [[Ninyu Kerai Indrahar]] later concluded that Alshain District [[Tai-shu|Warlord]] [[Toshimichi Uchida]] and several other officers had become members of the Society. With Black Dragon support, Uchida was able to plan and initiate [[Operation BATU]], an unauthorized surprise assault by all four Avenger regiments upon Alshain, now capital of the newly established Ghost Bear Dominion.<ref>''Path of Glory'', Chapter 29</ref>

==The War==
===The Opening Assault on Alshain===
The Avengers invasion of Alshain was intended to cripple the Ghost Bear leadership and spark an all-out liberation war, with the rest of the DCMS being forced to follow the Avengers into the Ghost Bear Dominion. Already risky, the plan suffered a serious setback even before the Avengers crossed the border: [[Clan Nova Cat]] forces based on [[Yamarovka]] had anticipated the attack thanks to a vision experienced by [[Zane Nova Cat|one of their MechWarriors]], and the [[11th Alshain Avengers|Eleventh Avengers]] sharing the planet with the Cats were intercepted and crushed.<ref name=ER3062p24-25/> <ref>''Path of Glory'', Chapter 24</ref> <ref name=FMU13>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 13</ref> <ref name=FMU60>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 60</ref> 

The three remaining regiments entered the Alshain system in October 3062, escorted by the [[WarShip]] ''[[Dragon's Last Tear]]''. The Avengers believed that their determination would enable them to carry the day, and that the ''Dragon's Last Tear'' would easily batter aside any aerospace defense the Ghost Bears could put up. In fact, the Avengers' intelligence was fatally flawed. Alshain, having been made capital of the Ghost Bear Dominion, was protected in orbit by the battleship ''Ursa Major''; the ''Dragon's Last Tear'', a mere destroyer, was swiftly transformed into flaming wreckage by the ''Ursa Major's'' firepower, and a regiment of Avengers along with it. The other two regiments reached Alshain's surface to be met by the elite of the [[Clan Ghost Bear Touman|Ghost Bear ''touman'']], who furiously tore into the invaders and annihilated them.<ref name=ER3062p24-25/> 

===Ghost Bear Retaliation===
Enraged at this unprovoked attack, Ghost Bear Clusters stationed near the Combine border mounted a series of ferocious but uncoordinated strikes at whichever DCMS unit happened to be nearest to them, while more Bear units in the Dominion interior made their way to the front. Initially the invasion was incredibly successful, in part due to the fact that [[Coordinator]] [[Theodore Kurita]] was in the process of relocating his [[Ghost Regiments]] to the [[Federated Commonwealth]] border to protect his nation from any spill-over from the looming [[FedCom Civil War]]. He was forced to bring the Ghost Regiments back to the Ghost Bear border, only to have forces from the [[Draconis March]], led by [[Duke]] [[James Sandoval]], launch an invasion of their own, forcing the Combine to fight two opponents simultaneously.<ref name=FMU13/><ref name=FMU60/> 

Over a dozen worlds fell to the first wave of Bear attacks and such was the raw power of this offensive that it could have driven right through the former Smoke Jaguar Occupation Zone before the Combine had any hope of halting it. However, the Bear assault was reactive and fueled by rage rather than any genuine planning and the fighting swiftly turned into a series of border clashes. The Clan warriors sought vengeance for the unprovoked assault; the Combine troops sought to redeem their collective honor after their first embarrassing defeats. Thus neither side displayed any real tactical or strategic acumen, instead simply slugging it out wherever and whenever the opportunity arose.<ref name=ER3062p24-25/>  

The Ghost Bears also targeted their [[Trial of Abjuration|Abjured]] brethren in [[Clan Nova Cat]], many of whose Clusters were based near the Dominion border. The Bears sought to prevent the Cats from aiding their DCMS allies, but the latter's Abjurement also resulted in the usual [[zellbrigen|honor rules]] of Clan combat being cast aside. The resulting battles were thus far more brutal than the norm for Clan warriors, though the Nova Cats' wholehearted defense of the Combine earned them gratitude from the Combine's military and civilian population.<ref name=FMUp96>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 96, "The Dragon and the Nova Cat"</ref>

====[[Caripare]]====
Hit by the Bears during the first month of the war, either or both [[Omega Provisional Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Omega]] and [[Chi Provisional Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Chi]] Provisional Galaxies suffered heavy losses.<ref name=FMUp96/>

When the Cats' [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Alpha Galaxy]], led by Khan [[Santin West]], later mounted a counterattack against the Bears, they struck first at the Dominion's [[Rho Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)|Rho Galaxy]] on Caripare. Notably, their marksmanship inflicted considerable damage to the [[18th Battle (Rasalhague Dominion)|Eighteenth Battle Cluster]] and its supporting units, resulting in their recall to face the [[Clan Hell's Horses|Hell's Horses]] assault. Elements from the Nova Cats' [[Xi Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Xi Galaxy]] also fought well on Caripare, contributing to that Galaxy's elevation to front-line status after the war's end.<ref name=FMU96Alpha>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 96, "Alpha Galaxy: (Victory Over Delusion)"</ref> <ref name=FMU97Xi>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 97, "Xi Galaxy: (Rossei’s Faithful Followers)"</ref>

====[[Courchevel]]====
The green [[7th Pesht Regulars|Seventh Pesht Regulars]] lost a full battalion to the furious assault of the [[3rd Bear Regulars (Rasalhague Dominion)|Third Bear Regulars]], but managed an organized fighting withdrawal to nearby [[Byesville]]. The [[Ryuken-yon|''Ryuken-yon'']] later contested the planet but was unable to prevent its eventual annexation to the Ghost Bear Dominion.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 109, "7th Pesht (The Future Guards)"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 115, "Ryuken-yon (Midnight Sun)"</ref>

====[[Dumaring]]====
Elements of the Ghost Bears' [[Beta Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)|Beta Galaxy]] hit the [[5th Galedon Regulars|Fifth Galedon Regulars]] hard, nearly wiping out its command staff. The arrival of the [[2nd Benjamin Regulars|Second Benjamin Regulars]] bought the Galedon troops time to regroup, and together the two regiments managed to secure several key cities. The fighting on Dumaring ground on until the Courchevel Trial.<ref name=FMU60/> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 106, "2nd Benjamin (Defenders of the Combine)</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 106, "2nd Benjamin (Defenders of the Combine)"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 108, "5th Galedon (Pride of Galedon)"</ref> 

====[[Garstedt]]====
The [[3rd Bear Guards (Rasalhague Dominion)|Third Bear Guards]] soundly beat the [[22nd Dieron Regulars|Twenty-second Dieron Regulars]], forcing the regiment to retreat off-world after just two weeks of combat. Half of the elite [[2nd Sword of Light|Second Sword of Light]] then arrived and took on the Dominion's [[283rd Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|283rd Battle Cluster]] while their counterparts were mounting a behind-the-lines strike on [[Constance]]. Despite being battered the Second's warriors on Garstedt managed to hold their ground until the [[10th Ghost|Tenth Ghost]] joined the fighting.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 107, "22nd Dieron (Vengeance of Dieron)"</ref> <ref name=FMU1112SOL>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 111, "2nd Sword of Light (The Steel Dragon)"</ref>  

====[[Idlewind]]====
The [[1st Bear Guards (Rasalhague Dominion)|First Bear Guards]] mauled the [[9th Pesht Regulars|Ninth Pesht Regulars]], killing the regimental commander early in the battle and shattering the unit's cohesion so that many Pesht troops disastrously attempted to duel the Bears one-on-one. Although the [[7th Sword of Light|Seventh Sword of Light]] arrived from [[Turtle Bay]], they were too late to save the Ninth Pesht, of whom barely a tenth survived. Even so, the Seventh Sword of Light was able to keep the Bear Guards pinned on Idlewind until the war's end.<ref name=FMU60/> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 109</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 111, "7th Sword of Light (The Teak Dragon)"</ref>  

====[[Itabaiana]]====
The Dominion's Delta Galaxy, with support from Rho and Tau Galaxies, mauled the Nova Cats defenders from either or both [[Omega Provisional Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Omega]] and [[Chi Provisional Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Chi]] Provisional Galaxies in the war's first month. Khan West's subsequent counterattack with the Cats' [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Alpha]] and [[Xi Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Xi Galaxies]] saw the defending units from [[Omega Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)|Omega Galaxy]] soundly defeated.<ref name=FMU61Delta>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Delta Galaxy (The Blitzkrieg)"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Rho Galaxy (Bear Essentials)"</ref> <ref name=FMU61Tau>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Tau Galaxy"</ref> <ref name=FMUp96/>

====[[Kanowit]]====
The [[42nd Galedon Regulars|Forty-second Galedon Regulars]] were attacked by the [[68th Striker (Clan Ghost Bear)|Sixty-eighth Striker Cluster]]. With the [[15th Benjamin Regulars|Fifteenth Benjamin Regulars]] reinforcing the Forty-second, the two Combine regiments managed to contest the planet for several months but suffered heavy losses.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 108, "42nd Galedon (The Climbing Daystar)"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 106, "15th Benjamin (The Tribute of the Unproductives)"</ref>

====[[Kiamba]]====
The [[2nd Bear Regulars (Rasalhague Dominion)|Second Bear Regulars]] ravaged the [[4th Pesht Regulars|Fourth Pesht Regulars]] when they [[Battle of Kiamba (3062)|attacked]] Kiamba, but Combine reinforcements from the [[1st Genyosha|First Genyosha]] hammered the Bears in turn.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 109, "4th Pesht (The Evening Warriors)"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 110, "1st Genyosha (Legacy of Yorinaga)"</ref> <ref name=FMU61Tau/>

====[[Kiesen]]====
Bear warriors from [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Delta Galaxy]] struck Kiesen just prior to the garrison unit's scheduled departure. That regiment - the [[12th Dieron Regulars|Twelfth Dieron Regulars]] - was forced into a fighting withdrawal from the world that left them too mauled to participate further in the war. The Bear warriors also skirmished with elements from the [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[31st Division (ComStar)|31st Division]].<ref name=FMU61Delta/> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 107, "12th Dieron (Arm of Unswervable Power)"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 86, "6th Army V-Kappa (Grim Defiance)"</ref>

====[[Labrea]]====
Labrea was the scene of fighting between the Ghost Bears' Delta Galaxy and the Nova Cats. The latter suffered heavy losses to either or both [[Omega Provisional Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Omega]] and [[Chi Provisional Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Chi]] Provisional Galaxies, but [[Sigma Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Sigma Galaxy]] then arrived and assaulted the Bears with the unit's full might, driving the Bears from the world.<ref name=FMU61Delta/> <ref name=FMUp96/> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 97, "Sigma Galaxy: (Spiritual Vision)"</ref>

====[[Luzerne]]====
Luzerne was one of the deepest worlds targets.  The [[1st Bear Regulars (Rasalhague Dominion)|First Bear Regulars]] inflicted severe losses on the defending battalion of the [[17th Recon Regiment]] but were ultimately repulsed<ref name=ER3062p24-25/><ref>''Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrades'', p. 12: "ZPH-1 Tarantula"</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrades'', p. 18: "HM-1 Hitman"</ref>


====[[Meilen]]====
The [[17th Galedon Regulars|Seventeenth Galedon Regulars]] collapsed against the [[139th Striker (Clan Ghost Bear)|139th Striker Cluster's]], while the single battalion sent from the [[6th Arkab Legion|Sixth Arkab Legion]] to assist them arrived too late and instead waged a hit-and-run operation for the rest of the war. The Bears also mounted some probing attacks upon elements from the Com Guard [[31st Division (ComStar)|31st Division]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 108, "Galedon Regulars"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 113, "6th Arkab Legion (Desert Nomads)"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 86, "6th Army V-Kappa (Grim Defiance)"</ref>

====[[Mualang]]====
The [[12th Bear Chevaliers (Clan Ghost Bear)|Twelfth Bear Chevaliers]], with the [[1st Claw (Clan Ghost Bear)|First Claw]] of [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Zeta Galaxy]] in support, mounted a preemptive strike upon the [[Clan Nova Cat|Nova Cat]] forces based on Mualang to prevent them reinforcing their DCMS comrades. The Com Guard [[12th Division (ComStar)|Twelfth Division]] was also drawn into the fighting on behalf of the Combine.<ref name=FMU60/> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Zeta Galaxy (Claws of the Ghost)"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 86, "6th Army V-Kappa (Grim Defiance)"</ref> 

====[[Najha]]====
Beta Galaxy elements including the [[8th Bear Cuirassiers (Rasalhague Dominion)|Eighth Bear Cuirassiers]] annihilated the recently established [[44th Dieron Regulars|Forty-fourth Dieron Regulars]]. Although the [[4th Arkab Legion|Fourth Arkab Legion]] arrived too late to save the Dieron regiment, they succeeded keeping the Bears from conquering Najha outright until a few months prior to Courchevel Trial.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 107, "Dieron Regulars"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 113, "4th Arkab Legion (Allah's Blessings)"</ref> 

====[[Nykvarn]]====
The [[6th Bear Regulars (Rasalhague Dominion)|Sixth Bear Regulars]] used their assault 'Mechs to demolish the newly-arrived [[5th Sun Zhang Cadre|Fifth Sun Zhang Cadre]], but subsequently became mired in a guerrilla war with the surviving defenders. Nonetheless the Fifth's remaining cadets were eventually forced to withdraw to [[Brocchi's Cluster]], but the ''[[Ryuken-san]]'' took their place and kept the Bears occupied until the Courchevel Trial.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Omicron Galaxy"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 112, "5th Sun Zhang Cadre (Perseverance)"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 115, "Ryuken-san (Strength of the Dragon)"</ref>

====[[Richmond]]====
The [[5th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fifth Bear Regulars]] fought with the [[2nd An Ting Legion|Second An Ting Legion]], but were forced to withdraw back to their base world of Constance after the Second Sword of Light raided it.<ref name=FMU61Xi>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Xi Galaxy"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 113, "2nd An Ting Legion (The Light of Enlightenment)"</ref>
  
====[[Schuyler]]====
The [[2nd Legion of Vega|Second Legion of Vega]] found itself facing warriors from [[Omega Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)|Omega Galaxy]] alone for nearly four months until the [[6th Ghost|Sixth Ghost]] joined them. The latter unit suffered heavy casualties during the subsequent fighting. It was on Schuyler that the [[Pesht Military District|Pesht Military District's]] [[Tai-shu|Warlord]], Teyasu Ashora, fell in combat against saKhan [[Aletha Kabrinski]] on November 23rd.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 10, "Timeline"</ref> <ref name=FMU61Omega>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Omega Galaxy"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 114, "6th Ghost"</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 115, "2nd Legion of Vega (The Dragon’s Raiders)"</ref>  

====[[Yamarovka]]====
Already damaged during the fighting with the [[11th Alshain Avengers|Eleventh Alshain Avengers]], the two Nova Cat Clusters from Zeta Galaxy were hard hit by the Bears' [[10th Bear Cuirassiers (Clan Ghost Bear)|Tenth Cuirassiers]]. Supported by the [[7th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Seventh Bear Regulars]], the Cuirassiers tore into the Nova Cats whom they felt had cheated them of a chance of avenge their Clan upon the Alshain Avengers. To the Cuirassiers' frustration, the two Cat Clusters retreated off-world almost immediately and simply vanished from known space, their fate a mystery to all.<ref name=FMUp96/> <ref name=FMU61Omega/> <ref name=FMU61Sigma>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Sigma Galaxy"</ref> 

===Draconis Combine and Clan Nova Cat Counterstrikes===
While the bulk of the fighting took place upon Combine worlds, both the DCMS and [[Clan Nova Cat Touman|Clan Nova Cat ''touman'']] mounted a number of attacks upon Dominion worlds, both for revenge and in an attempt to dissuade the Ghost Bears from continuing their invasion.

====[[Ardoz]]====
The elite [[2nd Genyosha|Second Genyosha]] struck Ardoz as part of the Combine's effort to stall the Ghost Bear offensive. The raid achieved its objective, as news that one of the DCMS' best regiments was poised to run amok throughout their supply lines prompted the reshuffling of some Bear units from the front.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 110, "2nd Genyosha (Lord Yorinaga’s Vanguard)"</ref>

====[[Constance]]====
Half of the [[2nd Sword of Light|Second Sword of Light]] attacked Constance in an effort to divert Dominion troops from the front. The Sworders suffered high losses there, and the world was eventually reclaimed by the Bears' [[Xi Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Xi Galaxy]].<ref name=FMU1112SOL/> <ref name=FMU61Xi/>

====[[Jezersko]]====
The [[8th Sword of Light|Eighth Sword of Light]] hit the [[Pi Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Pi Galaxy]] garrison on Jezersko and inflicted enough damage to help stall a second wave of Dominion attacks upon the Combine.<ref name=FMU61Pi>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Pi Galaxy"</ref> <ref name=FMU1118SoL>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 111, "8th Sword of Light (The Jade Dragon)"</ref>

====[[Last Frontier]]====
The [[21st Phalanx (Rasalhague Dominion)|Twenty-first Phalanx]] and [[12th Provisional Garrison (Rasalhague Dominion)|Twelfth PGC]] were both ravaged by the Eighth Sword of Light, an assault which helped prevent a second wave of Dominion attacks against the Combine.<ref name=FMU1118SoL/> <ref name=FMU61Sigma/>

====[[Marawi]]====
The [[3rd Ghost|Third Ghost]] regiment assaulted Marawi as part of the DCMS counterattack, but was destroyed by the defending [[17th Provisional Garrison (Rasalhague Dominion)|Seventeenth]] and [[30th Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Thirtieth]] Provisional Garrison Clusters. However, the Seventeenth was ravaged in its turn by the Nova Cats' [[5th Nova Cat Regulars (Clan Nova Cat)|Fifth Regular]] and [[6th Garrison (Clan Nova Cat)|Sixth Garrison]] Clusters, who managed to take and hold the world until the end of the war.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 114</ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 97, "Omicron Provisional Galaxy: (Purified in Soul)"</ref>

====[[Maule]]====
Maule was the scene of a deep strike by [[Clan Nova Cat]] which saw the Bears' [[304th Assault (Clan Ghost Bear)|304th Assault Cluster]] suffer heavy losses.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Beta Galaxy (Night Howlers)"</ref> 

====[[Porthos]]====
One of the few staging worlds from which the Bears had yet to launch an assault, Porthos was targeted by the [[13th Sun Zhang Cadre|Thirteenth Sun Zhang Cadre]] for this reason. The Cadre struck the [[5th Phalanx (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fifth Phalanx Cluster]] and mauled the unit before falling back into the Combine.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 112, "13th Sun Zhang Cadre (Tenacity)"</ref>

====[[Thule]]====
The [[14th Sun Zhang Cadre|Fourteenth Sun Zhang Cadre]] attacked Thule expecting to fight only the green [[54th Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fifty-fourth]] [[Provisional Garrison Cluster]]. Instead the unexpected appearance of the corvette ''[[Black Ghost]]'' - undergoing maintenance in orbit - resulted in the destruction of one of the Cadre's [[DropShip|DropShips]] before the Combine's own WarShips and aerospace fighters forced the ''Black Ghost'' to withdraw. With a third of their force already destroyed, the remaining Cadre warriors contented themselves with razing a few supply depots and then withdrew.<ref name=FMU61Pi/> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 112, "14th Sun Zhang Cadre (Obedience)"</ref>  

===Courchevel and the War's End===
By the end of [[3063]] both combatants were facing enemies along their respective nations' opposite borders: the Draconis March's invasion of the Combine showed no sign of abating, while [[Clan Hell's Horses]], Clan Ghost Bear's old enemy, had established their own Occupation Zone at the behest of [[Clan Wolf]] and were probing the Dominion for signs of weakness.

With both sides now looking for a way to honorably extricate themselves from the conflict, the Ghost Bear Khans agreed to a proposal from ''Tai-sho'' [[Kiyomori Minamoto]]: all worlds conquered would be returned to their prewar owners save for Courchevel, where a [[Trial of Possession]] would be fought for that world. Elements from each Cluster or regiment which had seen action in the war were sent to Courchevel, a gesture intended to allow those who had fought some sense of closure regardless of the Trial's outcome. In the end the Bear's edge in technology and warrior skill saw them emerge victorious, making Courchevel the only world to change hands at the war's end.<ref name=FMU14>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 14</ref> <ref name=ER3062p24-25/>
