== Planetary History ==

=== Fourth Succession War ===
Shirotori was attacked as part of the final wave of attacks launched during [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]] in Late [[3028]], with the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] deploying the [[Third Donegal Guards]] to capture the planet.<ref name="NAIS4SWp44">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', pp. 44–45: "Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG"</ref> The battle had bogged down, and Shirotori was still contested when the lull between operations began in early [[3029]].<ref name="FSWMAv2p61">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 61: "Trellshire and Tamar Theaters"</ref>

Defending Shirotori were the [[First Proserpina Hussars]], a four-[[battalion]] [[regiment]] commanded by ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Mashaka Hirohito]]. The Third managed to secure the bulk of the countryside, but the Hussars retained control of the three major cities on Shirotori, and used a combination of the hit-and-run attacks for which they were famed and superior reconnaissance to dog the Third, constantly disrupting attempts to muster attacks against the dispersed Hussar battalions before breaking contact before the Third could concentrate forces against them. If the Hussars had mustered their superior numbers together, they might well have driven the Third off Shirotori; as it was, when the lull between operations approached in early [[3029]], the commanding officer of the Third, [[Colonel]] [[Walter Lestrade]], requested reinforcements from the LCAF.<ref name="FSWMAv2p64">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 64: "Liezen"</ref>

Lestrade was recalled to the Commonwealth in February, and in March he was replaced as commanding officer of the Third by Colonel [[James Lancelot Hipper]]. The news that the LCAF wasn't sending reinforcements to Shirotori was unwelcome, particularly coupled with the change in commander partway through an operation, but Hipper proved to be a tactical savant. Exploiting information obtained from a captured [[DCMS]] courier, Hipper devised and executed a headhunter operation that saw Hirohito and half of his senior command staff killed in their bunker within the city of Meijer. Two days later the Third had captured Meijer, and five days after the death of Hirohito the Third has also captured Brusk, the leaving Massona as the only major city still under the control of the Hussars. A week later the Hussars retreated from Shirotori, leaving the planet in Lyran hands.<ref name="FSWMAv2p64"/>
