Given
Sarna's wealth and strategic location, it is hardly surprising
that Sarna was one of the first worlds targeted by Liao forces
during the recent Capellan invasion of the former Sarna March.
The Kaifeng SMM, the First Battalion from the Sarna Martial
Academy, and the Grim Determination mercenary unit defended the
planet against an invading force composed of Stapleton's
Grenadiers and the veteran mercenary unit Tooth of Ymir. Despite
finding his force outnumbered, the Liao commander, Colonel
William Asselin, ordered his troops forward. Sarna's defenders
quickly established air superiority - thanks to the Academy's
aerospace contingent - and soon the defending ground units had
forced the Grenadiers back to their DropShips. The Grenadiers,
who had suffered substantial losses, then fled Sarna, abandoning
several 'Mechs in the process. The Tooth of Ymir troops quickly
surrendered when they realized the Grenadiers' withdrawal had
left them significantly outnumbered.
Next,
Planetary Governor Lorete Montog-Chandler turned her sights on
the mineral-rich world of Sakhalin, another planet with long
historical ties to Sarna. After commandeering the abandoned
'Mechs of the Grenadiers, the new Sarnese government contacted
Grim Determination and the newly hired Tooth of Ymir to liberate
Sakhalin. The invaders quickly defeated the single battalion of
Kingston's Legionnaires that defended the world.
Governor
Montog-Chandler formed the Sarna Supremacy with important aid
from several key officers in the Sarna Martial Academy and the
Kaifeng SMM. These officers and the governor are all scions of
the aristocratic families that once ruled Sarna, and they saw the
Liao invasion as their chance for independence. These leaders
began setting the groundwork for their plan shortly after the
start of the Clan invasion by modifying the Grim Determination
contract, so that their official employer became the planetary
government rather than the Federated Commonwealth.
