History[]
In 1905 PD, a large Royal Manticoran Navy support base, Hancock Station, was completed in the system, providing a key point in the Manticoran Alliance's defense line against the People's Republic of Haven. The presence of the base made the system a target of Operation Perseus, the Havenite prelude to the First Havenite-Manticoran War.
Later that year, a People's Navy task force led by Admiral Yuri Rollins attacked the system in the First Battle of Hancock. (HH3)
In 1913 PD, a second Havenite attack on the system occurred in the Second Battle of Hancock. Task Force 12.3, a Havenite task force led by Rear Admiral Jane Kellet, attacked the system, but was repelled with the assistance of new generation LACs and HMS Minotaur, the first Manticoran LAC carrier.
