In late June [[3070]], the planetary government and military forces on Kalidasa switched their allegiance to the [[Word of Blake]], bringing the world into the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]]; Kalidasa was one of six worlds to declare for the Blakists in the space of a week, pushing the Protectorate into Free Worlds League space.<ref name="J:FRp48">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 48: "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

[[Gannon's Cannons]] were contracted by [[Mr. Askai]] to strike Kalidasa, defeat the [[3rd Division (Word of Blake)|Word's Third Division]] and, if possible, kill or capture [[Precentor]] [[Timothy Mayo]]. The unit accepted, and on July [[3070]] they struck the planet. The unit began raiding Blakist supply dumps, ambushing their patrols before locating Mayo and most of his force several days later. A pincer movement cornered the Blakist unit. When the mercenaries downed Mayo's [[Grand Crusader]], the Blakists began fighting much more ferociously. The Blakists were wiped out at the cost of most of the mercenary unit. After capturing Precentor Mayo, the Cannons salvaged as much as they could before leaving.<ref name=TCp90>''Total Chaos'', p. 90: "Binge, Purge, Flush"</ref>

An important industrial world, Kalidasa would be occupied by the Blakists until mid-July 3077, when allied coalition forces spearheaded by forces from the [[Com Guards]] launched a combined assault on Kalidasa as a part of [[Operation SCOUR]].<ref name="J:FRp57">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 57: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> Kalidasa was liberated by elements from Group III of the Free Worlds League task force, led by the Com Guard [[4th Army (ComStar)|Fourth Army]] on the 17th of July [[3077]], an event confirmed by the [[INN]] journalist [[Nigel Holmgren]] who presented a live broadcast from Kalidasa the next day. Holmgren had the opportunity to interview Commander [[Edith Byers]], the "Kalidasa Ghost", leader of the resistance movement on Kalidasa. The initial Fourth Army landings saw them on the receiving end of friendly fire from the Kalidasa resistance movement - a group named the Bard's Champions - as a result of what Byers referred to as confusion and judgment clouded by fear. Holmgren's report intimated that the resistance had already driven the Blakists from Kalidasa when the Group III forces arrived, and that the Group III forces were initially believed to be a Word of Blake task force returning to recapture Kalidasa.<ref name="JHS:Tp47">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 47: "Mistaken Identity"</ref>
