Following a massive offensive by the Automatons into Federation space on April 9th, Menkent became a contested front line world. Menkent and [[Lesath]] would be where SEAF Engineers would build orbital defences as part of the [[Menkent Line]], key to defending [[Super Earth]] itself and the core worlds of the Federation from direct assault.

Although the campaign to take the planet would be brutal with over 45 million casualties, it would nonetheless be successfully liberated from the Automatons mechanical hands... for about 24 hours as during the liberation of Lesath, the Automatons would counterattack the planet, necessitating a second deployment to the planet. Many [[Helldivers]] cursed toasters everywhere. Menkent was secured for the second time later that day in mere hours, letting the SEAF engineers resume their work.

With the Automaton advance arrested, rudimentary orbital defenses were established on Menkent and [[Lesath]], which were then augmented by hardworking SEAF and civilian laborers. Meanwhile, a SEAF Forward Command Base was established on [[Vernen Wells]], providing fresh recruits and supplies to the front.
