History[edit]
On 19 January 3063, Julius O'Reilly invaded the Illyrian Palatinate and completed the conquest of that minor power by the 30th of June of the same year.[1] Hegemony troops consisting of two full legions (II Legio and IV Legio) and also including III Legio's First and Third Cohorts initiated the conquest of the Palatinate. The Left Arm of Thor was defending Trasjkis, the IV Legio drove them from the world, nearly eliminating half that battalion.[2] The unit regrouped to Illyria. When the Marian forces landed on Illyria, the invasion did not start well, and the Arms of Thor spirited defense of the Palatinate stopped cold the Marian advances. But after confirming the treason of Cavanaugh's Cavalry to the Palatinate and their change of sides, the Hegemony assaulted in force head-on using infantry and other auxilia units to rout the Arms of Thor from their bases before they could bring most of their BattleMech strength to bear. Nevertheless the Arms of Thor tried to break through Julius' lines and seize his headquarters. Cavanaugh's Cavalry entered the Illyrian capital under false colors and after two hours of fighting, forced the official surrender of the Palatinate. This was the end of the Palatinate, which had been preceded less than two hours ago by the last push from the Arms of Thor aimed at decapitating the Marian assault force which ended with the mercenary unit demise.[3]
Larsson was made a prisoner of the Marian forces and even spoke to Julius O'Reilly.[3]
