The biggest battle during the first wave occurred on [[Augustine]], where the RAF-aligned [[Stirling's Fusiliers]] and *[[3rd Free Worlds Legionnaires|Third Free Worlds Legionnaires]] confronted the [[1st Free Worlds Guards|First Free Worlds Guards]]. The Guards successfully contested Republic control of the world until they were ordered to withdraw with the collapse of the [[Marik Commonwealth|Marik Commonwealth’s]] battle lines. The Guard’s commander ordered a fighting withdrawal, which heavily bloodied two Republic units before leaving the planet.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 81: Army of Marik-Stewart Commonwealth / Granda Palatini – Actions of the First Free Worlds Guard on Augustine.</ref>

With the fall of Stewart both the Marik Commonwealth and Stewart Commonality accepted a peace treaty with the Republic, signed on September 7th, which acknowledged the Republic's control of their former worlds. Another treaty with the [[Duchy of Oriente]], signed earlier in July, had already secured for the Republic Oriente's recognition of the new border in exchange for accepting Oriente's influence over ex-League worlds along the [[Capellan Confederation|Capellan]] border.<ref name=FM3085p16-17/>

With official recognition from the two largest successor states of the League, the Republic was able to greatly extend Prefectures [[Prefecture VI|VI]] and [[Prefecture VII|VII]] and secure its anti-spinward border. While the Silver Hawks Coalition refused to accept a peace settlement, its military was too ruined by the fighting to offer any real resistance. In response to the Coalition's stance, however, the Republic warned that any re-formation of the [[Silver Hawk Irregulars]] would be considered an act of war.<ref name=FM3085p16-17/><ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 108: "Silver Hawk Irregulars/Atrean Dragoons/Protectorate Guard"</ref>
