On [[Spica]] they, together with the Wild Geese, faced furious defenders and retreated after sustaining heavy losses.<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 14</ref> The battle stopped the flow of relief materials to the Steel Forest devastated after an industrial accident there two weeks prior to the attack. The battles disrupted the relief columns for all three days, making the denizens of the forest suffer. The [[Spica Protectorate Militia]] responded to the mercenaries' landings immediately with the ''Light of Devotion II-epsilon'' arriving within two hours of the mercenaries' [[DropShip]]s landing and immediately brought the mercenaries under fire. They held their ground for six hours until the rest of the ''Blessed Solidity-III'' gamma arrived and forced the mercenaries on the defensive. The Protectorate Militia forced the Wild Geese's DropShips back into the air, making it impossible for the Geese to resupply with them. The Thirteenth sought the shelter of the edges of the Steel Forest, pursued by the balance of Blessed Solidity. They managed to break contact several times, but the Planetary Militia relocated them quickly every time. By the time the rest of the Planetary Militia units had contained the mercenaries, the Stalking Horse made a fighting retreat.<ref name=Spica>''AMC Stragglers Shattered on Spica''</ref> The 13th Stalking Horse were a part of a [[Principality of Regulus|Regulan]] task force led by the [[4th Regulan Hussars|Fourth Regulan Hussars]] and sent to attack [[Gibson]] in August [[3073]], where they were destroyed at the hands of the [[49th Shadow Division|Forty-ninth]] and [[52nd Shadow Division|Fifty-second Shadow Divisions]]. A number of other units were also destroyed completely, including the [[Wild Geese]], but some survivors managed to escape by [[DropShip]] after the Wild Geese sacrificed themselves to buy time. With the Regulan ground offensive firmly defeated, Word of Blake [[WarShip]]s appeared in-system and shattered the Regulan naval forces, with only a few survivors escaping.<ref name="JHS3076p31+">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', pp. 31, 34: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp52">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 52: "The Jihad in Review"</ref><ref name="JHS3076p41">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', pp. 41–42: "Chaos Overwhelming: Dante's Daydream"</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 13th Stalking Horse''' |- | [[Colonel]]||[[Jeffrey Morgan]]||[[3067]]<ref name=AMCRSO>''AMC "Rudderless", Say Officials''</ref> |- |} ==Tactics== The unit can count on a number of established maneuvers like ambushes, traps, cavalry maneuvers and so on. ==Support== The single ''[[Invader]]''-class [[JumpShip]] transport the single ''[[Triumph]]''-class and the two ''[[Union]]''-class [[DropShip]]s.
