Line 16: Once the unit learned of [[Stefan Amaris]]'s treachery, the 3rd RCT, better known as the Eridani Light Horse, decided to act independently against the Usurper. Colonel [[Ezra Bradley]], the Light Horse's commander, realized that a direct assault against Amaris would not be possible, so he adopted a policy of raiding some of the weaker worlds near [[Terra]] to disrupt the Usurper's defenses. The plans worked until the 19th Striker Regiment assaulted [[Amity]]. Unbeknownst to the Light Horse, a traitor had relayed information to Amaris and the 19th Striker met three heavy regiments. The 19th Striker was completely destroyed in the ensuing battle. The Light Horse was able to avenge the loss of the 19th Striker with a series of vicious battles that eventually resulted in Light Horse joining the liberation of [[Terra]] itself.<ref name=MH_68AU>''Mercenary's Handbook'', p. 68, "Against the Usurper"</ref><ref name=FMCSp85>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 85</ref> Once the unit learned of [[Stefan Amaris]]'s treachery, the 3rd RCT, better known as the Eridani Light Horse, decided to act independently against the Usurper.
