Following the [[Republic Formation Treaty]] and the subsequent incorporation of the vast majority of the former [[Skye Province]] into the [[Republic of the Sphere]], the Skye Jaegers surprised almost everyone when the bulk of the regiment elected to remain a part of the [[LAAF]], rather than joining the Republic. Even the LAAF quartermasters had expected the Jaegers to transfer into the Republic, to the extent that additional supplies for a "Going Away" party had already been issued to the regiment when it was announced they would remain in the Alliance. Undaunted, the Jaegers put the additional supplies to good use by holding a "Farewell to Blake" celebration.<ref name="J:FRp84">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 84: "The Defensive Situation"</ref>
