===Reformation===
Numerous resistance groups were formed with [[Maskirovka]] assistance following the loss of central authority brought about by [[Gray Monday]]. Hailing from former [[Sarna Commonality]] worlds taken by the [[Republic of the Sphere]], these rebels and defectors immediately joined the invading [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] as auxiliaries serving in irregular battalions. These battalions were soon re-equipped from Capellan supply depots and assembled to become the First Tikonov Guards.<ref name=FM:3145p38/>

Sometime in [[3144]]<ref name=ER:3145p35>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 35, "Celestial Reward"</ref>, the [[Third Sian Dragoons]] and the First Tikonov Guards fought the [[First Federated Suns Armored Cavalry]] for control of [[Almach]] as part of [[Operation CELESTIAL REWARD]]. The superior maneuverability and ambush tactics employed by the [[Federated Suns]] unit resulted in a victory against the Capellan force. The planet would fall in a second invasion attempt later that year.<ref name=FM:3145p72>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 72, "First Federated Suns Armored Cavalry"</ref>
