| − | The | + | The 1st landed a week ahead of the other invading forces and fought a highly mobile campaign to draw the defending [[3rd Canopian Light Horse]] away from their prepared defenses. The 3rd Fusiliers jumped in-system via a pirate point alongside the 58th Brigade and the 5th Marik Militia on the 10th of January [[2583]], a week after the arrival of the 1st Marik Militia as a combined SLDF and FWLM [[WarShip]] flotilla tore through the defending Magistracy WarShips. The 3rd Light Horse made a cross-country race towards the capital city of Tokhai, arriving inside the city defenses just as the 'Mechs of the 58th Brigade entered the atmosphere. Unable to catch the 3rd Light Horse out in the open, the task force was faced with a siege against a determined foe with access to significant resources. It took three weeks for the assembled forces to push their ay into the city, but even when the task force had seized the industrial, economic and political centers of the city, the 3rd Light Horse refused to surrender. Instead, the Canopians fought until every man was down, inflicting heavy casualties on both sides. The loss of Tetski and the facilities there was a heavy blow to the MAF war effort.<ref name="H:RWp148"/><ref name="H:RWp150"/><ref name="H:RWp101"/> |

The minor Magistracy world of [[Krimari]] was one of these targets, notable largely for the presence of one of the elite [[Chasseurs á Cheval]] regiments on world. [[Captain-General]] [[Marion Marik]] tasked the [[59th Brigade]] with capturing the world and attempting to destroy the defending [[4th Canopian Light Horse]], and assigned the 3rd and [[4th Fusiliers of Oriente|4th Fusiliers of Oriente Brigades]] to support the 59th. Although the SLDF forces were unable to pin the 4th Light Horse down, they did force them off-world and quickly occupied Krimari.<ref name="H:RWp149">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 149, "Magistracy of Canopus Front (2583 &ndash 2588)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp103">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 103, "Endgame (2583-2584)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp151">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 151, "Magistracy Of Canopus Front (2583-2588)"</ref> |

As was the case on many of the Canopian worlds conquered during the closing stages of the war, the defenders on New Abilene put up only a token resistance before surrendering, despite the two-regiment task force being one of the smallest deployments made during the war. The battle for New Abilene was the last major campaign for the 3rd Fusiliers during the Reunification War.<ref name="H:RWp149"/> |
