−	The Fourth Amaris Legionnaires were stationed on the [[Apollo Province]] world of [[Gwynedd]] during the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] civil war. In [[2575]], a local [[Nobility|baron]] named [[Daffyd Ap Brendan]] used the chaos of the civil war's beginnings to have the senior officers of the Fourth Legionnaires assassinated and replaced with officers loyal to himself.<ref name=H:RWp135-136>''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 135–136</ref> This included installing [[Colonel]] [[Samuel Baraou]] as the new commanding officer of the regiment.<ref name="H:RWp131">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 131</ref>	+	The '''Fourth Amaris Legionnaires''' were garrisoned on [[Gwynedd]] in the [[Apollo Province]] of the [[Rim Worlds Republic]]<ref name="H:RWp135+"/> when a civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic in [[2575]], with the factions polarised around those loyal to [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]] and those loyal to the [[Rift Republican Army]] and the [[Rim Provisional Government]].<ref name="H:RWp130">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 130, "The Spark"</ref> At some point in 2575 a local Baron named [[Daffyd Ap Brendan]] arranged to have the senior officers of the Fourth assassinated, and replaced with cronies loyal to himself.<ref name="H:RWp135+">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 135-136, "Illium to Barcelona (March 2589 - August 2591)</ref>
−	[[First Consul of the Rim Worlds Republic|First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]] had appealed to the [[Star League]] for support when the [[Rift Republican Army]] subverted half of the military forces on [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]] and formed a new government, the [[Rim Provisional Government]]. The Star League eventually decided to intervene on his behalf and assembled [[Task Force MAILED FIST]], a multinational force headed by the [[Star League Defense Force]], but atrocities such as the one performed by the [[Draconis Auxiliary Corps]] when they captured [[Nightwish]] in mid-[[2584]] resulted in the Rim Worlders putting aside their differences to focus on the common enemy.<ref name=H:RWp134>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134</ref>	+	The [[Star League]] eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in [[2579]] assembled [[Task Force MAILED FIST]] to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the [[Star League Defense Force]], Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing [[Operation MAILED FIST]], the name given to the military intervention. The first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near [[Apollo (planet)|Apollo]],<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132, "Case Apollo"</ref> until a destructive raid on [[Alarion]] by the [[4th Amaris Fusiliers]] in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing [[Rim Worlds Army]] concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.<ref name="H:RWp133">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 133, "Island Hopping (2582 - November 2590)"</ref>
−	In April [[2590]], SLDF [[General]] [[Nathan Isaacson]] assigned a [[division]] from [[VI Corps (Star League)|VI Corps]], the [[Sixteenth Mechanized Infantry Division]], to secure Gwynedd,<ref name="H:RWp153">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 153</ref> only to discover Daffyd Ap Brendan in control of both the planet and the Fourth Amaris Legionnaires and professing his loyalty to the [[House Amaris|Amaris family]]. However, despite Baron Ap Brendan's friendly welcome and unwillingness to fight the SLDF, the local population was actively rebellious; the arrival of the Sixteenth quickly caused fractures to appear amongst both civilians and the Fourth Legionnaires, followed shortly by open conflict. The net result was an eleven-month peacekeeping operation to try and separate the various warring camps and restore order.<ref name=H:RWp135-136/>	+	In late [[2584]] the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities performed by the [[Draconis Auxiliary Corps]] when they captured [[Nightwish]] in mid-2584.<ref name="H:RWp134">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134, "Arlina to Viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref>
