The Fourth Amaris Legionnaires were a regular line regiment of the Rim Worlds Army.

History[edit]

Reunification War[edit]

The Fourth Amaris Legionnaires were stationed on the Apollo Province world of Gwynedd during the Rim Worlds Republic civil war. In 2575, a local 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.[1] This included installing Colonel Samuel Baraou as the new commanding officer of the regiment.[2]

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 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.[3]

In April 2590, SLDF General Nathan Isaacson assigned a division from VI Corps, the Sixteenth Mechanized Infantry Division, to secure Gwynedd,[4] only to discover Daffyd Ap Brendan in control of both the planet and the Fourth Amaris Legionnaires and professing his loyalty to the 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.[1]

The Sixteenth remained in place on Gwynedd as a garrison until redeployed for the invasion of Steelton in 2595.[4]
