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.

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. [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]] [[Viola Steiner-Dinesen]] of Battle Group Finmark assigned the [[Thirty-first Armor Division]] - one of two [[divisions]] within the SLDF [[VIII Corps (Star League)|VIII Corps]] - to the conquest of Austerlitz and the neutralization of the Sixth Fusiliers in [[2587]].<ref name="H:RWp152">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 152: "Rim Worlds Republic Front (Jump-off - 2587)"</ref>

The heavily outnumbered Sixth Fusiliers fought to great effect on Austerlitz, turning the battle for control of the planet into a brutal slugging match; the Sixth Fusiliers used their heavy units to lock the Thirty-first in place and then used their light armor to launch fast, slashing attacks on the Thirty-first's infantry regiments. The Thirty-first drew on the available [[aerospace fighter]] support and fast [[BattleMech]] [[companies]] to try and counter the Sixth Fusiliers' tactics. While these efforts were partially successful, the Sixth Fusiliers had still inflicted enough damage —before being defeated at the end of the three-week battle—to force the Thirty-first into temporarily withdrawing from the Task Force MAILED FIST order of battle for a refitting period.<ref name="H:RWp134+">''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 134–135: "Arlina to Viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref>
