History

Succession Wars

During and unknown period of at least ten years, the Arms of Thor did serve in the Taurian Concordat.[1]

In 3034 the Circinus Federation attempted to invade the Illyrian Palatinate but unexpectly found the Arms of Thor, recently hired on a multiyear contract, used their two assault mech Battalions to rout Federation troops.[2]


Clan Invasion

3063 would see the end of the Arms of Thor. On the 19th of January 3063 Julius O'Reilly invaded the Illyria Palatine and completed the conquest of that minor power by the 30th of June of the same year.[3] Hegemony troops consisting in two full legions (II Legio and IV Legio) and also including III Legio's First and Third Cohorts initiated the conquest of the Palatinate. Things did not start well and the Arms of Thor spirited defense of the Palatinate did stop cold Marian advances. But after confirming the treason of Cavanaugh's Cavalry to the Palatinate and their change of sides, the Hegemony assaulted in force Trasjkis and Illyria head-on using infantry and other auxilia units to root the Arms of Thor from their bases before they could bring most of their MattleMech strength to bear. Nevertheless the Arms of Thor tried to break through Julius lines and seize his headquarters. Cavanaugh's Cavalry entered the Illyrian capital under false banner and forced after two hours the official surrender of the Palatinate. This was the end of the Palatinate, which had been preceeded less than two hours ago by the last push from the Arms of Thor aimed at decapitating the Marian assault force.
