History
During Wave Two of the FedCom Civil War, Ian Dresari led a small force consisting of former AFFC officers and Chaos March mercenaries to his homeworld of Kentares IV to liberate the planet from its Loyalist oppressors, consisting of the Clovis DMM and two combined-arms combat commands from the 5th Donegal Guards, led by Lord Marcus Roland. In a mere three months, Dresari's troops defeated the Loyalists, many of whom decided to defect and join Dresari.[1] The commanding officers of the Clovis DMM were arrested by Ian Dresari in April of 3063 and the leaderless unit was folded into the newly formed Kentares DMM, personally led by the recently appointed Duke Ian.[citation needed]
On January 23, 3065, the 3rd Benjamin Regulars of the DCMS invaded Kentares IV as part of the DCMS Reprisal, which was the Draconis Combine's counterattack against Duke James Sandoval's unauthorized invasion of the Combine. The Regulars immediately engaged the DMM, which was quickly overwhelmed and took heavy losses, but did inflict similar losses upon the Regulars. On January 27, the 10th Lyran Guards, commanded by Marshal James McFarland, landed on Kentares and joined up with the DMM. The combined 10th/DMM task force swiftly defeated the 3rd and took the surviving Regulars as prisoners-of-war.[2]
