New Canton Militia
Affiliation Capellan Confederation
Parent Command CCAF

The New Canton Militia defended the Capellan Confederation planet of New Canton.[1]

History[edit]

The New Canton Militia defended New Canton along the 3rd Battalion of the Trimaldi's Secutors and the 1st Battalion of the Fourth Confederation Reserve Cavalry. They did lay ambushes and accounted well against the First Regiment of the Screaming Eagles, but finally were beaten.

On the other hand, the 2nd Eagles, backed by the 5th Almach Tank & 18th & 21st Almach Foot Infantry Regiments of the Almach Militia pursued the Capellan forces into the Blue Dragon Mountains. The Secutors had fought well and inflicted heavy damage as they led the Eagles on a merry chase through the mountains.

The frustrated Colonel Hokala decided to have garrison infantry airlifted ahead of the Secutors' advance into the Blue Mountain Pass. They would act as a holding force while 2nd Eagles came up from the rear and finished the Capellan forces.

As the infantry forces delayed the Secutors' 'Mech forces, 2nd Eagle was attacked by Capellan tank forces. The 1st New Canton Armored Guard conducted a suicidal assault against the Eagles in a bid to delay them. The tank regiment’s sacrifice slowed the Eagles for six days which proved enough time to destroy two-thirds of the Davion infantry forces.[1]
