By early to mid [[2581]], preparations for an invasion of the Alliance had reached the point where [[Star League Defense Force]] troops were actively being marshalled on the border, and two full [[divisions]] of Star League troops from [[II Corps (Star League)|II Corps]], the [[Fourth Royal Infantry Division]] and the [[Sixth Royal Division]], were deployed forward to Niles before launching the invasion of [[Sevon]], while the [[Thirteenth Brigade]] of the [[5th Division (Star League)|Fifth Division]] deployed onto Niles before attacking [[Medron]]. Aided by the local knowledge gained by the garrison forces from VI Corps, the II Corps forces rapidly disarmed the local militia and the Star League assumed actual control of Niles before beginning their attacks deeper into the Outworlds Alliance.<ref name="H:RWp110"/>

During the early months of the [[Fourth Succession War]] [[Coordinator of Worlds|Coordinator]] [[Takashi Kurita]] was focused on his conflict with the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] mercenary [[brigade]], but following pleas for help from [[Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation|Chancellor]] [[Maximilian Liao]] the DCMS planned and launched additional offensives against perceived weak spots on the Federated Suns border. The various AFFS forces and planetary militias on the planets invaded fought fiercely, slowing the DCMS campaign, and in common with the other theaters of the War, a lull settled over the Combine-Suns border in early [[3029]].<ref name="4SWv1p80">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', pp. 80–81: "Other Actions"</ref>

In May 3029, the DCMS went on the offensive again; in addition to stepping up the tempo of conflict on a number of contested worlds, the DCMS launched fresh attacks. One of the new targets for invasion was Niles, which was hit by the [[Fourth An Ting Legion]] in May; the militia fought hard, with one militia regiment managing to hold back an entire battalion from the Fourth for a week, but the Legion claimed the planet for the Combine.<ref name="4SWv2p26">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 26: "Federated Suns Front"</ref>
