In 3027, rumors began spreading around the royal court that Emil von Richter, younger brother of Duke Elias von Richter, was amassing a large force intending to claim what he believed was rightfully his. Elias hired a mercenary outfit to attack the forces assembling on Emil's land in order to gather information about them, and their BattleMechs' gun camera footage and sensor readings identified them as belonging to the Free Worlds League. Having been exposed, the League troops quickly mobilized and moved on Elias' estate, only to be repelled attempting to ford the Verona River by the combined resistance of the House Richter Honor Guard and entire Penobscot militia. Emil retreated to his villa in the Prospect Mountains while the FWL forces prepared their defenses along the only road that travels through the area.
