		+	[[Captain-General]] [[Kenyon Marik]] launched a mass invasion of the [[Capellan Commonality|Capellan]] and [[Sarna Commonality|Sarna Commonalities]] of the Capellan Confederation in February [[2787]], using ten assorted regiments of the [[Marik Militia]], almost four times as many conventional and aerospace groups, and the bulk of the [[Free Worlds League Navy]] [[2nd Fleet (FWLN)|Second Fleet]]. The first wave of attacks hit [[Harsefeld]], [[Ramen II]], Second Chance and [[Vanra]]; protected by little more than paramilitary forces and planetary militias, both Harsefeld and Ramen II fell quickly, despite calling for assistance from the more substantial garrisons at Second Chance and Vanra.<ref name="FSWp53">''First Succession War'', p. 53-54, "A Path to Sarna: The League-Confederation Front"</ref>
−	==Political Affiliation==	+	The first battle for Second Chance took place in space; the [[FWLM]] task for arrived at the nadir [[jump point]], with the ground forces - led by the [[19th Marik Militia|Nineteenth]], [[20th Marik Militia|Twentieth]] and [[Thirty-eighth Marik Militia]] regiments - being escorted by a substantial naval group that included the ''[[Atreus (WarShip class)|Atreus]]''-class [[battleship]] [[Sorunda (Individual Atreus-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Sorunda'']] and the ''[[League (WarShip class)|League]]''-class [[destroyer]]s [[Ospina|FWLS ''Ospina'']] and [[Otavalo|FWLS ''Otavalo'']], two [[squadron]]s of attack [[DropShip]]s and three [[Wing (Formation)|wings]] of [[aerospace fighter]]s. In contrast with the other three systems hit in the opening wave, there was a substantial [[CCAF]] naval presence in the Second Chance system, as part of an ongoing patrol of the border. The Capellan naval presence was smaller than that of the FWLM task force, consisting of the ''[[Du Shi Wang]]''-class battleship [[Mica Liao (Individual Du Shi Wang-class WarShip)|CCS ''Mica Liao'']] and the ''[[Soyal]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Solstice|CCS ''Solstice'']], but both ships were at the zenith jump point when the FWLM task force arrived, and immediately began plotting an intercept jump.<ref name="FSWp53"/>

The League forces came about and engaged, with the ''Otavalo'' and a squadron of attack DropShips targeting the ''Solstice'' as a priority, while the ''Mica Liao'' exchanged fire with the ''Sorunda''. The ''Sorunda'', more heavily armed than her opponent, raked the ''Mica Liao'' with fire before launching nuclear-armed fighters that scored at least two hits against the ''Mica Liao's'' already weakened armor, destroying the Capellan battleship. Heavily outgunned, the ''Solstice'' launched her own nuclear missiles, destroying a pair of DropShips - an ''[[Intruder]]''-class attack DropShip and a ''[[Vengeance]]''-class fighter carrier - before being crippled and then exploding under the weight of fire from the ''Otavalo'', attack DropShips and fighter screens.<ref name="FSWp53"/>

A new command with little combat experience, half of the Lancers were on exercises on Second Chance's northern continent when the FWLM task force appeared, and word of the swift destruction of the Capellan naval forces was a heavy blow to the Lancers' morale - and that of the planetary government, who had little faith in the Lancers.<ref name="FSWp53"/>

The first wave of attacks hit [[Harsefeld]], [[Ramen II]], Second Chance and [[Vanra]]; protected by little more than paramilitary forces and planetary militias, both Harsefeld and Ramen II fell quickly, despite calling for assistance from the more substantial garrisons at Second Chance and Vanra.<ref name="FSWp53">''First Succession War'', p. 53-54, "A Path to Sarna: The League-Confederation Front"</ref> The first battle for Second Chance took place in space; the [[FWLM]] task for arrived at the nadir [[jump point]], with the ground forces - led by the [[19th Marik Militia|Nineteenth]], [[20th Marik Militia|Twentieth]] and [[Thirty-eighth Marik Militia]] regiments - being escorted by a substantial naval group that included the ''[[Atreus (WarShip class)|Atreus]]''-class [[battleship]] [[Sorunda (Individual Atreus-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Sorunda'']] and the ''[[League (WarShip class)|League]]''-class [[destroyer]]s [[Ospina|FWLS ''Ospina'']] and [[Otavalo|FWLS ''Otavalo'']], two [[squadron]]s of attack [[DropShip]]s and three [[Wing (Formation)|wings]] of [[aerospace fighter]]s. In contrast with the other three systems hit in the opening wave, there was a substantial [[CCAF]] naval presence in the Second Chance system, as part of an ongoing patrol of the border. The Capellan naval presence was smaller than that of the FWLM task force, consisting of the ''[[Du Shi Wang]]''-class battleship [[Mica Liao (Individual Du Shi Wang-class WarShip)|CCS ''Mica Liao'']] and the ''[[Soyal]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Solstice|CCS ''Solstice'']], but both ships were at the zenith jump point when the FWLM task force arrived, and immediately began plotting an intercept jump.<ref name="FSWp53"/> The two Capellan WarShips arrived just as the League task force was starting to burn for the planet, and announced their presence with a long-range [[mass driver]] shot from the ''Solstice'' that destroyed the ''Opina'' in a single hit. The League forces came about and engaged, with the ''Otavalo'' and a squadron of attack DropShips targeting the ''Solstice'' as a priority, while the ''Mica Liao'' exchanged fire with the ''Sorunda''. The ''Sorunda'', more heavily armed than her opponent, raked the ''Mica Liao'' with fire before launching nuclear-armed fighters that scored at least two hits against the ''Mica Liao's'' already weakened armor, destroying the Capellan battleship. Heavily outgunned, the ''Solstice'' launched her own nuclear missiles, destroying a pair of DropShips - an ''[[Intruder]]''-class attack DropShip and a ''[[Vengeance]]''-class fighter carrier - before being crippled and then exploding under the weight of fire from the ''Otavalo'', attack DropShips and fighter screens.<ref name="FSWp53"/> Having powered through the Capellan naval defenses, the League task force moved to deploy ground forces on Second Chance. The primary defensive unit on the ground was the [[Twentieth Liao Lancers]]; mustered originally to defend Raman II, the Lancers had been rotated to Second Chance in [[2785]] to fill the gap left by the [[Third Tikonov Lancers]], who had been redeployed into former [[Terran Hegemony]] space. A new command with little combat experience, half of the Lancers were on exercises on Second Chance's northern continent when the FWLM task force appeared, and word of the swift destruction of the Capellan naval forces was a heavy blow to the Lancers' morale - and that of the planetary government, who had little faith in the Lancers.<ref name="FSWp53"/> The planetary government ordered the Lancers' support formations to deploy to Sevarias and Sweethaven, two major port cities; the support regiments were vehicle and infantry regiments raised locally, and the government planned to use them to cover the evacuation of high-level officials from the government and the major corporations present on the planet. The discovery that their attempts to rally to defend the planet were being blocked by the planetary government to cover their own evacuation was the last straw for many of the Lancers; by the time the League task force arrived in orbit, a third of the Lancers had already deserted. The League task force detected a number of DropShips warming up for liftoff at Sweethaven; working on the assumption that the DropShips represented a possible attack being launched, the captain of the ''Sorunda'' initiated a seven-minute orbital bombardment of the spaceport. The hellish firestorm destroyed four ''[[Union]]''-class DropShips belonging to the Lancers, two armor companies and a regiment of infantry - and also killed both the planetary governor, Duke Maynard Stott, and the Security Minister, Haley Fernando, along with the majority of the planetary elite. When League [[General]] [[Matias Rosenkov]] called for Second Chance to surrender an hour later, [[Colonel]] [[Mila Palmer]], commanding officer of the remaining Lancers and the senior military officer left on Second Chance, had little choice but to acquiesce.<ref name="FSWp53"/> == Planetary Ruler == === 2787 === * [[Duke]] [[Maynard Stott]] (until February)<ref name="FSWp53"/> == Military Deployment == ===2765=== * [[3rd Tikonov Lancers|Third Tikonov Lancers]]<ref>''Field Report 2765: Capellan Confederation'', p. 15, "Regimental Status"</ref> === 2786 === * [[20th Liao Lancers|Twentieth Liao Lancers]]<ref name="FSWp136">''First Succession War (Source Book)'', p. 136, "First Succession War Deployment Table - CCAF"</ref> * Third Tikonov Lancers<ref name="FSWp136">''First Succession War (Source Book)'', p. 136, "First Succession War Deployment Table - CCAF"</ref> === 2787 === * Twentieth Liao Lancers<ref name="FSWp53"/> === 2821 === * [[Tenth Atrean Dragoons]]<ref name="FSWp138">''First Succession War (Source Book)'', p. 138, "First Succession War Deployment Table - FWLM"</ref> ===3038=== * [[2nd Oriente Hussars|Second Oriente Hussars]]<ref name="H:Wo3039p140">''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 140, "Free Worlds League Military"</ref> ===3039-3040=== * Second Oriente Hussars (from July 3039)<ref name="H:Wo3039p140"/> ===3085=== * [[Vandelay's Valkyries]] <ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 187, "RAF Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> :- At this point in time the Valkyries were at 90% of full strength, with 60% of their equipment featuring upgraded technology. == Planetary Locations == * Sevarias: a major port city on Second Chance.<ref name="FSWp53"/> * Sweethaven: a major port city on Second Chance.<ref name="FSWp53"/> ==Nearby Planets== {|class="wikitable" width='800' style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 2px solid black;" ! colspan="10" | Planets within 2 jumps (60 light-years) <br />Closest planets first: |- !
