The Procurement Department of the [[DCMS]] sent unassembled battleMechs, with some new technologies then forming regiment. Bureau of Substitution whom handles the personnal assignments for the Combined military did not send best troops do to low quality of equipment it had been given. The Procurement Department later cited due to lack good quality troops, that good quality equipment would be wasted on their few inferior regiment.
		+
		+	When the unit became activated in late 3058, the unit's battle roster made the unit mirror old [[Legion of Vega]]. The unit's informal nick name ''Iota's Irregular'' stemped from a company of MechWarriors spray painting their nicknames on the back of their 'Mechs. The Regiment's commander was reprimated due to his warrior moving on to use spray-cans to paint Draconis Combine & Dieron Military District's crests on the their machines.

Its second company commander, Tai-i Loveday, used his own efforts aquired parts for the regiment. Through his sole efforts, allowed the unit aquire upgrades such as [[Swarm LRM\|Swarm]] & [[Thunder LRM]] parts. Tai-sa Iota has worked cover the Tai-i from being investigated, however the Loveday's yazhua connection drawn attention of the [[ISF]]. Being viewed as gang has also lead the 2nd Company to development of using gang tactics.<ref>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'' page 58 - 45th Dieron Regulars - Overview & Tactics.</ref>

Operation Doppelganger

New page

Operation Doppelganger was originally a plot by [[Maximilian Liao]] to replace [[Hanse Davion]] with a double. In [[3025]] the double's existence was discovered by [[Ardan Sortek]]. The [[Capellan Confederation|Capellan]] plan required that the pseudo-Hanse Davion truly believe he was the real thing, so he was subjected to several extreme personality modifications including brainwashing.<ref>[[Ardath Mayhar]], ''[[The Sword and the Dagger]]''</ref>

In [[3027]], inspired by a report from [[Quintus Allard]], [[Simon Johnson]] and [[Katrina Steiner]] selected [[Jeana Clay]] to become the body double for [[Melissa Steiner]]. Like the original Capellan plan the volunteer's previous existence was eliminated<ref>''[[Warrior: En Garde]]'' pg. 74 - Jeana's interview with the [[Archon]] discusses the price Clay would pay for this service.</ref>, but unlike the Capellan plan, the body double was a volunteer and therefore wasn't brainwashed.

As a result of the [[3051]] conference on [[Outreach]], Hanse Davion offered to take [[Joshua Marik]] to the [[New Avalon Institute of Science]] to treat his leukemia. In exchange, the [[Free Worlds League]] provided war supplies to the [[Federated Commonwealth]] and [[Draconis Combine]] to fight the [[Clans]].<ref>''[[Blood Legacy]]'' (1990)</ref> After Joshua died in [[3057]], [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] was afraid that [[Thomas Marik]] would stop providing these military supplies. With this thought in mind, Victor ordered the creation of a double for Joshua Marik to disguise his death.<ref>''[[Grave Covenant]]'', p. ?? In a conversation with Thomas, Victor describes his action as nothing more than an attempt to buy time.</ref> When this substitution was discovered later that year, Thomas Marik retaliated by launching [[Operation Guerrero]]<ref>[[Shattered Sphere]], p. 78, "Operation Guerrero"</ref>.

Operation Guerrero

2009-11-20T19:02:54Z

Added links to article.

New page

Operation Guerrero was a short conflict between the [[Federated Commonwealth]], the [[Free Worlds League]], and the [[Capellan Confederation]]. Despite lasting only three months, the conflict set the stage for serious repercussions over the next two decades, ultimately culminating in the [[FedCom Civil War]].

= Background =

After the death of [[Joshua Marik]] in [[3057]], [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] replaced the [[Operation Doppelganger|child with a double]] to keep war supplies from the Free Worlds League coming to his forces. [[Thomas Marik]] discovered this substitution in September of that year, and ordered the [[FWLM]] to attack the Federated Commonwealth in retaliation for the deception. Most of these worlds were former Free Worlds League planets that the Federated Commonwealth had captured and integrated into the [[Sarna March]]. [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] ordered the [[CCAF]] to attack Sarna March worlds as well to support his (possible) father-in-law.

Simultaneously with the attacks on the Sarna March by the FWLM and CCAF, [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] announced the formation of the [[Lyran Alliance]] and declared her nation neutral in the conflict.

== Military Actions ==
The Federated Commonwealth was completely taken by surprise by the attacks, as most of their attention was on the [[Clan]] front. The [[LIC]], [[DMI]], and [[MIIO]] erroneously attributed the movements of the FWLM attackers along the Sarna March border to routine troop movements.
=== FWLM First Wave ===
In September 3057, the FWLM attacked the [[Callison]], [[Denebola]], [[Marcus]], [[Van Diemen IV]], [[Talitha]] and [[Wasat]] systems. These six systems were each attacked by three FWLM regiments. The systems were chosen specifically because they were garrisoned by Federated Commonwealth troops.<ref>[[Shattered Sphere]], p. 74</ref>

Callison was attacked by the [[Fourth Free Worlds Legionnaires]], [[First Free Worlds Guards]], and [[Silver Hawk Irregular's Falcon]] regiment. Though normally defended by a [[Skye March Militia]] unit, the SMM was conducting exercises on [[Caph]] which left the system's defense to the small planetary militia. After holding out for several days the militia unit surrendered.

Denebola was taken by the [[Sixth Free Worlds Legionnaires]], [[Atrean Hussars]], and [[Fourth Marik Militia]]. The [[Eleventh Lyran Guards]] withdrew in good order from the system, basically leaving the system to the FWLM forces.

The attack on Marcus was very different from the Callison and Denebola attacks. Defended by the [[Twelfth FedCom]] [[RCT]], Marcus was attacked by the [[Seventh Free Worlds League Legionnaires]], [[Fifth Marik Militia]], and [[Twelfth Atrean Dragoons]]. The FedCom 'Mech regiment attacked the larger force in a suicidal attempt to provide time for the rest of the FedCom defenders to withdraw. This attack destroyed a third of the Seventh Legionnaires, but the Fifth Militia and Twelfth Dragoons circled behind the Twelfth FedCom's 'Mechs and destroyed them.

On Van Diemen IV the [[FedCom]] defenders successfully held off the [[Tenth and Twenty-Third Marik Militias]] and the [[Third Oriente Hussars]] until December, when the [[First Sirian Lancers]] reinforced the FLWM.

Talitha was secured for the Free Worlds League by the [[Sixth Marik Militia]] and [[Atrean Hussars]].<ref>[[Shattered Sphere]], p. 74 (Note: Third FWLM regiment and FedCom defending unit not named in source.)</ref>

The [[Second Republican]] regiment was destroyed on Wasat by the [[Thirteenth Marik Militia]], [[Fourth Oriente Hussars]], and [[Second Sirian Lancers]].

=== FWLM Second Wave ===
With more time to prepare, the FedCom defenders did marginally better at defending their systems from the Free Worlds League forces that attacked, though they lost [[Devil's Rock]], [[Oliver]], [[Castor]], [[Pollux]], and [[Zosma]]. Unlike the first wave, the FWLM didn't always use overwhelming force when taking these systems, allowing the FedCom defenders to give a better performance.

On Devil's Rock the [[Third Free Worlds Guards]] were rapidly bogged down in a harsh fight with the planetary militia, but eventually crushed all organized resistance.

The [[Third NAIS cadre]] cost the [[Twentieth Marik Militia]] and the [[First Orloff Grenadiers]] dearly, but eventually were forced off of Oliver.

Castor and Zosma were only defended by a few planetary militia units which were easily defeated by the [[Third Sirian Lancers]] (Castor) and the [[Ninth Marik Militia]] (Zosma).

Pollux's defenders were limited to two regiments: One each of armor and infantry. The other five regiments either withdrew to the Lyran Alliance or joined the Free Worlds League, so the [[Thirty-Fourth Marik Militia]] gained control of the system within a week of their arrival.

== Role of the Capellan Confederation ==
Though the death of Joshua Marik and the attempt to deceive the [[Captain-General]] was the excuse given for starting Operation Guerrero, the Free Worlds League Military wasn't the major aggressor in the struggle. Once the FWLM forces took possession of the eleven Sarna March systems that had belonged to the Free Worlds League prior to the [[Fourth Succession War]], Thomas Marik ordered his troops to consolidate their holdings.

Sun-Tzu Liao, however, had been fomenting rebellion on many Sarna March worlds since he took the [[Celestial Throne]] in [[3052]] and wouldn't be satisfied until all the former Capellan worlds were once again part of the Confederation. While engaged to [[Isis Marik]] he also pushed Thomas to assist him in attacking the Sarna March. For five years Thomas refused, but when Operation Guerrero began, the [[LCCC]] assigned the tactical and strategic command rights of several [[mercenary units]] to the CCAF.

=== Capellan Preparations Pre-Guerrero ===
The Capellan Confederation sponsored pro-Capellan terrorist groups on former Sarna March worlds, and in [[3056]] these groups stepped up their attacks on Federated Commonwealth forces. The most well known terrorist group, ''[[Zhanzeng de Guang]]'' (War of Light), struck police and militia units on [[Aldebaran]], [[Gan Singh]], [[Zurich]], and [[Styk]].<ref>[[Shattered Sphere]], p. 68</ref> Throughout [[3056]] and [[3057]] the Zhanzeng de Guang and other terror groups set up cells on [[Acamar]], [[Fletcher]], and [[Nanking]]. These groups did whatever they could to destabilize the [[Davion]]-installed governments, but neither the CCAF or FWLM would commit troops to support their efforts until Operation Guerrero was authorized.

=== CCAF First Wave ===
Five [[Warrior House]] regiments attacked [[Liao]] on the same day that the Free Worlds League announced hostilities with the Federated Commonwealth. Faced only by an inexperienced militia unit, the system fell quickly. At the same time, the Zhanzeng de Guang took control of Zurich, overthrowing the existing pro-Davion government.<ref>[[Shattered Sphere]], p. 68</ref>

=== CCAF Second Wave ===
At the start of Operation Guerreo's second wave, Sun-Tzu Liao activated guerrilla networks on [[Caph]], [[Keid]], [[New Home]], [[Epsilon Indi]], and [[Northwind]] in an attempt to return the worlds to the Capellan Confederation. These revolts were successful on each world except Epsion Indi, and the FWLM sent mercenary units to every world except Kied. (Kied would later join the Lyran Alliance.)

On Northwind, home of the famed [[Northwind Highlander]] regiments, the pro-Liao terrorist activity prompted Victor Davion to send the [[Third Royal RCT]] to insure the planet didn't leave the Federated Commonwealth. The Third's commander attempted to take the planet by force when on-world Highlanders started debating who they should fight for. This action prompted the off-world Northwind Highlander units to return home to liberate their planet from the Third Royal RCT. Sun-Tzu declared Northwind an independent Confederation barony and permanently ceded it to the Highlanders.<ref>[[Shattered Sphere]], p. 68 "The Highlander Gambit"</ref><ref>These events are detailed in the novel ''[[Highlander Gambit]]'' by [[Blaine Lee Pardoe]].</ref>

Zurich fell to a pro-Davion counter-terrorist group when the [[Black Cobras]] mercenary unit was ordered to [[Nanking]] by the LCCC.

The Black Cobras were assigned to secure Nanking for the Capellan Confederation, which would bring the system's factories under CCAF control. As the Cobras were making planetfall, their [[DropShips]] were destroyed by explosives placed by saboteurs. This effectively wiped out the Black Cobras as a whole, and [[Smithson's Chinese Bandits]] (a Marik mercenary unit already on Nanking) surrendered to the planet's defenders when a Federated Commonwealth relief force arrived.

= Aftermath =
There were several important outcomes that resulted from Operation Guerrero's success. The most obvious was the destruction of the Federated Commonwealth when Katherine Steiner-Davion formed the Lyran Alliance. Her actions, and Victor's efforts to oppose her, ultimately led to the [[FedCom Civil War]].

Though the Free Worlds League gained eleven systems it had lost, the real victor was the Capellan Confederation. Most of the Capellan Confederation's Sarna Commonality worlds, controlled by the Federated Commonwealth since the [[Fourth Succession War]], would return to the Capellan Confederation. (Ironically, this didn't include [[Sarna]], which became one of several independent states in the [[Chaos March]].) Sun-Tzu Liao would also create a new commonality centered on Liao.

The other major outcome of this conflict was the creation of the Chaos March, where forces loyal to the Capellan Confederation, Free Worlds League, Federated Suns, and [[Word of Blake]] struggled for control of many of the former Sarna March worlds. Rather than a single strong entity that the Capellan Confederation couldn't defeat, the Chaos March was populated by at least six minor and short lived independent nations. Sun-Tzu Liao's [[Xin Sheng]]-inspired CCAF would have little trouble conquering these nations in the next few decades.

-	The Lyran Alliance was created when [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] invoked Emergency Powers and seceded the Lyran half from the [[Federated Commonwealth]]. She used her brother's apparent duplicity and the war that followed as her rationale. To prevent the [[Free Worlds League]] from discontinuing supplies for the war against the [[Clans]] to the rest of the [[Inner Sphere]], [[Victor Ian Steiner-Davion]] had substituted a double in place of Thomas' son, [[Joshua Marik]], since the boy had died of leukemia despite his treatment in the [[New Avalon Institute of Science]]. When Thomas was informed of the deception, he launched a war, allied with [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] and his [[Capellan Confederation]], to retake worlds he lost to Victor's father, [[Hanse Davion]], in the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Victor directly controlled the half of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] formerly known as the [[Federated Suns]], while Kathrine was his regent in the half formerly known as the Lyran Commonwealth. Thomas sent a message to Kathrine reassuring her that he had no quarrel with her, and accordingly would not attack any of her worlds, though he would understand if she sided with her brother and would bear no ill-will. Instead, Kathrine decided to give Victor no support and to effectively sever her half of the realm and christen it the Lyran Alliance (not reverting completely to the original name of [[Lyran Commonwealth]] because she claimed Victor's actions had tainted the word 'commonwealth.')	+	The Lyran Alliance was created when [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] invoked Emergency Powers and seceded the Lyran half from the [[Federated Commonwealth]]. She used her brother's apparent duplicity and the war that followed as her rationale. To prevent the [[Free Worlds League]] from discontinuing supplies for the war against the [[Clans]] to the rest of the [[Inner Sphere]], [[Victor Ian Steiner-Davion]] had [[Operation Doppelganger\|substituted a double]] in place of Thomas' son, [[Joshua Marik]], since the boy had died of leukemia despite his treatment in the [[New Avalon Institute of Science]].

-	Almost immediately, however, there was opposition. Victor still had supporters in Lyran half of his realm, the most powerful of whom was [[Morgan Kell]]. Kell used his title as Duke of [[Arc-Royal]] and his position on the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] border to create what was effectively an independent state known as the [[Arc-Royal Defense Cordon]]. Grand Duke Morgan Kell paid lip service to Archon Katherine, but ran his affairs to his own liking. The ARDC became a haven for military units, House and mercenary alike, that did not approve of Katherine's secession and maintained loyalty to Archon-Prince Victor.	+	Almost immediately, however, there was opposition.
