Thanks to machinations performed by King [[Hendrik Grimm III]] of the [[Oberon Confederation]], both [[Maria Morgraine]] and [[Redjack Ryan]] - leaders of noted pirate bands, rulers of [[Morgraine's Valkyrate]] and [[Butte Hold]] respectively, and former lovers turned deadly enemies - arrived on-world, each acting in the belief that they were ambushing the other as part of an agreement with Grimm backed by the [[Draconis Combine]]. While both units were attacking the depot, the waiting [[Thirtieth Lyran Guards]] sprang an ambush of their own, nearly destroying both bandit groups; however, Ryan and Morgraine both escaped, with Morgraine saving Ryan in the process, and the two not only reconciled, but went so far as to merge their realms into a new bandit kingdom, the [[Greater Valkyrate]].<ref name="UU"/> |

The Twelfth Star Guards took position in the hollows of the Judea Jungle, but the Jade Falcon's [[Turkina Keshik (Clan Jade Falcon)|Turkina Keshik]] and [[9th Talon (Clan Jade Falcon)|Ninth Talon]] [[Cluster]] used their imposing strengths to swiftly rout the Twelfth Star Guards from their positions. The Falcons then used [[aerospace fighter]]s and lighter 'Mech units to swiftly cut down the Guards as they retreated through the barrens of Cantor Climb.
