Overview[edit]

During the Fourth Succession War, Kawich was one of the sites of Operation AMBUSH, where the AFFS lured several CCAF units to an early grave.[1]

On Kawich, elements of the Eridani Light Horse, First Davion Guards RCT, and Third Crucis Lancers RCT captured or destroyed elements from Warrior House Hiritsu, the Third Confederation Reserve Cavalry, Trimaldi's Secutors, and Laurel's Legion.[3] Fifty years later, people on Kawich refer to the remains of the destroyed 'Mechs and tanks as "Liao's Metal Tombstones".[1]
