Overview[edit]
In 3019 three regiments from the DCMS including the Twelfth Star Guard mercenaries attempted to rebuild and reorganize on Fallon II. The AFFS surprised the DCMS forces by launching a raid using McKinnon's Raiders, a subcommand of the Seventh Crucis Lancers, to strike at Fallon II, intent on destroying or disabling factories and mines on the metal-rich but air-poor world. It was during the raid by McKinnon's troops that Tai-i Mercer Ravannion attempted to prove his theory that hordes of light 'Mechs would prove more viable as combat forces than smaller numbers of heavier 'Mechs. The attempt proved to be a failure in what was recorded as the Battle of Markerson.
