History[edit]
Amaris Civil War[edit]
After the Amaris Coup Killbourn was occupied by his forces. When the Star League Defense Force came to rescue of the planet in 2775 they found a full brigade of AEAF troops garrisoning the world (though two regiments were largely notional Patriot units that in actuality were less than half strength and the mercenary unit Black Horse Carabineers.
The bulk of the loyal Amaris mercenaries and the government officials attempted to flee Killbourn, but did not react quickly enough and were intercepted by the L Corps' own landing force in orbit. The Republicans lost two DropShips in the encounter, including a company of the mercenary units.
The Carabineers waged what campaign they could, targeting the atmospheric processors and other critical infrastructure to slow the SLDF as much as possible. The Patriot regiments had been given control of a limited WMD cache prior to the mercenaries' attempted pullout, finally used two nukes to destroy the Carabineers before surrendering to the Star League forces and putting an end to the active battle for Killbourn.[1]
