The Concordat Velites were one of the primary units of the Taurian Concordat during the Reunification War.
History[edit]
Reunification War[edit]
During the Reunification War, when General Amalthia Kincaid was replaced by General Amos Forlough, veteran of the ongoing war with the Outworlds Alliance. Forlough was unscrupulous, resolving to conduct a scorched earth campaign against the Taurian Concordat. However, he failed to inform his superiors of his tactics (or, for that matter, any losses or atrocities committed). Discipline and defections became significant problems under the leadership of General Forlough; the SLDF instituted severe corporal punishments for any infractions committed against orders.
Forlough commenced Wave Five in 2584, favoring scorched earth tactics against his adversaries. In order to prevent the complete destruction of the Concordat, Mitchell Calderon ordered his House regiments, thus far held in reserve, to bring war to the Star League. the Taurian Guard, the Concordat Velites and the Calderon Red Hand were deployed to Diefenbaker to destroy III Corps. Though most of the Taurian units were lost, III Corps was decimated, and unable to continue the invasion.[1]
Most of the units did not survive the Reunification War.
