Overview[edit]
Also known as McKinnon's Raid, McKinnon's Company launched a costly deep raid against the Capellan capital of Sian, gaining the unit their nom de guerre: McKinnon's Raiders.[1]
The Deep Raid's success and another on St. Ives alongside the Davion Assault Guards were credited with convincing Chancellor Dainmar Liao to sue for peace, and bring the Second Succession War to a close.[4][5][6]
