Icar Brigade
Affiliation Free Rasalhague Republic
Parent Command KungsArmé

The Icar Brigade was defending Icar until 3050 when it was destroyed by Clan Wolf during the early Clan Invasion.[1]

History[edit]

Third Succession War[edit]

In 3017 Icar was raided by pirate Redjack Ryan. An Icar Militia company that had a lance of Von Luckner heavy tanks ambushed the pirated and forced them to withdraw with heavy damage and no booty.[2][3]

Clan Invasion[edit]

Icar was conquered by Clan Wolf during Operation REVIVAL in March 3050, invading the planet with Supernova First and Second along with Alpha Assault Star of the Fourth Wolf Guards. They were opposed by the Third Regiment of the Twelfth Star Guards, commanded by Colonel Hannah Caitlin, backed up by the Third Icar Armored Brigade. The initial Wolf assault was swift, quickly overrunning the Star Guards' Second Battalion just minutes after securing their landing zones, and when Colonel Caitlin attempted to counterattack at Pofadder's Gully her advance was repulsed. The Star Guards attempted to retreat offworld but were stopped when Elementals boarded their DropShips at Cuanger and forced their surrender.[4]
