Planetary History[edit]
Second Succession War[edit]
On 19 June 2828, Chancellor Ilsa Liao landed on Orbisonia in command of the Red Lancers and the Prefectorate Guard, intent on seizing an important Federated Suns supply world and preventing the defending garrison—the Second Ceti Hussars and Fourteenth Avalon Hussars—from relieving Chesterton, the overall focus of Ilsa's Operation CELT.[43] The main Capellan forces consisted primarily of Marauder and Warhammer heavy BattleMechs and soon threatened to overrun the main Federated Suns staging ground and overwhelm the defending forces.[44]
With the initial assault going well and Capellan Confederation Armed Forces units driving the defending garrison hard, Ilsa Liao went to bed after being informed that other CCAF units were assaulting Chesterton, expecting to be woken with good news about assaults on the Demeter and Sanilac systems. Instead, she was woken early in the morning with the news that the Davion Assault Guards were dropping onto Orbisonia, having arrived at a pirate point close to the planet. First Prince Paul Davion had been moving troops in anticipation of his own invasion of the Confederation, Operation DAO, and Ilsa's offensive had run straight into the teeth of Davion's marshaling forces.[43]
Ilsa ordered a general retreat, but the light forces of the Ceti Hussars and Avalon Hussars proved difficult to disengage from, and the Assault Guards landed across the CCAF positions, threatening to turn the retreat into a rout—or a massacre. Ilsa took to the field personally, taking command of the rearguard and refusing to retreat while she covered her withdrawing forces.[43] The garrison was able to make good use of information provided by Armed Forces of the Federated Suns recon and intelligence assets—primarily Darter scout cars—to outmaneuver and outsmart the attacking Capellan forces. After four days of combat, the Capellan forces were retreating from Orbisonia when the AFFS troops acted on intelligence indicating that Chancellor Liao was leading the rearguard personally. They launched an targeted strike and Ilsa Liao was the first Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation to die on the battlefield,[44] though she secured a safe retreat for almost four-fifths of her forces on Orbisonia.[43]
