[[Task Force MAILED FIST]] had been divided into three Battle Groups, and it was [[Battle Group Timbuktu]] that was assigned responsibility for the conquest of Nightwish; the decision made was to deploy the newly-arrived [[Draconis Auxiliary Corps]] to annex the world, a decision that led to repercussions felt throughout the remainder of the campaign.<ref name="H:RWp134">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134, "Helbrent to Nightwish (July 2582 - November 2584)"</ref> The Draconis Auxiliary Corps consisted of four line formations - the [[2nd Sword of Light|Second]] and [[7th Sword of Light|Seventh Sword of Light]] regiments, the [[4th Proserpina Hussars|Fourth Proserpina Hussars]] and the [[1st Arkab Legion|First Arkab Legion]]. [[First Lord]] [[Ian Cameron]] had already directed that the [[Reunification War]] would be fought under total war conditions, not the conditions dictated by the [[Ares Conventions]]; as a result,<ref name="H:RWp134"/> with the notable exception of the First Arkab Legion,<ref name="H:RWp36">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134, "First Arkab Legion"</ref> the campaign for control of Nightwish was fought with a level of brutality unmatched on any other Republic world up to that point. The campaign began with the [[DCMS]] units landing on the 16th of June 2584, relishing the anticipated tough campaign against the Second Dragoons; with the limitations of the Ares Conventions removed the Combine forces had no compunction about torturing captives to obtain information, or about shelling civilian settlements as a method of driving out concealed Republican forces. The resulting death toll was heavily skewed, with the Combine forces losing just forty-two personnel (including seven [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]]) while the Republican casualties were in excess of ten thousand. Word of the tactics the Combine used on Nightwish quickly spread,<ref name="H:RWp134"/> resulting in both the Republican loyalist and rebel forces placing all of the Combine forces other than the First Arkab Legion on a "kill on sight" footing,<ref name="H:RWp36"/> as well as tarring all of the other units within Task Force MAILED FIST with the same brush, condemning all of the SLDF as barbarians.<ref name="H:RWp134"/> The actions of the Draconis Auxiliary Corps on Nightwish resulted in the resistance faced by Task Force MAILED FIST stiffening considerably on most other worlds within the Republic, slowing the progress made by the Task Force and sapping morale.<ref name="H:RWp134A">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134, "Arlina to Viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref> When [[Duke]] [[Narinder Selaj]] of the [[Second Marik Auxiliary Corps]] confronted ''[[Tai-sho (rank)|Tai-sho]]'' Fujimora about the actions of the DCMS forces on Nightwish, the rebuffal was direct and to the point:<ref name="H:RWp134"/> {{Quote|"You wanted the world.
