During the Reunification War, the world of Saonara was used as a [[Star League Defense Force]] staging post and supply cache for the [[SLDF]] task force invading the Magistracy of Canopus. As a world in the rear area, Saonara was assumed to be safe from threats when the invasion of the Magistracy began in [[2577]]; the [[Magistracy Armed Forces]] would disprove this theory in early [[2578]].<ref name="H:RWp99">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 99: "Meadowvale (January 2578)"</ref>

Intelligence received by the commander of the [[MAF]], [[Colonel]] [[Adam Buquoy]], indicated that the second-line troops acting as garrisons on various supply worlds throughout the border region of the Free Worlds League were ill-prepared for any attack and that where plans for the defense of supply worlds existed, they weren't being practiced. Buquoy acted decisively on this information; in addition to personally leading four mercenary units against the important supply world of [[Meadowvale]], he dispatched units to strike at three other supply and staging worlds - [[Ayn Tarma]], [[Granera]], and Saonara.<ref name="H:RWp99"/>

Saonara was successfully raided by the [[First Canopian Light Horse]],<ref name="H:RWp150">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 150: "Magistracy Of Canopus Front(Jump-Off - 2582)"</ref> and the attacks on the various supply and staging worlds attack were another shocking surprise for the SLDF task force, coming hot on the heels of the Canopian naval ambush at [[Vakarel]] and the rapid redeployments that had bloodied [[VII Corps (Star League)|VII Corps]] on [[Cranston]]. While the loss of the supplies was a major blow to the SLDF operations, more damaging was the knowledge that the theater of operations was no longer confined to the Magistracy itself and highlighted that the SLDF would need to defend rear areas previously considered safe. This again forced a change in the SLDF strategy, with the SLDF commander, [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Marion Marik]], ordering a temporary cessation of hostilities while supply routes were reorganized, escorts arranged, and garrisons bolstered. The raids also bought the MAF six months to rebuild and rearm.<ref name="H:RWp99"/>
