Overview
The Battle of Glenmora was the last engagement of the Draconis Reach Campaign.[3]
Prelude
The Reach campaign saw ten worlds, those of the Draconis Reach conquered easily by Wolf's Dragoons in barely a year. Caleb Davion, the First Prince simply didn't bother about that, focused in other matters, but his subordinates managed to send a elite regiment into Glenmora, the Second Robinson Rangers. After the ISF informed the Ryuken-go's commander and liaison with the Dragoons, Tori Ishihara, she informed Henry Kincaid. Fearing the troops' concentration was a prelude to a counterattack against the Reach, Kincaid suggested to launch a raid against the planet. On Luthien, Warlord Matsuhari Toranaga, agreed, but sending only the Dragoons, expecting to distance the Combine from the attack, and prevent a possible Sun's invasion. He specifically forbid any Kuritan forces to cross the frontier.[4]
Battle
Aftermath
The Dragoons leaved Glenmora very weakened: the Spider's Web and Wolfsbane Battalion were barely operational... but the survivors were experienced, and the salvage from the battle was huge. Still better, the rifts between the dragoons and Ryuken had been sealed, with the Ryuken's oportune rescue. Ishihara, far from being punished, was condecorated by Toranaga and promoted to General, or Tai-sho. The Suns' were weakened, and found themselves in a bad situation, which the Combine would use, few years later, to invade the Suns' space and conwuer New Avalon.[5][6]
