As the DropShips of the Knights of the Inner Sphere were making their landings near New Andery on 12th March 3060 they were attacked by elements of Binary Fighter, two Avars were shot down.[2][3]

The Twelfth Solahma Cluster along with the Iron Guard Command Trinary, Trinary Fighter and a portion of the Forty-fourth Solahma Cluster were stationed at the main training facility several kilometers to the west of Lootera. They soon found themselves under attack by the Twenty-first Striker Regiment and the 151st Light Horse Regiment of the Eridani Light Horse.[4][5]
