The triggering event was the loss of a Fifteenth DLC Combat Command. Thinking that the Fifth Crucis Lancers were responsible, the Fifteenth attacked. The Fifth Lancers destroyed their supplies however, and after three weeks the Fifteenth DLC had to withdraw.<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', pp. 31-32</ref> The Fifteenth landed on [[Algol]] just in time to see the destruction of the [[2nd Republican|Second Republican]] at the hands of the [[Twelfth Vegan Rangers]]' [[Beta Regiment (12th Vegan Rangers)|Beta]] and [[Gamma Regiment (12th Vegan Rangers)|Gamma]] regiments. The Ranger regiments then turned their attention to the Fifteenth DLC, trying to destroy them. The Vegan Rangers were reinforced by the Fifth Crucis Lancers, who had followed the Fifteenth Deneb Light Cavalry to Algol. The Deneb Light Cavalry and the other Loyalist regiments slowly began to overwhelm the pro-Victor forces.<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', pp. 54-55</ref> Unfortunately for the Fifteenth, the Twelfth Vegan Rangers [[Alpha Regiment (12th Vegan Rangers)|Alpha regiment]] arrived on Algol, and tipped the balance of power. The Fifteenth, now reinforced with the survivors of the Republican Guard regiments, left Algol in October.<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'', p. 81</ref> Arriving on [[Tikonov]], the Fifteenth faced the [[Davion Assault Guards]]. The Assault Guards inflicted serious losses on the Light Cavalry unit, forcing them to pull back. The Fifteenth seized Fort Pavel Ridzik and held off Allied forces.
