	In [[3070]], a Blakist invasion force arrived in the form of the [[38th Division (Word of Blake)|Thirty-eighth Division]] and the [[Fortieth Shadow Division]].  This force was escorted by the ''[[Lola III]]'' Class Destroyer, [[End of Wisdom|WoBS ''End of Wisdom'']], and a reinforced [[Level II]] of [[Pocket WarShip|Pocket WarShips]]. The invasion's escort fleet overwhelmed and destroyed the Lyran ''[[Fox (WarShip class)|Fox]]''-class corvette [[Melissa Steiner (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|LAS ''Melissa Steiner'']], effectively blockading the planet.  The two divisions landed on Maria's Elegy and the Defiance Industries factory complexes. At the same time, the Light of Mankind teams enacted their long-awaited mission objectives, sabotaging defensive systems and assassinating key personnel. The Fifteenth Lyran Guards, who had also been infiltrated, failed to mount a strong defense and suffered horrendous casualties. The unit was forced to withdraw under heavy fire toward the factory's interior, with [[Gina Ciampa]], the Fifteenth's commander, leading the last-ditch effort to barricade the South Gate. Though she tried to destroy her own 'Mech to close the entrance, Tau infantry was able to stop her and promptly executed her, seizing the gate. With only fourteen days of fight, Hesperus II was first conquered by an outside power.

−	During the Word of Blake occupation, the Word brought in Terran technician that supgraded and improved factory production on Hesperus II, and used the planet as a resupply/refit stronghold and a base for forces conducting strikes into their the Lyran Theaters of operations. In the first two weeks of November [[3074]], Coalition forces led by [[Devlin Stone]] launched an assault against the defending Word of Blake forces, determined to recapture the planet after the successful defense of [[Skye]] earlier in the year.

They inflicted heavy losses on the [[DCMS]] unit before forcing them off-world.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3025 Revised'', p. 112</ref> === Thirteenth Battle of Hesperus === The 15th also participated in the Thirteenth ([[3019]])<ref>''Wolf's Dragoons'', p. 24</ref><ref name=Hector-2>''Hector'', ch. 2</ref> and Fourteenth ([[3057]]) Battles for Hesperus. During the Thirteenth battle the Guards used the mountains surrounding the Erewhon River floodplain to ambush [[Delta Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons) | Delta Regiment]] of [[Wolf's Dragoons]] and hold them in place while the [[Hsien Hotheads]] launched quick hit-and-run attacks and other Lyran regiments withdrew to defend the [[Defiance Industries]] factories.<ref name=Hector-7>''Hector'', ch. 7</ref> The 15th was ultimately successful in slowing [[Delta Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons) | Delta Regiment]]'s attempts to ford the Erewhon river and held up the Dragoons' advance long enough for the other Lyran defenders to block the Dragoons' attempts to reach the factories and forced them to withdraw.<ref name=Hector-12>''Hector'', ch. 12</ref> === Fourteenth Battle of Hesperus === The Fourteenth battle was particularly difficult for the Guards, as it involved two-thirds of the unit's members betraying their oaths and declaring Hesperus II part of the Free Star Republic. The remaining elements of the unit were able to run a series of guerrilla operations that prevented the mutineers from attacking [[Defiance Industries]]. The [[LAAF]] High Command sent reinforcements and the rebels were quickly defeated. The action had been costly though and cost the 15th nearly half their number. Investigations by the [[Lyran Intelligence Corps]] reduced the unit still further as disloyal officers were removed. === Clan Invasion === ==== Operation Bulldog ==== During [[Operation Bulldog]] the 15th served to secure rear areas, but also faced the [[27th Garrison Cluster (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|27th Garrison Cluster]] on [[Lonaconing]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 113</ref> Working with the [[4th Arkab Legion|4^th Arkab Legion]] the 15th was able to maul the Clan unit while avoiding damage.<ref name=FMLA80/> === Fifteenth Battle of Hesperus === The Fifteenth Battle of Hesperus found the Guards on world and the target of several orbital bombardments. The Guards defended the main Defiance Industries complex, preventing the [[Free Skye Movement]] from taking over the factory.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 170</ref> They were vulnerable to these assaults because they had no aerospace assets.<ref>''The Dying Time'', p. 39</ref> They were fired upon by the ''[[Avalon]]''-class ''Simon Davion'', which destroyed much of Maria's Elegy spaceport. The spaceport was the home base of the 15th. Two thousand infantrymen and armor crews were killed along with several hundred civilians. Two weeks later the Guards destroyed the [[22nd Skye Rangers|22^th Skye Rangers]] as they assaulted the Defiance complex, but the supporting [[Gray Death Legion]] suffered heavy losses.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 147</ref><ref>''The Dying Time'', p. 128</ref> With the support of [[Defiance Industries]], the Fifteenth's equipment remained in excellent shape.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 177</ref> The 15th maintained heavy pressure on the Free Skye forces until the [[36th Lyran Guards|36^th Lyran Guards]] and [[2nd Donegal Guards|2^th Donegal Guards]] arrived to reinforce them. The combined [[LAAF]] units forced the Free Skye forces to surrender.<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 178</ref> === Sixteenth Battle of Hesperus === From March [[3068]] until early [[3070]] the [[Word of Blake]] ran [[Operation STEEL HAMMER]], a series of heavy raids against the planet's defenders. The first raid fell between the 14th and 17th of March [[3068]], coinciding with raids on [[Coventry]] and [[Donegal]]; the three raids all featured support from Blakist [[WarShip]]s or [[Pocket WarShip]]s.<ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> In the first phase, the [[16th Division (Word of Blake)|Sixteenth]] and [[22nd Division (Word of Blake)|Twenty-second Divisions]] conducted extensive raiding against the planet's defenders which began in [[3068]]. Over the course of approximately two years, elements of the [[Light of Mankind]] were inserted on the planet, using the raids as a cover. In [[3070]], a Blakist invasion force arrived in the form of the [[38th Division (Word of Blake)|Thirty-eighth Division]] and the [[Fortieth Shadow Division]]. This force was escorted by the ''[[Lola III]]'' Class Destroyer, [[End of Wisdom|WoBS ''End of Wisdom'']], and a reinforced [[Level II]] of [[Pocket WarShip|Pocket WarShips]]. The invasion's escort fleet overwhelmed and destroyed the Lyran ''[[Fox (WarShip class)|Fox]]''-class corvette [[Melissa Steiner (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|LAS ''Melissa Steiner'']], effectively blockading the planet. The two divisions landed on Maria's Elegy and the Defiance Industries factory complexes.
