==History==
===Reunification War===
With the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] in a state of civil war from [[2575]] onwards, the '''First Amaris Dragoons''' found their loyalties divided, with some elements chosing to support the rebel [[Rim Provisional Government]] while others remained loyal to [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]].<ref name="H:RWp154">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 154, "Rim Worlds Republic Front (Jump-off - 2587)"</ref>

By [[2584]] the civil war had been raging within the Rim Worlds Republic for nine years, and the First Dragoons had lapsed into sectarian violence against each other on their garrison world of [[Kikuyu]], an internecine conflict sparked by the divided loyalties within the Dragoons; when the [[Star League Defense Force]] launched the second wave of planetary campaigns as a part of [[Operation MAILED FIST]], the [[Star League]] intervention in the civil war to restore Gregory Amaris to power, the internal conflict within the First Dragoons led the [[SLDF]] to believe that the conquest of Kikuyu would be a relatively short and easy affair.<ref name="H:RWp154"/>

The SLDF assigned the [[16th Mechanized Infantry Division|Sixteenth Mechanized Infantry Division]] from [[VI Corps (Star League)|VI Corps]] to the attack on Kikuyu; the Sixteenth landed on Kikuyu in March 2584 to begin combat operations, only to discover that their presence united the disparate elements of the First Dragoons by providing them with a common cause. Aided by irregulars raised from the civilian population, the heavily outnumbered First Dragoons turned the battle for Kikuyu into an extended campaign that didn't end until January [[2585]], almost a year after the initial landings. Casualties were high on both sides; the Rim Worlds losses amounted to thirty thousand people in total, two-thirds of whom were people who had joined the irregular formations that rose up after the SLDF landing. The Sixteenth had suffered two and a half thousand fatalities and another five and a half thousand injuries before the weary division finally secured the planet.<ref name="H:RWp134">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134, "Helbrent to Nightwish (July 2582 - November 2584)"</ref>
