Actions during Operation Scatter
As part of Victor Steiner-Davion's plan to overload LAAF ability to respond, the 23rd Arcturans were assigned to Operation Scatter's planned raids from allied controlled Arc-Royal Defense Cordon. The RCT struck three lightly defended worlds; Aristotle, Gallery, and Thuban with lightning swift raids.
While on Gallery, they struck a nerve with the House Steiner's General of the Armies and acting regent of Lyran Alliance, Nondi Steiner. They struck her estate on Gallery directly, which prompted her, unknown to them, to have 11th Arcturan Guards to "neutralize" them.
On Thuban, the unit had finished its operations and begun to move out when the 11th Arcturan hit one of their combined arms battalions left behind for repairs. The battalions in midst of repairs were destroyed, and setup final confrontation between it sister unit, which turn in to a bloody affair on slopes of Scorpiuus Mons it and its sister unit inflicted considerable amount damage on one another.[1]
