As part of [[Case Juliet]], the [[Federated Commonwealth]]'s retaliatory attack for [[McCarron's Armored Cavalry]]'s raids during the [[War of 3039]], the Second FedCom attacked the important [[Capellan Confederation]] manufacturing world of [[Ares (system)|Ares]] in August [[3039]] and quickly overwhelmed and destroyed the defending [[Fifteenth Dracon|Fifteenth Dracon's]] First Battalion. The other Dracon battalions landed on the planet eighteen days after to avenge the loss of the first, but could not dislodge the Second FedCom until the [[Kingston's Legionnaires]] landed two weeks later. Having comprehensively crippled the [[Bergan Industries]], [[Quikscell Company]] and [[Earthwerks Limited]] factories in repayment for the Big Mac's raids, the Second withdrew back to FedCom space.<ref name=HWo39>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 128: "Countering the Big Mac - Ares"</ref>
