==History==
During [[Operation APOTHEOSIS]] the Thirty-eighth Amaris Fusiliers led the efforts to secure the [[Terran Hegemony]] world of [[Castor]] for the [[Amaris Empire]]. Over the next decade the Fusiliers worked to maintain control of Castor, using various strong-arm tactics to raise a strong Patriot contingent on the planet, whilst imprisoning government officials and other prominent citizens. Hundreds of thousands were imprisoned and their valuables confiscated, and tens of thousands of those imprisoned were never seen again during the Fusiliers' tenure on Castor.<ref name="H:LOT2p105">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', pp. 104–105: "Endgame - Run For Your Life"</ref>

In January [[2775]], Stefan Amaris redeployed large numbers of [[Amaris Empire Armed Forces]] to a dozen worlds such as Castor due to be abandoned to the advancing [[Star League Defense Force]] and supplied them with [[Weapons of Mass Destruction]] to use against both the SLDF forces and civilian targets to force [[Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|Commanding General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] to devote additional resources to preserve civilian populations on shattered wasteland worlds, buying a few brief months of delay in return for unimaginable human hardship before pulling back to defend [[Terra]].<ref name="H:LOT2p33">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 33: "Planets on Fire"</ref>

Having scorched Castor, the Thirty-eighth Fusiliers ignored the recall order to withdraw to Terra, instead abandoning Amaris and heading into the [[Free Worlds League]], landing on [[Ariel]], [[Jiddah]], and [[Cranston]] to take on food and supplies before they vanished—one of five assorted Republican regiments identified by historians as having escaped from the occupation of the Hegemony largely intact.
