By [[2582]] the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] had been in a state of civil war for six years. By this point the '''Sixth Amaris Legionnaires''' were based on [[Helbrent]] and were one of the [[Rim Worlds Army]] units that had remained loyal to [[Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]]. The [[Star League Defense Force]] had initiated [[Operation MAILED FIST]], the [[Star League]] intervention to restore Amaris to power, in mid-[[2581]], but the [[SLDF]] plans had been forced to change after a deep raid by the [[4th Amaris Fusiliers|Fourth Amaris Fusiliers]] had managed to strike the Lyran Commonwealth interior world of [[Alarion]].<ref name="H:RWp132+">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132-133, "Alarion (December 2581)"</ref>

Combat operations began in July 2582, and proceeded far more quickly than the Sixteenth had planned for, thanks to the Sixth Legionnaires choosing to deploy their heavy armor to contest the Sixteenth's landing, a poor decision that led to the Sixteenth quickly defeating the bulk of the Sixth. By the end of the third day after landing the Sixteenth had notionally secured Helbrent, but the Royal Division found itself faced with another problem; the Sixteenth's infantry forces were six weeks away from deploying, making keeping control of Helbrent difficult until there were enough boots on the ground to exercise effectively control of the captured territory.<ref name="H:RWp133">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 133, "Helbrent to Nightwish (July 2582 - November 2584)"</ref>

The Fourth Amaris Legionnaires were a regular line regiment of the Rim Worlds Army.

History[edit]

Reunification War[edit]

The Fourth Amaris Legionnaires were stationed on the Apollo Province world of Gwynedd during the Rim Worlds Republic civil war. In 2575, a local baron named Daffyd Ap Brendan used the chaos of the civil war's beginnings to have the senior officers of the Fourth Legionnaires assassinated and replaced with officers loyal to himself.[1] This included installing Colonel Samuel Baraou as the new commanding officer of the regiment.[2]

First Consul Gregory Amaris had appealed to the Star League for support when the Rift Republican Army subverted half of the military forces on Apollo and formed a new government, the Rim Provisional Government. The Star League eventually decided to intervene on his behalf and assembled Task Force MAILED FIST, a multinational force headed by the Star League Defense Force, but atrocities such as the one performed by the Draconis Auxiliary Corps when they captured Nightwish in mid-2584 resulted in the Rim Worlders putting aside their differences to focus on the common enemy.[3]

In April 2590, SLDF General Nathan Isaacson assigned a division from VI Corps, the Sixteenth Mechanized Infantry Division, to secure Gwynedd,[4] only to discover Daffyd Ap Brendan in control of both the planet and the Fourth Amaris Legionnaires and professing his loyalty to the Amaris family. However, despite Baron Ap Brendan's friendly welcome and unwillingness to fight the SLDF, the local population was actively rebellious; the arrival of the Sixteenth quickly caused fractures to appear amongst both civilians and the Fourth Legionnaires, followed shortly by open conflict. The net result was an eleven-month peacekeeping operation to try and separate the various warring camps and restore order.[1]

The Sixteenth remained in place on Gwynedd as a garrison until redeployed for the invasion of Steelton in 2595.[4]
