History
Reunification War
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 Fourth Amaris Fusiliers had managed to strike the Lyran Commonwealth interior world of Alarion.[1]
The result was the reorganisation of the SLDF forces and their auxiliaries into three battlegroups, each responsible for the pacification of one of the three provinces that made up the Rim Worlds Republic.[2] Helbrent and the Sixth Legionnaires were the first targets of the battlegroup assigned to pacifying the Timbuktu Province, and the SLDF deployed IV Corps - which actually consisted of little more than the Sixteenth Royal Division at the time - to the battle for Helbrent.[3]
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.[2]
