The green Twenty-first Regulars had split their forces into two parts approximately two kilometers apart, hoping that the Ghost Bears would do the same and allow the defenders to slowly close the two halves together, thereby destroying the Clan forces with their combined strength. In response [[Star Colonel]] [[Stephan Huntsig]] massed his entire unit against one half and, as hoped, watched it crack and retreat towards the other half with his forces close behind. Not knowing who was charging over the hill towards them, the other half of the Twenty-first opened fire at the pack of 'Mechs, hitting both friendlies and enemies, and the Ghost Bears charged forwards to engage both forces, causing the Twenty-first to surrender.<ref name=IC36>''Invading Clans'', p. 36</ref>+ Actually managed to enter the suburbs of Luk. − ====Tukayyid==== − The unit fought the [[308th Division (ComStar)|308th]] [[Com Guards|Com Guard Division]] on the advance to Spanac and actually managed to enter the suburbs of Luk. === First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War === === First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War === − The [[1st Combine-Dominion War|First Draconis Combine–Ghost Bear War]] erupted following an attack on [[Alshain]] by rogue elements of the [[Alshain Avengers]] [[brigade]] of the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] in [[3062]],<ref name="FM:Up60">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 60: "Overview"</ref> and while the Ghost Bears and [[Draconis Combine]] were fighting [[Clan Hell's Horses]] launched an [[Clan Hell's Horses#The Invasion|opportunistic invasion]] of the Ghost Bear Occupation Zone<ref name="FM:Up60A"/> in [[3063]].<ref name="FM:Up13">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 13: "Dragons, Dark and Dangerous"</ref> + The [[1st Combine-Dominion War|First Draconis Combine / Ghost Bear War]] erupted following an attack on [[Alshain]] by rogue elements of the [[Alshain Avengers]] [[brigade]] of the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] in [[3062]],<ref name="FM:Up60">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 60, "Overview"</ref> and while the Ghost Bears and [[Draconis Combine]] were fighting [[Clan Hell's Horses]] launched an [[Clan_Hell%27s_Horses#The_Invasion|opportunistic invasion]] of the Ghost Bear Occupation Zone.<ref name="FM:Up60A"/> in [[3063]].<ref name="FM:Up13">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 13, "Dragons, Dark and Dangerous"</ref> − The Hell's Horses were acting at the urging of the [[Khan]] of [[Clan Wolf]], [[Vladimir Ward]],<ref name="FM:Up60"/> and the Ghost Bears responded with their own counterattack; a number of worlds were targeted in particular, one of which was the world of [[Rasalhague]], a world of particular significant to the native population of the former Free Rasalhague Republic.
