In late [[2584]] the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities performed by the [[Draconis Auxiliary Corps]] when they captured [[Nightwish]] in mid-2584. [[Archon]] [[Viola Steiner-Dinesen]] of Battle Group Finmark assigned [[VIII Corps (Star League)|VIII Corps]] - an SLDF Corps comprised of two [[division]]s, the [[31st Armor Division|Thirty-First Armor Division]] and the [[32nd Division (Star League)|Thirty-Second Division]] -  to the conquest of Finmark in [[2586]];<ref name="H:RWp152">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 152, "Rim Worlds Republic Front (Jump-off - 2587)"</ref> the resulting campaign was actually something of a relief for the beleaguered SLDF, as it was one of the few stand-up fights to occur during Operation MAILED FIST, unmarked by the more extreme defensive measures many other planetary campaigns were marked by.<ref name="H:RWp134+">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134-135, "Arlina to Viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref>
