He then attempted to build better ties with ruling duke of Alarion, Anatoly Serfass.[3]

During the early years of the FedCom Civil War, Alarion APM has remained on station on Alarion with the Jaegers. However, this changed in late October of 3063 when leading element of the 11th Arcturan Guards lead by Lieutenant General Maria Esteban. Esteban notifies them of the pro-Victor Steiner-Davion forces were on their way here. Feeling that the Jaegers and green Alarion APM were not up for task with her to fend them off. She then orders Militia and the Jaegers to abandon their garrison duties and come with her force.
