As the conflict escalated into all-out warfare between the Combine and the Clan, the 2nd Sword of Light was split into two and deployed to the worlds of [[Constance]] and [[Garstedt]]. Following the war, the Second's CO, ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Li Sak To]], grew more bitter over the level of support the DCMS provided the unit, which he blamed on [[Theodore Kurita]]'s reforms. This led him to overtly allow a greater Society influence to permeate throughout the unit, until a majority was solidly in favor of a top-level change within the Combine. ==Coup== In December 3067, the 1st Genyosha, 2nd Sword of Light, Otomo and Izanagi Warriors were the defending DCMS forces on Luthien. ''Tai-sa'' To accepted the orders from the [[Black Dragon Society]] and initiated a coup against the Imperial government on Luthien. Almost a battalion of Loyalist members of the 2nd Sword, plus support crews, mutinied against To, for what they took as his traitorous actions.<ref name=JTPL_6-7/> By the end of the last week of the year, the [[Voice of the Dragon]] compound had fallen to the ''[[Kokuryu-kai]]'' and on [[Battle for the Imperial Palace (3068)|New Year's Day]] [[3068]], so had the [[Imperial Palace]].<ref name=JTPL8>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 8, "Traitor's Kiss"</ref> ==Events== * January 1st, [[3068]]: The [[Battle for the Imperial Palace (3068)|Battle for the Imperial Palace]] took place.<ref name=JTPL8>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 8, "Traitor's Kiss"</ref> *In February 3068, the 1st Genyosha was reinforced by surviving elements of the [[Fourteenth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]], adding almost a battalion's worth of additional strength.<ref name=JTPL_6-7/> * July 18th, [[3069]]: The ''Kokuryu-kai'', Word of Blake and loyalists to House Kurita engage in the [[Battle of the LAW City Ruins]].<ref name=JTPL8-9>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', pp. 8-9, "Bullet In the Blue Sky"</ref> * August 23rd, [[3072]]: [[Clan Nova Cat]] and the Word of Blake engage in the [[Battle of the Kyoto Zen Arcology Project]].<ref name=JTPL9>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 9, "Feline Ferocity"</ref> * November 28th, [[3073]]: The Word of Blake engages the ''Kokuryu-kai'' in the [[Battle of the Takashi Memorial Spaceport]].<ref name=JTPL-10>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 10, "Tunnel Rats"</ref> * March 14th, [[3074]]: The Word of Blake tricks the ''Kokuryu-kai'' into softening up the Loyalist defenses in the [[Battle of Skytower City]].<ref name=JTPL-10/11>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', pp. 10-11, "Light Machine"</ref> * December 21st, 3074: [[Clan Ghost Bear]] arrives over Luthien and hot-drops [[Rho Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Rho Galaxy]] on top of the Word of Blake's [[32nd Division (Word of Blake)|32nd Division]] in the [[Second Battle of the Takashi Memorial Spaceport]].<ref name=JTPL-11>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 11, "Damnation"</ref> *By December 3074, the remaining strength of the 1st Genyosha was no more than two reinforced companies. ==Combatants== The campaign on Luthien was fought by several different factions seeking different, but sometimes parallel, goals.
