[[Duke of New Syrtis|Duke]] [[George Hasek II|George Hasek]] of the [[Capellan March]] maintained a façade of neutrality during the early years of the FedCom Civil War, motivated primarily as he was by acting in the best interest of the Capellan March above all else, while covertly acting against [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]] [[Katherine Steiner]], who he had come to view as a despot during her time on the throne. When Duke Hasek's refusal to support either the Archon or Victor Steiner-Davion became public, Archon Steiner responded by ordering an attack on [[New Syrtis]].<ref name="FCCWp141">''FedCom Civil War'', p. 141: "New Syrtis"</ref>

The Loyalist forces dispatched to attack New Syrtis were escorted by the FCS ''Hanse Davion'' and consisted of the [[Eleventh Avalon Hussars]], [[Fourth Donegal Guards]] and the [[Ridgebrook CMM]]. The Loyalists hoped to persuade the [[Vanguard Legion]] mercenary unit to defect to their cause, giving them a numerical edge over the defending [[Eighth Syrtis Fusiliers]], [[Davion Light Guards]], and [[New Syrtis CMM]]; arriving on 27 October [[3065]], the Loyalist attempt to suborn the Vanguard Legion was robustly rejected, and the FCS ''Hanse Davion'' was soon locked in combat with the ''[[Covenant (WarShip class)|Covenant]]''-class cruiser [[Covenant (Individual Covenant-class WarShip)|FCS ''Covenant'']]. The resulting battle saw both WarShips destroyed.<ref name="FCCWp141"/>
