From 2841 to 2848, the Lyran [[Fourth Royal Guards]], led by Colonel Hinders, defended the world against multiple [[DCMS]] regiments, including the Combine [[4th Sword of Light|Fourth Sword of Light]], the [[6th Rasalhague Regulars|Sixth Rasalhague Regulars]] and the [[7th Rasalhague Regulars|Seventh Rasalhague Regulars]]. Deprived of reinforcements and resources, the Fourth Royal Guards campaign went from open resistance to a guerrilla war. Against any other Combine commander, the losses they inflicted would have driven would have driven the invaders off world. However, the invading Combine force was led by [[Hugai Kurita]], the [[Coordinator]]'s eldest son. So the Combine forced held on to take the world from the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] after a protracted and devastating campaign.<ref name=2SWp56f>''Second Succession War'', pp. 56–57: "Hinder's War: New Caledonia 2841-2848"</ref> |

Despite the heavier than anticipated aerospace presence, the [[Tenth Donegal Guards]] [[RCT]] and the [[Thirtieth Lyran Guards]] RCT arrived in the New Caledonia system on the 22nd of August 3028, achieving total surprise over the defending forces. The Thirtieth dropped north of Redfev, the planetary capital city and major industrial center, while the Tenth dropped to the south of the city. The Second An Ting Legion managed to withdraw from New Caledonia, but the two Lyran RCTs inflicting enough damage on the Legion that more than a fifth of its equipment had been lost before the Legion escaped.<ref name="NAIS4SWp50">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 50: "Other Early Action"</ref> |

This earned the Oberon Confederation the ire of the Free Rasalhague Republic. When a [[DropShip]] from the Oberon Confederation–the ''[[FireStalion]]''–escaped the [[Clan]] onslaught to New Caledonia in late 3049, the JumpShip was boarded and the crew of the ships executed for piracy.{{ApocryphalContentEnd}} |
