−	In the 3140s, an unknown supplier upset the balance of power in the Barrens by providing the Oberon Confederation with [[BattleMech|BattleMechs]], enabling them to make gains at the Republic's expense<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 155, "Omega Galaxy"</ref>. Crellacor was overrun by Confederation forces in [[3144]]<ref name=TRp39>''Tamar Rising'', p. 39</ref>, with Gustrell falling in [[3147]]<ref name=TRp39/>. Clan Hell's Horses intervention was delayed by concerns on other fronts until December [[3150]]<ref name=TRp39/>, when the [[12th Rangers (Clan Hell's Horses)|12th Rangers Cluster]]<ref name=TRp40/> were dispatched to assist the Republic. Crellacor and Gustrell were promptly recaptured<ref name=TRp40/>.
