Tellman IV was an icy mining world<ref name="H:RWp124"/><ref name="TP1ep24">''The Periphery, First Edition'', p. 24</ref> within the Outworlds Alliance when [[Operation UNION HOLD]] began in [[2581]]. After the major [[Periphery]] states rejected the [[Pollux Proclamation]] in [[2575]], the [[Star League]] began planning for the forced incorporation of all of the Periphery nations into the Star League. Operation UNION HOLD was the name given to the invasion of the Outworlds Alliance, which saw two corps of [[Star League Defense Force]] troops and a mixed brigade of [[DCMS]] forces begin systematically occupying Alliance worlds. Tellman IV escaped the attentions of the Star League and Combine forces - collectively referred to as the Outworlds Alliance Task Force - until September [[2583]], when it became the site of one of the most important battles in the course of the five-year invasion of the Alliance.<ref name="H:RWp124"/>

In July of 2583, the Chairman of the [[Outworlds Alliance Militia]], [[Welkens Nordd]], had received a vital piece of intelligence; the operational timetable for the Star League forces.<ref name="H:RWp124"/> The commander of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force, [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]], had begun a campaign to weaken the will and ability of the Alliance population to fight by systematically targeting towns, cities and industrial sites on worlds across the Alliance. By the time Nordd received Forlough's timetable, the [[SLDF]] forces had already raided [[Dindatari]], [[Mitchella]], [[Morthac]], [[Quatre Belle]] and [[Quiberas]] since the beginning of 2583, and various other Alliance worlds including the important industrial world of [[Cerberus (system)|Cerberus]] were under Star League or [[Draconis Combine]] occupation or the subject of ongoing battles and guerrilla warfare.<ref name="H:RWp123">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 123: "Cerberus and the Baby Killers"</ref><ref name="H:RWp124+">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 124: "Baby Killers Unleashed" & "Battle for Lushann"</ref> Access to the operational timetable for the Outworlds Alliance Task Force gave Nordd a chance at stopping Forlough's rampage through the Alliance.<ref name="H:RWp124"/>

Nordd moved the Alliance [[4th Armored Division]] to [[Lushann]], which allowed him to extract the [[1st Pitcairn Legion]] and [[3rd Pitcairn Legion]] from the ongoing battle with [[V Corps (Star League)|V Corps]] forces there; they were joined by the [[2nd Pitcairn Legion]], which had raided the occupied worlds of [[Bad News]] and [[Budingen]], and dispatched to Tellman IV to ambush Forlough and the troops due to attack the icy world in September. To assist the assembled [[Pitcairn Legion]], Nordd dispatched the bulk of the troops held in reserve to defend [[Alpheratz]] itself, adding two [[regiment|regiments]] of infantry and the [[Santiago Carabiniers]] [[BattleMech]] regiment to [[Colonel]] [[Elias Pitcairn|Elais Pitcairn's]] forces. Whilst this left Alpheratz largely undefended, Forlough's campaign against the civilian population and infrastructure of the Alliance threatened to topple the Alliance and had to be checked.<ref name="H:RWp124"/><ref name="H:RWp141">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 141: "Outworlds Alliance Front"</ref>
