Free Worlds League Military
FWLM First Wave
FWLM Second Wave
With more time to prepare, the FedCom defenders did marginally better at defending their systems from the Free Worlds League forces that attacked, though they lost Devil's Rock, Oliver, Castor, Pollux, and Zosma. Unlike the first wave, the FWLM didn't always use overwhelming force when taking these systems, allowing the FedCom defenders to give a better performance.
Capellan Confederation Armed Forces

As a result of the joint invasion, the CCAF captured nineteen planets in their first attempt and started rebellions on fifty planets.[1]

Sirian Holds
Procyon
- Attackers: Civilians

- Defenders: Arboris SMM
- Outcome: As the Grenadiers began to harass civilians, a resistance movement was born. As a result, the Farmers Freedom Army forged an alliance with the Arboris SMM.

The Stealthy Tigers and Always Faithful mercenary groups also landed and shifted the tide in Liao's favor. No single faction ended up with complete control of the planet.
Carver V

- Defenders:
- Outcome: The 2nd FedCom RCT was defeated by the First and Second Regiments of McCarron's Armored Cavalry. The surviving unit was later destroyed on Elgin by the Swann's Cavaliers. After the fighting, three realms were established and the balance of power was stabilized.

- Defenders:

- Attackers:
