History
Colonel Hokala, serving under Major General Paula Winters, was executive officer of the Federated Suns' Broken Wheel Combat Region in 3025. Simultaneously, Hokala was commanding officer of the Screaming Eagles mercenary brigade and was stationed on Skepptana.[1]
During Operation Rat's first wave, Hokala and the Screaming Eagles were tasked with capturing the Capellan world of Pleione from the Third Battalion of McCrimmon's Light Cavalry. While the cavalrymen had occupied a dilapidated Star League Defense Force facility named Thunder Rock, most of the defenders were caught in the open and destroyed by Hokala's aerospace assets. Those troops who managed to make it into Thunder Rock endured a three-week long siege before the Screaming Eagles penetrated their defenses and destroyed half of the survivors in the ensuing fighting, with the remaining Light Cavalry company choosing to surrender soon after. Hokala left two of his own battalions behind on Pleione while the rest of the Screaming Eagles parted for the fighting on Gan Singh, although the entire brigade would be reunited in time for the later battle of New Canton.[2]
