===Battle of Hesperus===
 
===Battle of Hesperus===
By September/October [[3144]] the Light Horse, then one regiment strong and led by Eichler, was contracted, along with other mercenary units, by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] to protect its valuable factories on [[Hesperus II]] against the upcoming attack between Clan Hell's Horses and Clan Jade Falcon, the [[Battle of Hesperus II (3145)|Battle of Hesperus II]]. When both Clan forces appeared in [[3145]], the lyrans moved to defend the planet along with a mix of forces: other mercenaries, the local militia, and a company from the [[Third Royal Guards]]. The planetary militia and Royal Guards abandoned the world after putting up just a token resistance, leaving the mercenaries to face the full brunt of the attack. When the Light Horse and the other mercenaries moved to Defiance Industries to take shelter there, they were refused entry. The band of mercenary units then attempted to surrender to [[Clan Jade Falcon]], but were cut down. Without alternative, the Light Horse troops made for Maria's Elegy, trying to reach their [[DropShip]]s, but were foiled by the [[Raptor Keshik]]. A few surviving Light Horse warriors escaped into the mountains, only to be hunted down to the last soldier by the Falcons. To the best of the [[Republic of the Sphere|Republic of the Sphere's]] knowledge, none survived.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', pp. 28–29: "Archon's Trial"</ref>

Eichler's death was confirmed later by the Commonwealth authorities, but they keep it quiet for political reasons, probably to hide the Lyrans' shameful abandonment of the Eridanis.<ref name=SaS>''Strong as Steel''</ref>
