| A clear choice to spearhead this attack into Marik space was the St Ives lancers. They are backed by the St ives Sentinals. Specificaly Aleisha's Mounted Fusiliers. At first the Fusiliers where concerned with their lack of numbers, but Sun-Tzu seeing a golden oppertunity reenforced them with a battalion of a St Ives unit called the Rangers. Aleisha picked this unit from all the mercenary groups to join the St Ives Sentinals. Their name is now Darby's Rangers due to the traditions of the unit. Seeing the condition and age of their equipment Aleisha suspected some of Sun-Tzu's plan, but decided to proceed for her honor and for the Memory of the compact. |
| Reenforced Feburary 12, 3064 In The Feilds Between Jamesumachi and Aleisha's City The battle began as a mistake. This was going to be a very costly mistake for both sides. The emperor pilot Diasuke was to not engage the enemy, but he didn't obey. Instead he attacked head on. This young commander's inexperiance cost the Confederation an emperor and a von luckner tank. Fortunatly for him it cost the Kuritans more. That is the only reason he is still able to drive mechs. This was a small victory for the capellans trying to ligitmize their claim for this planet. Some of the warriors are saying that that claim has been written in blood. After this battle it will be hard to find anyone to disagree.

| Conquista Just outside of Aleisha's City Febuary 18 3064 While on patrol Lt Ulysses caught another patrol of Draconis Troops patroling. This caused a small engagement. Both Sides took up positions in the woods. The capellan troops charged with a Vulcan, Battle Hawk and an Axeman. The Axeman cut down one Draconis mech and that helped change the tide of Battle for the Capellans. This has really strengthened the lines. We are here to fight. |
