History[edit]
Tigna Zatka, on 3027, served on the Second SWord of Light regiment. On 1 March, he and three companies of the 2nd Sword launched an attack against the planet Pacifica, searching to destroy the mercenary unit Kell Hounds, to avenge the humiliation the mercenaries had inflicted to the regiment during the Battle of Mallory's World (3013). However, the kuritan commander delayed the assault after being informed of the imminent visit on planet of the Hauptmann-General Sarah Joss and the Federated Suns Colonel Ardan Sortek, expecting to score a larger victory.[2]
However, the First Battle of Pacifica, as the Hounds later called it, didn't went as the kuritans expected: the Hounds expected them, so the 2nd Sword fell into a carefully laid trap, suffering heavy losses even before leaving their landing zone. Tigna assisted to the debacle inside his Overlord (DropShip class), but when his men had suffered six losses, he get out onboard his 'Mech. Without attacking initially at the Hounds, stunned by the arrival of an assault 'Mech, Zatka slowly approached them, while he narrated them his impressive list of combats and victories, and finally defied any enemy to duel him. Ardan Sortek, piloting his Victor, accepted the offer. Both pilots fought a daring duel, which Sortek won, after causing massive damage to Tigna's 'Mech. The Awesome's reactor blowned, and Zatka barely managed to eject before his 'Mech was destroyed. Tigna's 'Mech destruction signaled the end of the battle: the surviving kuritans' moral was broken, so they boarded their DropShips, unmolested by the victorious Hounds, and departed from planet.[3]
