===Formation===
Finding both the [[First Capellan Defense Force|First]] and [[Second Capellan Defense Force]] at peak strength in [[3079]] with an abundance of extra equipment on [[Capella]], the [[Strategios]] decided to vastly expand the brigade by adding three new regiments. The '''Sixth Capellan Defense Force''' was composed of frustrated personnel from both CDF regiments, raw recruits and Home Guard veterans. The unit was assembled quickly in [[3081]].<ref name="FM:3085p29"/>

===Jihad===
-[[3084]] - Recognizing the untenable situation brought about by [[Operation VINDOLANDA]], ''Sang-jiang-jun'' [[Talon Zahn]] began to gather a task force on [[Liao]] to counterattack. Three [[Stone's Brigade]] regiments and nearly half of the [[Hastati Sentinels]] attacked before preparations were complete. Fighting alongside the [[Red Lancers]] and the few remaining reserves the [[CCAF]] had left, the 6th Capellan Defense Force was completely destroyed. The planet fell with the survivors retreating back to Confederation space.<ref name="FM:3085p29"/>
