The 889th spearheaded an attack against the Amaris-held planet of [[Epsilon Eridani]]. Their mission was to rescue trapped Star League troops hiding out in the mountains of the southern continent. The stranded troops were in reality a trap set by Amaris loyalists and the 889th was destroyed as they attempted the rescue. A few captives, including [[Carl Icaza]], were prisoners for nearly a decade until freed by SLDF forces led by their parent command, the Golden Talon. Some survivors of the [[Hegemony Campaign]] followed General [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] on the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]] in [[2784]], Icaza among them.<ref name=SL140/><ref name=JFsb12-13>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', pp. 12–13</ref>
