The [[Star League]] eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in [[2579]] assembled [[Task Force MAILED FIST]] to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the [[Star League Defense Force]], Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing [[Operation MAILED FIST]], the name given to the military intervention. The first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]],<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132, "Case Apollo"</ref> until a destructive raid on [[Alarion]] by the [[4th Amaris Fusiliers]] in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing [[Rim Worlds Army]] concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.<ref name="H:RWp133">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 133, "Island Hopping (2582 - November 2590)"</ref>

In late [[2584]] the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities performed by the [[Draconis Auxiliary Corps]] when they captured [[Nightwish]] in mid-2584.<ref name="H:RWp134">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134, "Arlina to Viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref>
