On 2 June [[2828]], the [[Chesterton Cuirassiers]] landed on Kathil as a part of [[Operation CELT]], a [[CCAF]] offensive intended to recapture Chesterton. The Cuirassiers were led by [[Colonel]] [[Laurelli Liao]], the future Capellan [[Chancellor]] and a canny field commander who had been trained from a young age in warfare. Stationed on Kathil at the time were the [[Twenty-seventh Avalon Hussars]] and the Kathil Capellan March Militia. The defenders outweighed the Cuirassiers, but Laurelli kept them off-balance by launching feints at both the General Motors factories and District City, which made it essential that the militia and the Twenty-seventh couldn't risk relocating to better positions. The conflict turned into an intricate, deadly dance that only ended when the Cuirassiers were ordered to withdraw on the 24th of June, following the news of the death of Chancellor [[Ilsa Liao]]. It was a testament to Laurelli's skills that the bulk of the damage taken by the Cuirassiers during the three weeks of battle was sustained not during her campaigning, but rather during the hasty withdrawal from Kathil.<ref name="SSWp23">''Second Succession War'', p. 23: "The Suns-Confederation Front"</ref>
