'''Kazanka''' was a world on the border between the Outworlds Alliance and the Draconis Combine when [[Operation UNION HOLD]] began in [[2581]]. With the intention for forcibly incorporating the Outworlds Alliance into the [[Star League]] following the mass rejection of the [[Pollux Proclamation]] in [[2575]] by the major [[Periphery]] states, the invasion of the Outworlds Alliance saw two corps of [[Star League Defense Force]] troops and a mixed brigade of [[DCMS]] forces begin systematically occupying Alliance worlds. Kazanka escaped the attentions of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force until September [[2582]].<ref name="H:RWp121+"/>

Outraged by the manner in which the [[Federated Suns]] managed to annex a number of Outworlds Alliance worlds in defiance of the plans of [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]], commanding officer of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force, [[Coordinator]] [[Hehiro Kurita]] responded to what he perceived as an affront to his honor by recalling the various regiments of the Galedon Regulars due to act in support of Forlough's planned strike on [[Ki Zoban]] and instead instructed ''[[Sho-sho]]'' [[Masao Igushi]] to target worlds along the Combine/Alliance border. The Coordinator also removed all of the matériel the Combine had supplied to the task force equipment caches to support the Galedon regiments, disrupting or preventing months of planned [[SLDF]] combat operations. While Forlough raged over Kurita's actions, ''Sho-sho'' Igushi deployed three regiments of Galedon Regulars against the worlds of Kazanka, [[Nexus Ri]] and [[Zlatousi]].<ref name="H:RWp121+"/>

When the [[19th Galedon Regulars|Nineteenth Galedon Regulars]] faced the Alliance forces on Kazanka, they found that the Alliance defenses were stronger and deeper than originally anticipated. The Nineteenth had the support of paired regiments of [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] and [[infantry]], and all of the [['Mech|'Mechs]] on Kazanka belonged to the Nineteenth, with the exception of a handful of old, light Alliance 'Mechs. The mass executions on [[Medron]], [[Valentina]] and other occupied worlds by both Combine and Star League forces had increased militia recruitment tenfold; while the Alliance [[1st Armored Division|First Armored Division]] was already in place on Kazanka, it was backed up by a local militia which provided both armor and heavy infantry support. While the militia units lacked experience, they had been trained well by advisors from the [[AFFS]] provided by the [[Federated Suns]] under the [[Tancredi Accord]], and had superior numbers on their side.<ref name="H:RWp121+"/>
