Ki Zoban was a core world within the Outworlds Alliance when [[Operation UNION HOLD]] began in [[2581]]. With the intention of 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. Ki Zoban escaped the attentions of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force until January [[2583]].<ref name="H:RWp123"/>

Ki Zoban was an unremarkable world when the Star League forces arrived; although elements of the Alliance [[Fourth Armored Division]] had been present on Ki Zoban in [[2581]] and early [[2583]], the planetary militia was the weakest of any Alliance core world and the planet itself was valuable only as a strategic asset, due to it's close proximity to the Alliance capital of [[Alpheratz]]. The commander of the Star League [[V Corps (Star League)|V Corps]] tasked the [[Fortieth Brigade]] of the [[14th Division (Star League)|Fourteenth Division]] to conquer Ki Zoban; the Fortieth Brigade landed on the 30th of January to find the militia defending the planetary capital, Mikanda, and rolled over them in just four hours. Within 5 days all of the militia were dead or in captivity, and by the end of February the Fortieth Brigade was back up to 95% combat strength.<ref name="H:RWp123"/>

The entire of V Corps began massing on Ki Zoban from February onward, with the exception of the remnants of the [[Thirty-seventh Royal Brigade]], which were still rebuilding on [[Bryceland]]. The commander of the Star League campaign against the Alliance, [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]], began an advance on the key Alliance world of [[Cerberus (system)|Cerberus]] in early [[2583]] using forces from [[II Corps (Star League)|II Corps]], and Forlough ordered the V Corps Commander, [[Major General]] [[Victoria Zibler]], to begin a campaign against other Alliance worlds. Although the V Corps campaign would be more limited due to a lack of transport assets compared to II Corps, V Corps began an eight month seek-and-destroy campaign targeting the industry and civilian population of worlds the Star League had yet to occupy. Zibler would dispatch forces from Ki Zoban to attack [[Lushann]] in March, followed by [[Dindatari]] and [[Morthac]] in April and May. The last major formation to leave Ki Zoban was the Fortieth Brigade, who deployed to [[Tellman IV]] in July [[2583]].<ref name="H:RWp140+"/><ref name="H:RWp124">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 124: "Baby Killers Unleashed"</ref>

Ki Zoban would be garrisoned by Star League forces until the end of the war in [[2585]]; after peace was declared on 1 August [[2585]] with the enactment of the [[Treaty of Cerberus]] Ki Zoban returned to Outworlds Alliance control, and would remain an Outworlds Alliance world throughout the Star League era.<ref name="H:RWp126">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 126: "Year Five: Peace In Our Time"</ref>
