'''Operation HOMECOMING''' was a multinational military operation conducted in Free Worlds League space and led by the [[Oriente Protectorate]].  The campaign was designed to help unite the militaries of various coalition allies to cement the founding of a newly unified [[Free Worlds League]].  The plan was to have each state contribute a military formation (regiment, militias, etc.) in the effort to take three key worlds to finalize the reunification.  The military commander of the force was [[Thaddeus Marik (32nd c.)|Thaddeus Marik]], [[Warden-General]] of the [[Covenant Worlds]].

Unknown to League forces, Regulan [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Lester Cameron-Jones]] had placed his forces, weeks advance waiting for Oriente and its allies to attack Atreus.  Captain-General led a fleet consisting of three [[Star Lord (JumpShip class)|''Star Lord'']]-class JumpShips, packed with his [[5th Regulan Hussars|Fifth Regulan Hussars]].  On the 24th of April, his fleet jumped into the system, however the fleet was forced to withdraw, when confronted by the Clan Sea Fox [[WarShip]], ''[[Voidswimmer]]''.  By preventing the Regulan fleet from reinforcing the landed troops to the new League, the Clan Protectorate expedition successfully participated in the liberation of Atreus.
