Overview

During the Fourth Succession War, Kawach was one of the sites of Operation AMBUSH, where the AFFS lured several CCAF units to an early grave.

On Kawich, elements of the Eridani Light Horse, 1st Davion Guards RCT, and 3rd Crucis Lancers RCT captured or destroyed elements from Warrior House Hiritsu, the 3rd Confederation Reserve Cavalry, Trimaldi's Secutors, and Laurel's Legion. Fifty years later, people on Kawich refer to the remains of the destroyed 'Mechs and tanks as "Liao's Metal Tombstones".
