These two brigades - the [[14th Brigade]] and 15th Brigade - were commanded directly by the CO of the 5th Division, [[Major General]] [[Angelo Rucker]] and landed on Tancredi IV in January [[2582]]. Tancredi IV had no standing defense force, and both the [[SLDF]] landings and subsequent search of the planet were effectively unopposed. Despite the quietly agrarian appearance of Tancredi IV, Rucker was determined to conduct a systematic search of the planet, and after a month was close to giving up on discovering any evidence contradicting the apparently minor value of the world when three military [[DropShip|DropShips]] lifted off from a remote region. Despite a hastily formed [[SLDF]] blockade, the three DropShips ran the blockade using three squadrons of heavy [[aerospace fighter|fighters]] as cover, before vanishing from the system via a rendezvous with a [[JumpShip]] at a local pirate point. When recon flights finally found the launch site of the three DropShips, they discovered evidence indicating that dozens of DropShips had probably used the site as a transfer point for military equipment of all sorts, including [['Mech|'Mechs]] and armor, but no threat of violence or interrogation used against the inhabitants of Tancredi IV ever turned up conclusive evidence of who had been operating covertly from the world.<ref name="H:RWp119">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 119: "Tancredi IV"</ref> + Having regrouped after the initial wave of the invasion into the Alliance, the commander of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force, [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]], responded to intelligence suggesting that [[Tancredi IV]] was somehow vital to the Alliance defense efforts by deploying two brigades to annex the world and investigate the rumors.
