Andurien Secession
During the Andurien Secession crisis, the First Fusiliers attacked Shiro III with the Atrean Hussars and 1st Marik Militia. There they faced off against the 1st Defenders of Andurien and the 5th Defenders of Andurien.[2] The Fusiliers performed a series of raids against the First Defenders. This increased the pressure until the First Defenders' Alpha Battalion struck at the First Fusilier's positions. The strike forced the Fusiliers out of position long enough to allow the Defenders' conventional forces to escape. The First Fusiliers would destroy a company of Andurien 'Mechs, but most of them escaped as well.[3]
Shortly after the fight on Shiro III ended, the First Fusiliers were ordered to Xanthe III. There they reinforced the 10th Marik Militia and the 15th Marik Militia. Their arrival allowed the 15th to withdraw from the fighting and stiffened the 10th's lines. Unfortunately their presence wasn't enough to drive the 3rd Defenders of Andurien and 5th Defenders of Andurien off-world. Reinforcements arrived for the FWLM forces, however, and the Andurien loyalists were driven offworld.[4]
After spending six months rebuilding, the First Fusiliers of Oriente assembled as part of the FWLM task force that invaded Andurien.[5] The First Fusiliers, 1st Regulan Hussars, and Atrean Dragoons besieged the 3rd Defenders of Andurien in their base. After failing to drive them out quickly, the First Fusiliers and the other units performed a building by building clearance operation that drove the 3rd Defenders out of the city after three weeks.[6] Shortly after this the First Fusiliers slipped past the lines of the 5th Defenders of Andurien and struck them from behind. This unexpected attack caused the 5th Defenders to splinter into lance-sized units that were easily destroyed by the First Fusiliers and other Federal forces. The Fusiliers then went on to capture Humphreys Palace.[7]
