==== Kossandra's Memory ====
The outback world of [[Kossandra's Memory]] had been settled shortly before the outbreak of the war as a redoubt for the MAF and as a base of operations for use after the fall of Canopus IV. The MAF managed to keep the existence of Kossandra's Memory secret for much of the war, and it was the world that the Second Light Horse and Buquoy's Bandits operated from after the fall of Wildwood. When [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Marion Marik]] finally invaded Kossandra's Memory in [[2588]] the Second and the Bandits were the only surviving major MAF units and were both on the world. Numbering just a few mismatched battalions, the MAF units still contested the landing, under the command of [[Colonel]] [[Adam Buquoy]] himself; Marik landed the Sixty-second Royal Brigade on Kossandra's Memory, along with the First Marik Militia and the Third Regulan Hussars, in what would be the final campaign of the war against the Magistracy.<ref name="H:RWp105"/><ref name="H:RWp149">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 149: "Magistracy of Canopus Front (2583-2588)"</ref>

Marik led three regiments personally in the battle against Buquoy's Forces; Buquoy tried to trick Marik into making rash attacks that he could capitalize on, but Marik kept her cool and used her superior numbers to grind the Canopian forces down. With the last of the Magistracy forces finally defeated after eleven years of campaigning, the war between the Magistracy and the Star League finally ended when Marik accepted Buquoy's surrender with a firm handshake. The Second Canopian Light Horse had fought for the entire war, the only regular MAF unit to operate for as long, and had faced the First Marik Militia in both their first and last major engagements of the war.<ref name="H:RWp105"/>
