====Fourth Succession War====
In August [[3028]], Aldebaran was one of the first Capellan Confederation worlds to be targeted as a part of [[Fourth Succession War|Operation RAT]], the Federated Suns' [[Fourth Succession War]] offensive against the Confederation. Defending Aldebaran at the time were the two battalions of elite warriors that made up [[Warrior House Ijori]] and sixteen assorted regiments of armor and infantry. The AFFS anticipated a difficult [[Battle of Aldebaran (3028)|battle for Aldebaran]], and assigned the combined forces of the [[4th Deneb Light Cavalry|Fourth Deneb Light Cavalry RCT]], the [[4th Davion Guards|Fourth Davion Guards RCT]] and [[Redfield's Renegades]] to conquering the planet.<ref name="4SWMAV1p15"/>

The original plan for attacking Aldebaran called for both [[AFFS]] Regimental Combat Teams to land on the northern continent and grind House Ijori down, but updated intelligence led them to change this plan; upon learning that House Ijori had assigned one battalion to the northern continent and the second to the southern continent of Aldebaran, the commander of the Fourth Guards, [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] [[Eugine Drivers]], decided to split his forces as well. The Fourth Deneb Light Cavalry landed on the southern continent, while the fourth Guards landed in the north. The defending [[CCAF]] troops attempted to contest the landing, with aerospace fighters meeting the invaders as the two separate [[DropShip]] fleets entered Aldebaran's atmosphere; despite putting up a fierce resistance, the only significant casualty inflicted on the AFFS forces during the combat drop was when a disabled ''[[Thrush]]'' crashed into one of the Deneb Light Cavalry's ''[[Leopard]]'' DropShips.<ref name="4SWMAV1p15"/>
