When the Amaris government collapsed, the [[Star League Defense Force]] detachment at [[Apollo (system)#Planetary Locations|Camp Cameron]], previously on good terms with the local population, was suddenly isolated and surrounded by the hostile forces of the Rift Republican Army. [[Colonel]] Dormax commanded the besiegers in what turned out to be a three-year waiting game until RRA commandos crippled the sensor net and assassinated the garrison commander, [[Major]] [[Bruce Langmuir]]. Blind and leaderless, the new RRA assault in April [[2578]] overran the cadre, killing all but nine SLDF [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] in the battle. Dormax declared them prisoners of war but extremists in the RRA militia executed the survivors before they could be taken into custody.<ref name=H:RWp130>''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 130–131: "The Spark"</ref>
