In September [[2677]], the Ninth was deployed as part of the third wave of invasions into the [[Erdvynn Province]] of the Republic, tasked with capturing Circinus. During the years in which the SLDF had maintained a presence in the Rim Worlds Republic until the withdrawal of the [[Tenth Army Group (Star League)|Tenth Army Group]] the SLDF had built and maintained twenty fortress complexes within the Republic. One of these bases, Camp Amber, was located on Circinus; the base anchored the Republic's rimward defenses and it was considered a threat to SLDF operations. The Ninth initially concentrated on securing industrial sites and civilian population centers, but found themselves being stung by hit-and-fade attacks from an enemy [[BattleMech]] force. The attackers were identified as the [[Twenty-third Amaris Chasseurs]], and the SLDF was able to track the Chasseurs back to their base of operations... Camp Amber. This was a little embarrassing for the SLDF, as Camp Amber—buried under the northern Ezo Desert—had been believed to be abandoned, and therefore hadn't been a priority.<ref name="H:LoTV1p106">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 106: "Camp Amber"</ref>
