Firgrove had become the center of the replenishment system in the near Capellan March. Recent Capellan aggression and the still-turbulent fighting in and around the Pleiades worlds has kept normal Department of the Quartermaster operations stymied. Small units representing the [[Syrtis Fusiliers]] and the [[Avalon Hussars]] were known to be on-world, and small detachments from several mercenary commands, including the [[Illician Lancers]] and the [[Lexington Combat Group]] were thought to be in en route. The fate of any of these units is unknown, but presumed lost. A Blakist [[Level III]] landed in force and breached the defensive perimeter before targeting the stored materiel and munitions. Initial reports indicate that they ignored the [[AFFS]] defenses until after they had destroyed the materiel in question, although no Blakist units were recovered during the salvage operations.
