Line 86: Alnasl was among the first worlds invaded in the [[War of 3039]], attacked during the First Wave by the [[First Argyle Lancers]] and the [[Twenty-sixth Lyran Guards]] under the command of [[General]] [[Woodruff Patterson]]. The world was important for its mineral wealth and its location along the main communication route from [[Buckminster]], although it was only defended by the [[Alnasi Militia]]. While he was dismissive of the Militia's ability to halt his attack, General Patterson had no intention of underestimating them and so planned a lightning campaign to defeat the garrison forces quickly. On the 15th of April the two [[LCAF]] units made their jump into the system using a [[pirate jump point]], cutting the normal seventeen-day travel time to just two and allowing for a quick landing on the surface of the planet. Caught off guard by the attack, orbital military and industrial facilities quickly surrendered after perfunctory resistance and the Militia could do little as pathfinders from the Twenty-sixth secured the airport at Viro to serve as a landing zone and base of operations. Rather than waste his unit throwing themselves against overwhelming numbers, the DCMS 'Mech company commander ''[[Tai-i]]'' [[Stephen Dauphin]] ordered his unit to go to ground and conduct guerrilla warfare against the invaders while the rest of the Militia sought to protect the capital Gantarius. While this slowed down the offensive, by the 25th of April the encirclement of the capital was complete and most Militia forces agreed to surrender.<ref name=HWo39p28/> Alnasl was among the first worlds invaded in the [[War of 3039]], attacked during the First Wave by the [[First Argyle Lancers]] and the [[Twenty-sixth Lyran Guards]] under the command of [[General]] [[Woodruff Patterson]].
