	Despite [[ComStar]] placing the [[Federated Suns]] under a communications [[interdiction]] after the invasion of [[Sarna]] in mid-[[3029]], the Capellan Operations Command of the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] received enough positive reports from the fifth wave of [[Operation RAT]] to launch the sixth wave in the second week of August 3029. The decision to launch wave six was in part driven by contact from planetary governments in the unconquered region of the [[Sarna Commonality]], indicating that the perceived threat of being annexed by the [[Free Worlds League]] was prompting a groundswell of opinion among those governments that being absorbed by the Federated Suns was a preferable alternative to being conquered by [[House Marik]]. The countless raids and invasions by the [[Free Worlds League Military]] over the centuries had embedded an intense hatred of House Marik among the planetary populations within the region, and confidence in the Capellan Confederation's ability to defend them was falling.<ref name="4SWv2p51">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 51, "Sixth Wave"</ref>		Despite [[ComStar]] placing the [[Federated Suns]] under a communications [[interdiction]] after the invasion of [[Sarna]] in mid-[[3029]], the Capellan Operations Command of the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] received enough positive reports from the fifth wave of [[Operation RAT]] to launch the sixth wave in the second week of August 3029.

−	Heligoland was one of the targets of the sixth wave, with the invasion assigned to the [[Sixth Crucis Lancers]] [[Regimental Combat Team]]. Defending Heligoland at the time were [[Kingston's Legionnaires]], a medium-weight [['Mech]] regiment. Rather than assaulting the Lancers' drop zones, the Legionnaires assumed defensive positions in the hills around the planetary capital city, Helio. This presented [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] [[Orval Gossiage]] with a problem, as assaulting a strong enemy in a well-chosen defensive position was a recipe for casualties. When Gossiage's reconnaissance teams confirmed that Helio's only source of water was a reservoir located more than fifty kilometers away, Gossiage ordered the Lancers to capture the reservoir, cut off the water supply to Helio, and wait. Two weeks later, [[Colonel]] [[Martha Mathias]] of the Legionnaires had no choice but to attack, only for the Legionnaires to be mauled by the Lancers.<ref name="4SWv2p52">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 52, "Heligoland"</ref>	+	Heligoland was one of the targets of the sixth wave, with the invasion assigned to the [[Sixth Crucis Lancers]] [[Regimental Combat Team]].

−	Faced with a losing prospect Mathias contacted Gossiage with an offer to withdraw the Legionnaires and the planetary militia off-world, provided a number of set conditions were met. Those conditions revolved primarily around ensuring that the local population were treated fairly, but also included the demand that the Legionnaires and their families be transported to [[Minnacora]], a nearby system still in Capellan hands. Knowing that he was placing his transport ships at risk, Gossiage decided to agree to the terms, and dispatched four [[DropShip]]s and his two smallest [[JumpShip]]s to transport the Capellan forces away. Everything went well, and Gossiage's role in preventing further bloodshed on Heligoland was noted by the AFFS, but he was also warned for risking the ships and the lives of their crews.<ref name="4SWv2p52"/>	+	Faced with a losing prospect Mathais contacted Gossiage with an offer to withdraw the Legionnaires and the planetary militia off-world, provided a number of set conditions were met.

This presented [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] [[Orval Gossiage]] with a problem, as assaulting a strong enemy in a well-chosen defensive position was a receipe for casualties. When Gossiage's reconnaissance teams confirmed that Helio's only source of water was a reservoir located more than fifty kilometers away, Gossiage ordered the Lancers to capture the reservoir, cut off the water supply to Helio, and wait. Two weeks later, [[Colonel]] [[Martha Mathias]] of the Legionnaires had no choice but to attack, only for the Legionnaires to be mauled by the Lancers.<ref name="4SWv2p52">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 52, "Heligoland"</ref> Faced with a losing prospect Mathais contacted Gossiage with an offer to withdraw the Legionnaires and the planetary militia off-world, provided a number of set conditions were met. Those conditions revolved primarily around ensuring that the local population were treated fairly, but also included the demand that the Legionnaires and their families be transported to [[Minnacora]], a nearby system still in Capellan hands. Knowing that he was placing his transport ships at risk, Gossiage decided to agree to the terms, and dispatched four [[DropShip]]s and his two smallest [[JumpShip]]s to transport the Capellan forces away. Everything went well, and Gossiage's role in preventing further bloodshed on Heligoland was noted by the AFFS, but he was also warned for risking the ships and the lives of their crews.<ref
