When '''Jacson''' was [[Battle of Jacson (3103)|invaded]] by the Federated Suns during the [[Victoria War]] the mercenary unit [[Lethal Injection]] were under contract to the Capellan Confederation to defend the planet. Lethal Injection retreated into the Perpetual Forest in the face of the invaders numbers. The massive boughs of the trees in the Perpetual Forest played havoc with the sensors of pursuing units; however, the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] task force included the mercenary unit [[Holt's Hilltoppers]], who had been under contract to the Capellan government themselves before taking up a contract with the Federated Suns. The Hilltoppers deployed the recon company Champion Battalion into the Perpetual Forest in pursuit of Lethal Injection; with the disruption caused by the mighty trees, neither force was able to detect each other and the two literally stumbled across each other.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp26">''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', p. 26, "Koshi (Standard)"</ref>

The Hilltoppers were able to use their greater numbers - and the lance of light, fast [[Koshi (BattleMech)|''Koshi'']] [[BattleMech]]s within their recon company - to eliminate the recon component of Lethal Injection, and as a result the Capellan mercenaries pulled back out of the Forest and retreated from Jacson; the Federated Suns assumed control of the planet shortly afterwards.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp26"/><ref name=H:WotREp50/>
