During the [[Second Combine-Dominion War]], the ''Kouki no Otakebi'' had grown to [[battalion]] strength, and were still on Meilen. The [[Rasalhague Dominion]]'s [[4th Kavalleri (Rasalhague Dominion)|Fourth Kavalleri Cluster]] landed on Meilen on 17 September [[3099]] to take the planet. The ''Kouki no Otakebi'' waged a guerrilla campaign, but on 30 September their concentrated forces were overwhelmed following an initially successful but ultimately ill-fated attack on the spaceport garrison, when their [[DropShip]]s were still approaching from their hiding spot behind the moon. They surrendered, but the Fourth Kavalleri then executed their officers by firing squad.<ref name=HWoRE>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 31</ref>
