The [[Star League]] eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in [[2579]] assembled [[Task Force MAILED FIST]] to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the [[Star League Defense Force]], Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing [[Operation MAILED FIST]], the name given to the military intervention. The first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]],<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132: "Case Apollo"</ref> until a destructive raid on [[Alarion]] by the [[Fourth Amaris Fusiliers]] in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing [[Rim Worlds Army]] concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.<ref name="H:RWp133">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 133: "Island Hopping (2582 - November 2590)"</ref>
