	The COC's concerns proved to be well-founded; when the [[Sixth Crucis Lancers]] [[RCT]] invaded Mandate, they faced propeller aircraft making ramming attacks against landing DropShips and dropping 'Mechs, as well as suicide bombers on the ground, as the civilian population fought back against the invaders. In what proved an emotionally-sapping campaign, the militia and volunteer regiments defending Mandate proceeded to use similar tactics, but on a much larger scale. In addition to the suicide attacks the various regiments of the RCT found themselves subject to constant sniper attacks, mass charges by militia units and the contamination of water sources. By the time the Lancers had reached the outskirts of Glory of Liao, the planetary capital city, the troops were already emotionally exhausted from having to kill old men, women and children as the fanatical defenders attempted to oust them.<ref name="4SWv2p38B"/>		The COC's concerns proved to be well-founded; when the [[Sixth Crucis Lancers]] [[RCT]] invaded Mandate, they faced propeller aircraft making ramming attacks against landing DropShips and dropping 'Mechs, as well as suicide bombers on the ground, as the civilian population fought back against the invaders.

−	The first elements of the RCT to reach Glory of Liao were a medium [['Mech]] company, a company of light [[Combat Vehicle|armor]], and two battalions of infantry - one being laser grenadiers, the other helicopter-equipped jump troops. The defenders had concealed themselves in ground positions, and emerged en masse - three companies of Capellan tanks, two battalions of militia infantry and a regiment of civilian volunteers. The volunteers proceeded to rush the Lancers line with improvised weapons and basic firearms, while the militia tanks and soldiers used them as human shields to conceal their advance. The Lancers' efforts to target just the militia elements gave the attackers more time, and despite horrendous casualties the third wave of attackers breached the Lancers' infantry lines. It was only the sudden appearance of two Lancer ''[[Firestarter (BattleMech)|Firestarters]]'' that allowed the Lancers to plug the gap in the line, by which time they'd already lost three platoons of infantry and a tank, as well as one of the two ''Firestarters''.<ref name="4SWv2p38B"/>	+	The first elements of the RCT to reach Glory of Liao were a medium [['Mech]] company, a company of light [[Combat Vehicle|armor]], and two battalions of infantry - one being laser grenadiers, the other helicopter-equipped jump troops.

−	Barely pausing, the defenders attacked again, and were on the verge of overwhelming the Lancer lines when the [[Third McHenry Jump Regiment]] arrived, deploying by helicopter into the middle of the attacking troops; with those members of the Third who survived the drop grouping up back-to-back to try and hold, the Mandate volunteer formation finally broke, exposing the militia elements. Despite strafing runs from helicopters and the second ''Firestarter'' sacrificing itself, the militia nearly overwhelmed the Lancers. The arrival of two more [[lance]]s of Lancer 'Mechs tipped the battle in favor of the AFFS troops, but the militia tanks continued to fight until they were all destroyed. The battle proved such a horrific bloodbath that, faced with another round of similarly huge and senseless losses, the people of Mandate surrendered.<ref name="4SWv2p38B"/>	+	Barely pausing, the defenders attacked again, and were on the verge of overwhelming the Lancer lines when the [[Third McHenry Jump Regiment]] arrived, deploying by helicopter into the middle of the attacking troops; with those members of the Third who survived the drop grouping up back-to-back to try and hold, the Mandate volunteer formation finally broke, exposing the militia elements.

VI, "Inner Sphere - [3145] Map"</ref> == Planetary History == === Fourth Succession War === Following the lull in major offensives in early [[3029]], a number of new offensives began as the [[Fourth Succession War]] entered its second year. The [[AFFS]] forces on the Capellan front did their best to rest and resupply during the lull, anticipating a return to combat operations; orders for the fifth wave of [[Operation RAT]] were received in late April, and large-scale invasions of the Capellan Confederation began again.<ref name="4SWv2p38A">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 38, "Capellan Front"</ref> Stripped of JumpShips to form a command chain for [[Operation Intruders Communion|Operation INTRUDERS COMMUNION]], few of the front-line forces within the Sarna Commonality were able to respond to the fresh wave of attacks.<ref name="4SWv2p38">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 38, "Fifth Wave"</ref> Despite the lack of front-line units on Mandate, the Capellan Operations Command of the AFFS was deeply concerned about the invasion of the planet; Mandate had provided more personnel to the Capellan Warrior Houses than any other Confederation world, and the population of the planet were known to be tough individuals as a result of the combination of Capellan society and Mandate's harsh environment.<ref name="4SWv2p38B">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 38, "Mandate"</ref> The COC's concerns proved to be well-founded; when the [[Sixth Crucis Lancers]] [[RCT]] invaded Mandate, they faced propeller aircraft making ramming attacks against landing DropShips and dropping 'Mechs, as well as suicide bombers on the ground, as the civilian population fought back against the invaders. In what proved an emotionally-sapping campaign, the militia and volunteer regiments defending Mandate proceeded to use similar tactics, but on a much larger scale. In addition to the suicide attacks the various regiments of the RCT found themselves subject to constant sniper attacks, mass charges by militia units and the contamination of water sources. By the time the Lancers had reached the outskirts of Glory of Liao, the planetary capital city, the troops were already emotionally exhausted from having to kill old men, women and children as the fanatical defenders attempted to oust them.<ref name="4SWv2p38B"/> The first elements of the RCT to reach Glory of Liao were a medium [['Mech]] company, a company of light [[Combat Vehicle|armor]], and two battalions of infantry - one being laser grenadiers, the other helicopter-equipped jump troops. The defenders had concealed themselves in ground positions, and emerged en masse - three companies of Capellan tanks, two battalions of militia infantry and a regiment of civilian volunteers. The volunteers proceeded to rush the Lancers line with improvised weapons and basic firearms, while the militia tanks and soldiers used them as human shields to conceal their advance. The Lancers' efforts to target just the militia elements gave the attackers more time, and despite horrendous casualties the third wave of attackers breached the Lancers' infantry lines. It was only the sudden appearance of two Lancer ''[[Firestarter]]s'' that allowed the Lancers to plug the gap in the line, by which time they'd already lost three platoons of infantry and a tank, as well as one of the two ''Firestarters''.<ref name="4SWv2p38B"/> Barely pausing, the defenders attacked again, and were on the verge of overwhelming the Lancer lines when the [[Third McHenry Jump Regiment]] arrived, deploying by helicopter into the middle of the attacking troops; with those members of the Third who survived the drop grouping up back-to-back to try and hold, the Mandate volunteer formation finally broke, exposing the militia elements. Despite strafing runs from helicopters and the the second ''Firestarter'' sacrificing itself, the militia nearly overwhelmed the Lancers. The arrival of two more [[lance]]s of Lancer 'Mechs tipped the battle in favor of the AFFS troops, but the militia tanks continued to fight until they were all destroyed. The battle proved such a horrific bloodbath that, faced with another round of similarly huge and senseless losses, the people of Mandate surrendered.<ref name="4SWv2p38B"/> == Military Deployment == === 3029 === * [[Mandate Militia]]<ref name="4SWMAV2p38">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 38, "Mandate"</ref> === 3063 === * [[Warrior House Dai Da Chi]]<ref name=FMCC120>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 120, "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table"</ref> === 3079 === * * Elements of the [[5th Confederation Reserve Cavalry|Fifth Confederation Reserve Cavalry]]<ref>''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 11, "Confederation Reserve Cavalry Regimental Status"</ref> :- At this point in time, the 5th Confederation Reserve Cavalry were deployed across [[Foot Fall]], Mandate and [[Remshield]].
