Joining forces with RDF 3, RDF 1 was on Bremen when Alpha Galaxy and Seeker Galaxy arrived in July 3140. RDF 1 mostly faced Alpha Galaxy. Eventually RDF 3 had to disengage from Seeker Galaxy, which left RDF 1 to face the two Scorpion Galaxies alone. They held an extensive series of defensive works and refused to give them up. This allowed Alpha Galaxy Elementals to bypass the defenders and capture the [[Council of Merchants]] on October 12. The Council detonated a failsafe which destroyed the Council building and much of the capital city. The Hanseatic League's Captain-Marshal, as the only surviving Council member, ordered the Hansa to surrender.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Hanseatic Crusade'', pp. 13, 34</ref>
