Defending Remshield were two units; the First Battalion of [[Hurloc's Hussars]] and the First Battalion of the [[Fourth Tau Ceti Rangers]]. The two commands had taken up positions around the two main cities on Remshield, Mineral City - the planetary capital - and Jewel Box. The Commanding Officer of the Guards, [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] [[Jonathan Riftenberg]], decided to split his forces, dropping the lighter, faster elements of his conventional forces some twenty kilometers from Mineral City, with orders to gather information on the Hussars' defenses.
