After January [[3052]], the [[Jaguar's Spirit Keshik (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Jaguar's Spirit Keshik]] invaded Kiamba. The Hussars attacked the Keshik using their armor formations as soon as the Keshik had grounded, and as soon as the Keshik had rebuffed that attack, the Smoke Jaguar [[DropShip]]s came under attack from the Hussars aerospace forces, who managed to damage one of the DropShips before being beaten back. The Hussars' armor [[battalion]] retreated into Hecate's Swamp pursued by the Keshik, and as the Keshik entered the swamp, they were ambushed by an incendiary trap prepared by the Hussars that engulfed two of the Keshik's [[Trinary|Trinaries]] in flames. [[Edmund Hoyt]], the Keshik unit's commander at that time, retaliated for the ambush by deploying a headhunter unit that tracked and killed ''Tai-sa'' Richard Weston and the majority of his command unit.
