The Seventh Amaris Dragoons were still the main defensive force on-planet when Battlegroup Timbuktu arrived at the start of July [[2588]] and the SLDF strategy had shifted to reducing the [[Rim Worlds Army]], no matter their loyalties. [[Duke of Regulus|Duke]] [[Narinder Selaj]] assigned the SLDF [[IV Corps (Star League)|IV Corps]]' [[Eleventh Royal Division]] to the conquest of Timbuktu and they were accompanied by all four [[regiment]]s of the despised Draconis Auxiliary Corps. The first week of the campaign saw the elite Eleventh Royal and the brutal Draconis regiments easily smash their way through the bulk of the defenses prepared by Macao's forces. This made Macao pull his troops back to the continent of Hades, which was lightly populated with a number of mining complexes that the Seventh could use as prebuilt defenses.<ref name=HRW-135>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 135</ref>
