[[Daoshen Liao]]'s [[Magistracy of Canopus|Canopian]] allies arrived in the Zanzibar system on 21 February [[3104]], striking the defending [[Sirdar Capellan March Militia]] with two regiments, the [[First Canopian Fusiliers]] and [[Second Canopian Cuirassiers]]. Though the attackers outnumbered the defenders, the Sirdar CMM employed effective combined-arms tactics and held off the Canopians. However, the weakened [[Kingston's Rangers]] arrived on 15 March, forcing the withdrawal of no more than 60% of the CMM's original contingent in the first week of April, when [[AFFS]] [[JumpShip]]s arrived. The CMM escaped into the "wilderness".<ref name=HWRE_58>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 58: "Canopian Entry"</ref><ref name=HWRE_65>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 65: "AFFS Casualties"</ref>
