The oldest settled world in the Capellan Confederation, Aldebaran has long been a major commercial and industrial center, supporting a permanent military base and a high-priority defense rating. Aldebaran's temperate climate supports a wide variety of life forms that thrive in many different types of terrain.

Aldebaran is a natural invasion route to the interior of the Tikonov commonality. For this reason, it has witnessed substantial fighting during the Succession Wars, and even today remains a tempting target to deep-space strikes from both House Marik and Davion. Thus, Aldebaran rates a high defense posture.

It is the home to the Ijori Warrior House regiment, and maintains several squadrons of AeroSpace fighters. Though much reduced in capacity as a result of frequent occupation, Aldebaran retains a moderate industry that is growing slowly.

[3030] Even though it was absorbed by the Federated Commonwealth during the Forth Succession War, Aldebaran's citizens continue to follow the ancient Capellan customs and ritual, which most newcomers to the planet also adopt. The capital city of Aldebaran is Jifang Po City.

[3056] Tong activity, present on the planet since its capture, has increased dramatically in the last four years. Many attribute this to Sun-Tzu Liao's attempts to more subtly harass the Federated Commonwealth.

EMPLOYER SITUATION REPORT:
Three weeks ago, the 3rd Free Worlds Legionnaires jumped into Aldebaran and launched a campaign against the Capellan world. The world was used a staging world for the recent assaults into the former Hegemony worlds.

Recently, Laurel's Legion and Marshigama's Legion both garrisoned the world. However, Laurel's Legion is currently garrisoned the newly conquered Elgin, leaving Marshigama's two battlemech battalions to defend the world.

Marshigama's is currently holding their own against the 3rd Legionnaires, but Marshigama's is in need of support. Currently Laurel's Legion's 2nd Battalion is in route from Elgin, but an extra battalion would definitely prevent a statemate and allow the Confederation to eject the Legionnaires from the planet.

As of now, the capital city of Jifang Po is under Confederation control. By the time you arrive, Intelligence estimates the Legionnaires will be within a mere 10 kilometers of the capital. House Ijori Aspirants are currently defending Jifang Po from any flanking attacks while Marshigama's holds off the Legionnaires as long as possible.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Remove the 3rd Free World Legionnaires threat from Aldebaran.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
1) N/A
