31st of March, 3083 The first quarter of this year saw ruthless acts of violence committed by House Kurita. There has been sabotage and terror in the very heart of the realms targeted by the Draconis Combine. In unmitigated acts, neither sanctioned by the Star League nor the Ares convention, DEST teams have been sent to the capitol worlds of Tharkad of the Lyran Alliance, New Avalon of the Federated Suns, and Alshain of the Rasalhague Dominion with the express purpose of sabotaging Fusion Plants near the Realm’s capitol’s creating rather large nuclear explosion and blankets of radiation to slowly wipe out their enemies. These atrocities have de-moralize the victims and aided in blanketing each states 4C complexes with enough radiation so as to disable their HPGs preventing them from communicating with their forces constantly engaged on the front with their aggressor the Draconis Combine. It appears that other Special Forces are taking their lead from the Dragon and are taking advantage of these three Realm’s weaknesses by launching their own attacks all along their border worlds. They have included, although not limited, to assassinations, bombings, and the sabotaging of fusion power plants to explode. Worlds of note along the Rasalhague Dominion shard border are Radstadt, Trondheim, and Tukayyid. Along the Lyran Alliance - Skye, Bolan, Cavanaugh II, Timbuktu, Coventry, and Melissia.

The 39th Avalon Hussars and 6th Crucis Lancers secure both the Earthwerks facilities and the CMAF Military Base on planet effectively conquering the planet and crippling the CMAF's war making capability by capturing their biggest 'Mech manufacturing facility. Using tactics reminiscent of the Andurien-Canopian War, CMAF units wage a hit and fade campaign until the right time to strike. Defending the world would be House Dai Da Chi, House Lu Sann, Vong’s Commandos, and the Green Mountain Boys.
20th of September, 3084 While fighting for Grand Base, Davion forces notice that Vong’s Commandos are not the same force that was fighting in the Chaos March 20 years ago. Small in number, and now well known for their perfect guerrilla and small unit tactics, the only thing Davion forces can compare the small battalion force to is an amalgamation of the Chancellor’s Death Commandos and the Manei Domini: elite, enhanced, and fanatically loyal to the Chancellor. House Davion counters with their own elite fanatics, the 'Rabid Foxes'.
1st of October, 3084 Davion forces on Grand Base engage a well prepared and ferocious CMAF defender. However, neither side has the upper hand. Finally, the 8th WoB Division, the turncoat division from the “War in the Reaches”, enters the fray on the side of the Capellan Confederation. Reequipped with much of their confiscated equipment from the War in the Reaches, the truncated Division hits the 6th Crucis Lancers in their southward flank. This causes a stalemate in the battle for Grand Base. Having achieved their objectives, the raiding of the Grand Base 'Mech factories, what's left of the 39th Avalon Hussars and 6th Crucis Lancers begin a tatical withdrawal.
2nd of October, 3084 The second phase of Operation Neptune begins. After a series of back and forth engagements with their Davion foe on their drives toward Grand Base, Claxton, Victoria and Sian, the CMAF attacks in a pincer move designed to separate the 13 RCTs, 8 Independents and their warship squadrons from the Federated Suns. Ziliang is the site of the largest counter-attack, but my no means was the only part. The enormity of the counter-attack could not be underestimated: the elite regiments of the 3rd Canopian Light Horse and the Hustaing Warriors lead the charge, supported by two battalions of the Chancellor’s Death Commandos and parts of the mercenary force Akki Tsubasa. Almost as an afterthought, the green St. Ives Cheaveau Legers are assigned to support. This entire force invades Ziliang, with the failed salient for Sian through Purvo, this bolstered the defenders to the 1st FedSuns Armored Cavalry, LCG 180th Dragoon Combat Group, Hellstorm Huasars Mercenary Brigade, 12th Deneb Light Cavalry RCT, 4th FedSuns Lancers RCT, 12th Vegan Rangers Delta Regiment left behind to defend the Federated Suns world.
9th of October, 3084 Looking to follow up on the successful and tenuous unofficial truce caused by the arrival of peacekeepers on the Federated Suns and Draconis Combine border, SLDF peacekeepers roll into camps along the Lyran Alliance and Draconis Combine front line with only initial success as cross-border raiding continues to take place by years end.
1st of November, 3084 After five months of exhaustive fighting on both sides, Operation Trojan Heart finally winds down. The drive towards Sian is stalled along the Purvo front, and on Grand Base, CMAF units claim victory. Their are untold casualties against both sides among the CMAF units of House Dai Da Chi and House Lu Sann and the AFFS 39th Avalon Hussars and 6th Crucis Lancers. Some of the ‘Mech facilities on Grand Base are heavily damaged, but most of the fighting left a larger percentage of Mech facilities unscaythed and simply raided. While Davion forces were withdrawing however, Task Force Victoria arrives. The CMAF task force establishes a cordon of Grand Base for three weeks before moving on to Ziliang to enforce the Capellan’s claim on the world. Several Davion DropShips breeched the cordon during those three weeks, and some were given no mercy. The remaining Davion defenders retreated from the planet during the second week. A mixed battalion of Davion forces goes underground in order to fight a guerrilla campaign. Vong’s Commandos are unleashed against them. No one knows what happened to those Davion guerrillas that didn’t join their brothern during their tatical retreat, but it is rumored that they gave as good as the got.
30th of November, 3084 The beginning preparatory work of the CMAF’s Tikonov invasion fleet commences as SLDF peacekeepers begin leaving their posts in the Star League Administered region bound for the border along the Federated Suns and Capellan Confederation. Brief lulls in the fighting still hold elsewhere in the Inner Sphere as the SLDF bids to cease these final hostilities from growing.
8th of December, 3084 The invasion of Tikonov begins. Task Force Liao, led by the CMAFNS Franco Martell, and over one hundred DropShips belonging to the invasion force of the CMAF enter the Tikonov system. The invasion force arrives at a pirate point 20 hours from the planet, and makes an immediate burn for the planet. The 4th Tau Ceti Rangers, 2nd Confederation Reserve Cavalry, Harloc Raiders, 2nd Liao Commonality Lancers, Renshield’s Dragoons, 1st Shin Legion, and the mercenary units Akki Tsubasa, 171st Armored Cavalry and King’s Lancers move to invade the planet.
9th of December, 3084 At Tikonov, ten hours from the surface, the AFFS space borne defenses engage the CMAF invasion fleet. A ferocious hour-long battle ensues. In the end, the Federated Suns Melissa Davion Squadron is defeated above Tikonov, leading to the crippling of the Melissa Davion and the complete destruction of one of her Fox-class escorts. However, the engagement cost the CMAF the Xuan-feng class Heavenly Bird. Task Force Liao then creates of cordon of the Tikonov system.
12th of December, 3084 SLDF peacekeepers arrive in the Tikonov system, but retreat under the threat of destruction by the CMAF Navy’s cordon. The fate of Tikonov will be left to the forces on the ground. Elsewhere along the Capellan Confederation and Federated Suns border SLDF peacekeepers arrive as fighting simmers down.
24th of December, 3084 Operation Neptune finally runs out of steam in lieu of the ferocity of its Davion invaders. After successfully recapturing Grand Base, the CMAF draws the proverbial noose close on the forces of Trojan Heart. Realizing that the Federated Suns has proven their point and thrust a dagger very close to the Capellan 'HEART' of Sian, Davion forces begin a series of withdrawals. For the next three months, Davion forces retreat from world to world to be replaced by arriving SLDF peacekeepers. Some forces that are left behind in fighting withdrawals suffer causalities. A few Davion units, classified at this time, have been so thoroughly thrashed that their unit’s have been moved from the Capellan March to the interior Crucis March of the Federated Suns, until such a time when they can be brought back up to full strength.

Some of retreating Davion ‘Mechs, vehicles and equipment are left behind to the CMAF as spoils of war. The 1st Federated Freemen regiment and the Tikonov CMM are reduce to 40% during the fighting, and the Illician Lancers take a severe thrashing as well. The remaining strengths of both the CMAF and AFFS forces remain classified, but the SLDF begrudgingly acknowledges Tikonov as a Capellan holding, setting the stage for Tancred Sandoval’s repudiation of the Star League.
20th of March, 3085 A general ceasefire is called by the SLDF, freezing all troop movements along the Capellan Confederation and Federated Suns border. Seeing this as a sign of “Davion weakness,” this fuels the fires of the Citizens for Davion Purity movement. The CMAF takes advantage of the many surrenders of Davion forces almost totally caught in the pincer move by Operation Neptune. They go about reequipping their forces with the many captured war materials for the second half of the war they know is sure to come. Taking this as a sign from New Avalon, Nathaniel Hasek also goes about reequipping the Capellan March.
2nd of May, 3085 The Citizens for Davion Purity movement spurred on by the success of the Brotherhood of Cincinnatus commences “Operation Grassy Knoll.” Yvonne Steiner-Davion and Harrison Davion injured in an assassination attempt that takes Vincent Sandoval-Davion’s life (3070-3085).
