Description:

[2590] After the failure of General Forlough's 'scorched-earth' tactics on New Vandenburg, he was recalled to Terra in January 2590, to be replaced by Lord Damien Onaga.

With much of the Concordat's force withdrawn within the relative safety of Hyades Cluster, General Onaga led the Star League forces through the remainder of the outlying Concordat planets virtually unopposed.

Midale was occupied in December 2590.

[3066] Expecting a Davion invasion of the Taurian Concordat which never came, the now paranoid Protector Shraplen ordered his own strikes deep into the Federated Suns. At first his regiments made remarkable progress, having attacked a region of space where the AFFS had few resources remaining - most being tied up in the ongoing civil war. Midale fell to the Concordat Commando's without much of a struggle in late 3066.

Meant only to be punitive raids, these successes prompted further strikes with the Taurian regiments now believing they could reclaim their ancient homeworlds, and pay the Federated Suns back for their losses in the Reunification Wars.

By early 3067 however, and with the civil war coming to an end, Duke George Hasek was able to send a massive force of AFFS regulars and mercenary units to cut the Taurians off and repel them.
