Jürgen Miyabe was the commanding officer of the Second Genyosha during the War of 3039.[1]
History
During the latter half of the War of 3039, Tai-sa Miyabe's Second Genyosha and its sister unit—the First Genyosha—were tasked with liberating the Draconis Combine world of Nashira from the First FedCom RCT and the veteran Delta Regiment of the Twelfth Vegan Rangers. Miyabe's unit arrived in-system on 21 July 3039 and subsequently launched an orbital drop against the First FedCom's base in the Logan City spaceport. The battle quickly turned chaotic for both sides and cost the First FedCom the spaceport by the end of 25 July, however Miyabe's follow-up attacks revealed strong enemy defenses in the center of the city that could not initially be overcome. Miyabe did not like the idea of assaulting a dug-in enemy in an urban environment and began fortifying his foothold in the spaceport, with Narimasa Asano of the First Genyosha supporting his choice while sending him elements of his own unit as reinforcements. The Combine officers soon believed they held the upper hand and launched an offensive on 9 August that reclaimed one of Logan City's suburbs from the Vegan Rangers but, when fierce resistance from the defenders bought enough time for the arrival of the Seventh Donegal Guards from Kervil, Miyabe was forced to abandon Logan City or risk being destroyed.[1]
The next six weeks of fighting gave neither side the upper hand, with the Genyosha losing some territories while preventing enemy offensives from claiming others. The Genyosha's successful raids did inspire an increasing amount of resistance from Nashira's civilians and remaining militia forces, culminating with the Raven Ridge chemical attack in mid-October that claimed hundreds of Lyran and FedSuns lives and pushed the horrified Genyosha to destroy the militia's bases. After the Raven Ridge disaster, both sides of the conflict became disenchanted and almost all of the fighting ceased until the Genyosha's foes were ordered to withdraw at the end of the month. In the aftermath of the battle, the Seventh Donegal's commander would publicly state that he did not blame the Genyosha for Raven Ridge while praising them for their crushing of the militia terrorists and their aiding of the attack's victims.[1]
