Youta Nakahara was the commanding officer of the Second Legion of Vega during the Second Combine-Dominion War.[1]
History
Chu-sa Nakahara, commanding the Second Legion of Vega's Fifty-third Vegan Lancers armored unit, was stationed on Camlann in 3085.[2] By 3099, Nakahara had been promoted to Tai-sa and commander of the Second Legion of Vega when the unit was tasked with raiding the Ghost Bear Dominion world of Orestes. The Second Legion's primary objective was to quickly hit the planet's Odin Manufacturing facility and then depart, although it quickly became obvious that the First Kavalleri Cluster's defenses would require a siege to overcome. Ordering his infantry support to destroy the maglev rails and roads leading to the Odin factory from the planetary spaceport, Nakahara lead the Second Legion into besieging the facility on 25 April.[1]
The complex's reinforced walls with built-in bunkers for BattleMechs and heavy gun emplacements prevented Nakahara from launching a direct assault but the Second Legion still reduced the factory to ruins with six days worth of artillery bombardment. The First Kavalleri were also badly hurt after launching several counterattacks in a failed bid to force the fighting out of a static state. On 31 April, Nakahara ordered his soldiers to retreat before enemy reinforcements could arrive. Despite the damage the Second Legion had done, the Odin Manufacturing facility would resume Shadow Hawk production within the year and the First Kavalleri remained combat effective after receiving the factory's produced BattleMechs and scavenging those left on the battlefield.[1]
