==History==
In January [[3029]], Hans VerBeck II served in the Fire [[Lance]] of the Second [[Company]] within the First [[Battalion]], aka The Blades of Death, of the Fifth Sword of Light when the unit was assigned to assault the world of [[Northwind]] to relieve pressure on the [[Capellan Confederation]]. The Sword of Light was joined by the [[Thirty-sixth Dieron Regulars]] and the [[Genyosha]] to drive the defending [[Fifth Deneb Light Cavalry]], [[Team Banzai]] and [[Bradley's Bravos]] off world.<ref name=TFSWSVO36-37>''The Fourth Succession War Scenarios Volume One'', pp. 36–37: "A Dirty Little War"</ref>

During the fighting, ''[[Tai-sho (rank)|Tai-sho]]'' [[Palmer Conti]], commander of the Fifth Sword of Light, initiated a plan to poison the water supply of Northwind's capital city, [[Cromarty City]], which led to thousands of deaths in the civilian and [[Federated Suns]] defenders. This forced the defenders to fall back with defeat almost certain until the arrival of the [[Northwind Highlanders]] mercenary unit turned the tide and drove off the Kuritan invaders.<ref name=TFSWSVO36-37/>
