==History==
===Reunification War===
Forces from [[Task Force MAILED FIST]], the [[Star League]] forces assigned to [[Operation MAILED FIST]] - an intervention into the long-running civil war in the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] - encountered the '''Second Amaris Legionnaires''' on [[Taran's World]] in [[2595]].<ref name="H:RWp154">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 154, "Rim Worlds Republic Front (Jump-Off - 2587)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp155">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 155, "Rim Worlds Republic Front (2588-2596)"</ref>

The Civil War had begun in [[2575]] and the factions had polarized around those loyal to [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]] and those loyal to the [[Rift Republican Army]] and the [[Rim Provisional Government]].<ref name="H:RWp130">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 130, "The Spark"</ref> The Second Legionnaires had remained loyal to Amaris and had been stationed on Taran's World for more than fifteen years by the time the SLDF encountered them.<ref name="H:RWp153">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 153, "Rim Worlds Republic Front (2588-2596)"</ref>

The [[Star League]] eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in [[2579]] assembled [[Task Force MAILED FIST]] to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the [[Star League Defense Force]], Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing [[Operation MAILED FIST]], the name given to the military intervention. The first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]],<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132, "Case Apollo"</ref> until a destructive raid on [[Alarion]] by the [[4th Amaris Fusiliers]] in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing [[Rim Worlds Army]] concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.<ref name="H:RWp133">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 133, "Island Hopping (2582 - November 2590)"</ref>

The officer commanding Task Force MAILED FIST, [[General]] [[Nathan Isaacson]], assigned a [[division]] from [[VI Corps (Star League)|VI Corps]] to the assault on Taran's World; with the capture of [[Steelton]] earlier in the year, Task Force MAILED FIST had secured the approaches to Apollo, but Isaacson wanted the Second Legionnaires - the last active Rim Worlds Army formation outside of Apollo - contained prior to the battle for Apollo itself.<ref name="H:RWp139">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 139, "Bitter Harvests (2591-2596)"</ref> The [[17th Royal Division|Seventeenth Royal Division]] were deployed forward from [[Bensinger]] and successfully captured Taran's World, remaining in place as the local garrison until the end of Operation MAILED FIST in late [[2596]].<ref name="H:RWp153">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 153, "Rim Worlds Republic Front (2588-2596)"</ref>
