==History==
In September [[3028]], Jack Forbes commanded Bravo [[Company]] of the Second [[Battalion]] within the Third Lyran Guards when the unit was tasked with invading the world of [[Vega]] as part of [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]]. The Lyrans quickly drove the defending [[Draconis Combine]] forces from two of the planet's three continents. However in October 3028, ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Theodore Kurita]] arrived on world to take command of the defending [[Second Legion of Vega]] and [[Fourteenth Legion of Vega]]. He soon launched a counter attack that split the Lyran forces and drove them off world. Jack's Company was tasked with holding off the Combine forces as long as possible so the other Lyrans could escape.<ref name=TFSWSVO28>''The Fourth Succession War Scenarios Volume One'', p. 28</ref><ref name=TFSWSVO28-29>''The Fourth Succession War Scenarios Volume One'', pp. 28–29: "Storm of Tears"</ref>
