The Conflict
Prelude
On May 8th, 3052, a curiour ship under the employ of Kamea Arano arrived in the Essex System with an urgent message. The High Lady was enacting her right to call upon the Riesenjager to defend the realm. Trinh Tran-Kruger, currently the commander of the company in place of her absent father, assembled a task force and departed for Coromodir.
Upon arriving, the task force was directed to the planet's HPG facility. ComStar had fortified the campus and guarded it with a company of battlemechs as well as an army of infantry. They were demanding that Kamea abdicate and hand control of the Aurigan Reach over to the Order.
The company serounded the campus, heming the ComGuards in as they drew up plans to siege the facility if things became more hostile.
On May 23rd, 3052, a Riesenjager infantryman was shot as he strayed too close to the ComStar camp. The company's plans were immediately executed. Battlemech lances led by
Mai Tran-Kruger, Lucas Tran-Kruger and
Rafeal Arano struck at the ComGuard battlemechs while
Sasha Arano's armor company unleased hell from a distance. Battle Armor jumpped over the ComGuard defenses as Air Cavilry teams were airlifted onto the facility. The battle was fierce but brief. Within thirty minutes the ComGuards were decimated and the facility's Precentor Torres lay dead at Trinh's hands.
The mesage was clear, ComStar was no longer welcome in the Reach. A handful of Adepts were taken prisoner and 'convinced' to instruct a civilian team to run the facilities across the realm as the Riesenjager systematically forced ComStar off of every Aurigan world they populated.
The loss of the Aurigan Reach put a bitter taste in the mouth of the ComStar towards that corner of the Periphery.
