Despite Wong's best efforts, the Star League advantages in numbers and equipment eventually swung the campaign back in their favor, and by early July the Fifth Legionnaires had been forced to fall back into the rugged terrain that dominated the northern continent of Barcelona, known as Norn. The Fifth Legionnaires would have been quickly defeated if not for events within the [[Lyran Commonwealth]].<ref name="H:RWp136"/> Despite Wong's best efforts, the Star League advantages in numbers and equipment eventually swung the campaign back in their favor, and by early July the Fifth Legionnaires had been forced to fall back into the rugged terrain that dominated the northern continent of Barcelona, known as Norn.

− On 19 July [[2591]], courier ships brought news to Barcelona that the [[Archon-Designate]], Viola Steiner-Dinesen's son [[Kevin Dinesen]] had gone missing in March and was presumed to have been kidnapped. Arriving along with the official news were rumors from the Commonwealth that the [[Duke of Skye]] and the [[Duke of Tamar]], [[Aldo Lestrade (26th c.)|Aldo Lestrade]] and [[Selvin Kelswa (26th c.)|Selvin Kelswa]], respectively, were responsible for the abduction. The rumors reached the Archon ahead of the official news, and the rumors combined with the frustration of years of campaigning in the Republic was enough to cause the Archon to snap; she led the Fourth Royal Guards personally to the cantonment within which the Twenty-Fifth Skye Rangers and Tamar Tigers were bivouacked where she promptly destroyed the [['Mechs]] performing sentry duty and began a rampage through the camp, attacking the Skye and Tamar forces.<ref name="H:RWp137+">''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 137–138: "Barcelona: The Day of Rage (19 June 2591)"</ref> + On 19 July [[2591]], courier ships brought news to Barcelona that the [[Archon-Designate]], Viola Steiner-Dinesen's son [[Kevin Dinesen]] had gone missing in March and was presumed to have been kidnapped.

The results of the Archon's rampage scarred the psyches of those involved for decades afterwards; the Skye and Tamar regiments had been in the midst of rearming and resupplying when the Archon's rampage began, and faced the horrific dilemma of having to decide whether to defend themselves and their comrades by attacking the Archon.
