Despite the formation of the AMC and their efforts to influence the decision, the planet [[Hall]] would join the [[Free Worlds League]] on the 10th of October [[3067]] as a result of what was believed to be Blakist machinations.<ref name="J:FRp44"/> This was followed just days later by a second significant setback for the AMC when on the 15th of October a group of disaffected [[mercenaries]] under the command of Colonel [[Wayne Waco]] assaulted [[Wolf's Dragoons]] positions on their homeworld of [[Outreach]]. [[Jaime Wolf]] and [[Wayne Waco]] killed each other in the city of Harlech in what was to become known as the first battle of the [[Jihad]]. The primary attacking forces assembled by Wayne Waco, which included the [[51st Dark Panzer Jaegers]] and [[Smithson's Chinese Bandits]] were destroyed when the Dragoons initiated a response codeworded as "Condition Feral" in response to the death of Jaime Wolf. Whereas Blakist influence had been suspected in the decision taken by the government on Hall, clear evidence of Blakist influence on the attack on Outreach was uncovered.<ref name="J:FRp44"/>
