Lushann was a central and important industrial world within the Outworlds Alliance when [[Operation UNION HOLD]] began in [[2581]]. After the major [[Periphery]] states rejected the [[Pollux Proclamation]] in [[2575]], the [[Star League]] began planning for the forced incorporation of all of the Periphery nations into the Star League. Operation UNION HOLD was the name given to the invasion of the Outworlds Alliance, which saw two corps of [[Star League Defense Force]] troops and a mixed brigade of [[DCMS]] forces begin systematically occupying Alliance worlds. Lushann escaped the attentions of the Star League and Combine forces - collectively referred to as the Outworlds Alliance Task Force - until early [[2583]] when three years of battles for control of the world began.<ref name="H:RWp124"/>

[[Cerberus (system)|Cerberus]], the most heavily industrialized planet in the Alliance, had just been attacked and occupied by [[II Corps (Star League)|II Corps]] under the command of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force, [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]]. With Cerberus occupied, the Alliance couldn't afford to lose an important industrial world like Lushann; Alliance President [[Grigori Avellar]] ordered the [[Pitcairn Legion]] to Lushann, with orders to defend the world at all costs. When the Legion arrived in late April, the planetary garrison had managed to stubbornly hold the cities of Rotta and Sanbornton against the Fifteenth Division, but were losing the battle elsewhere. [[Elias Pitcairn]] took the fight straight at the Fifteenth when the Legion arrived on-planet, to which Zibler responded by directly engaging the Legion forces, pinning them in place while Forlough continued a two-month campaign to destroy the Alliance's ability to resist.<ref name="H:RWp124"/>
