By [[2583]], the task force had learned of the existence of Megarez, and in March of 2583 the [[59th Brigade]] from [[VII Corps (Star League)|VII Corps]] and the [[401st Independent Regiment]] were assigned to the conquest of Megarez.<ref name="H:RWp102"/><ref name="H:RWp149">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 149: "Magistracy of Canopus Front (2583-2588)"</ref> Megarez was an agrarian world of little strategic importance, but it had been used by the [[Magistracy Armed Forces]] to billet units between raids on SLDF garrisons on occupied Magistracy worlds or supply worlds within the [[Free Worlds League]]. While no major units were stationed on Megarez when the SLDF troops arrived, it took the SLDF weeks to locate all of the various hidden camps established around Megarez and winkle out the handful of defenders still on the world. Megarez was one of four worlds to fall to the SLDF in March and April 2583, completing the encirclement of [[Canopus]], and would be occupied by the SLDF for the remainder of the war; once the Reunification War ended, a number of Magistracy worlds were annexed by the Free Worlds League, but Megarez remained a part of the Magistracy.<ref name="H:RWp102"/><ref name="H:RWp158"/> ===Star League=== During the final years of the [[Star League]], Megarez was the host to a [[Star League Defense Force]] garrison in the form of the [[279th Royal Mechanized Infantry Division]].
