While these attacks were largely effective, the Republicans didn't manage to hit every training base, nor were they able to track down and hit every location where SLDF equipment was stored; they also failed to capture or destroy all of the war matériel stored across Talitha awaiting shipping to the Periphery front. Talitha subsequently became a hotbed for resistance against the Republican forces and Stefan Amaris, as the SLDF personnel who survived the initial attacks made use of the remaining equipment to form and lead resistance groups across the planet.<ref name="H:LoTV1p84+"/> |

Prior to the SLDF invasion of the Hegemony, Amaris-held Talitha would be the site of an ill-fated reconnaissance raid by the [[Eridani Light Horse]]'s [[Nineteenth Striker Regiment]], as part of [[Operation INTRUDER]] in May of [[2771]]. Thanks to an Amaris agent secretly operating within the Light Horse, the Nineteenth Striker dropped onto the city of Amity and right into the teeth of three Republican [[regiments]]. Within two hours, the Nineteenth Striker were killed to the last man.<ref name=HLoTV1-117>''Historical: Liberation of Terra'', p. 117: "Never Give Up"</ref> | Prior to the SLDF invasion of the Hegemony, Amaris-held Talitha would be the site of an ill-fated reconnaissance raid by the [[Eridani Light Horse]]'s [[Nineteenth Striker Regiment]], as part of [[Operation INTRUDER]] in May of [[2771]].

The world was home to a [[Star League]] exchange and mint, but was also an important regional military center protected by three [[Castles Brian]] and two [[brigades]] of [[Rim Worlds Army|Amaris]] forces. Efforts to subjugate the world had only encouraged the formation of a strong resistance, made even more powerful by the presence of so many SLDF retirees. So while the Amaris defenders used WMD liberally against XXIV Corps and civilian targets, resistance groups were able to quickly locate their agents and strongholds which allowed the SLDF to secure Talitha by the end of the year. Much of the world had been battered but retained the industrial capability to support the logistical needs of the military, and by mid-[[2773]], the system was once again serving the SLDF as a regional headquarters and supply depot.<ref name=H:LoT1p131>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 131: "Fifth and Twenty-Fourth Army Groups"</ref> |

Unfortunately, before it was able to invoke the [[Home Defense Act]], the imperious and rash Captain-General sent in [[Marik Militia]] units under the pretext of quelling domestic insurgency to remove and replace the planet's local government with a military dictatorship willing to back Killing Stroke.
