	When the Star League Outworlds Alliance Task Force targeted in Valentina in [[2582]], it wasn't troops from the [[Star League Defense Force]] that landed on Valentina; instead, [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]] tasked two of the regiments from the auxiliary force provided by the Draconis Combine to occupy the world. The arrival of the [[17th Galedon Regulars|Seventeenth]] and [[Twenty-fourth Galedon Regulars]] resulted in a mass uprising as the native Valentinians rose-up to oppose the invaders. With the [[Santiago Massacre]] still fresh in the collective memory of the civilian population and the stories of Alliance civilians being executed on a continuing basis on worlds already occupied by Combine forces, the decision to use Combine units to annex Valentina resulted in resistance from the population lasting for months after the two-hour battle that wiped out the militia forces.<ref name="H:RWp119"/>		When the Star League Outworlds Alliance Task Force targeted in Valentina in [[2582]], it wasn't troops from the [[Star League Defense Force]] that landed on Valentina; instead, [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]] tasked two of the regiments from the auxiliary force provided by the Draconis Combine to occupy the world.
