By [[2987]], during the [[Third Succession War]], the border had shifted and Aosia was a Federated Suns stronghold. In this year, the Federated Suns launched several attacks on the important Capellan world of [[Tikonov]]. In order to take pressure off Tikonov, the Capellan Confederation attacked Federated Suns worlds, including Aosia which was raided by [[Trimaldi's Secutors]], [[Kincade's Rangers]] (as the principal element), [[Kerr's Intruders]], [[Justinia's Cuirassiers]] (also described as a "backbone" of the raid), [[Stapleton's Iron Hand]], [[Shepard's Mounted Fusiliers]], [[Bullard's Armored Cavalry]], and [[Hampton's Hessens]].<ref name="A2987">''House Liao  (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 86 (Trimaldi's Secutors History), p. 87 (Kincade's Rangers and Kerr's Intruders History), p. 89 (Justinia's Cuirassiers History), p. 90 (Stapleton's Iron Hand History), p. 91 (Shepard's Mounted Fusiliers), and p. 96 (Bullard's Armored Cavalry and Hampton's Hessens History)</ref> The fighting raged across the entire planet, from rear-area depots on the southern hemisphere to the northern arctic frontier.
