In [[3119]], Brockway was raided by pirates. The pirates first target was the Monterey-Lapland viaduct, the twenty-kilometer infrastructure link between the Lapland Archipelago and the rest of the continent; destroying a section of the viaduct left those elements of the Pleiades Hussars who had been engaged in wargames on the Archipelago cut off from the mainland so far as the pirates knew. Believing they now had freedom of movement, the pirates then began looting the Monterey spaceport in a relaxed fashion, failing to establish a viable security perimeter as they did so.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp14"/>

What the pirates didn't know was that the Pleiades Hussars had access to two [[lances]] of [[Lamprey (Combat Vehicle)|Lamprey Transport Helicopters]]; the first notice the pirates had of the presence of the Lampreys was when the eight [[VTOLs]] flew over the spaceport, deploying squads of [[battle armor]] via combat drops and attacking every pirate [[BattleMech]] they could see with [[SRM]] volleys. It took the Hussars' infantry ten minutes to capture the pirate [[DropShip]] and begin turning its guns on the pirate forces as well.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp14"/>

The pirates retreated into the hills around Monterey, attempting to use the thick forests for cover; the two lances of Lampreys worked in tandem, one lance deploying conventional infantry while the other harassed the pirate forces; the airmobile infantry herded the pirates towards a box canyon, where they were comprehensively destroyed. One lance of pirate 'Mechs was destroyed, while another was salvaged by the Hussars—who lost no Lampreys in the action.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp14"/>
