====Reunification War====
In the buildup to the [[Reunification War]] the [[Star League Defense Force]] began assembling [[SLDF Task Force Canopus]], the large military formation consisting of SLDF and [[Free Worlds League Military]] units which it was planned would be responsible for annexing the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] once war between the [[Star League]] and the Magistracy became inevitable. It was determined that [[Andurien]] had the best infrastructure and communications for the SLDF operation to conquer the Magistracy, and it was originally intended that Andurien would be the site of the Task Force headquarters. However, [[Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation|Chancellor]] [[Ursula Liao]] of the [[Capellan Confederation]] refused to allow the presence of a Free Worlds League [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]]—the commanding officer of the task force was [[Marion Marik]]—or any FWLM units on Andurien. Even if the units were operating under the auspices of the SLDF, the perception was that their very presence was an attempt to undermine the agreement reached between Captain-General [[Albert Marik]] and Chancellor [[Terrence Liao]] in [[2556]] that had ended the [[Third Andurien War]] and resolved disputes over the system by placing Andurien within the boundaries of the Confederation. Ursula Liao refused to budge from her position and as a result the Task Force HQ had to instead be established on Cole Harbour, delaying the operation.<ref name="H:RWp97">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 97: "Over the Edge (2577)"</ref>

In [[2583]], the mercenary unit [[Buquoy's Bandits]] raided Cole Harbour, one of a number of raids conducted by units from the [[Magistracy Armed Forces]] throughout Free Worlds League and Capellan Confederation space intended to ensure that the SLDF Task Force had to keep directing resources to protect garrisons, supply worlds and staging areas. The Cole Harbour raid was one of the last raids to be conducted by the MAF, if not the last raid, as the destruction of the bulk of the Canopian Navy at [[Thurrock]] later in 2583 effectively destroyed the ability of the MAF to redeploy quickly en masse and to stage deep raids.<ref name="H:RWp151">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 151: "Magistracy of Canopus Front (2583-2588)"</ref>

Sometime around the end of the [[Third Succession War]], the [[Black Inferno]] mercenary group attacked the main population center of the [[Coalition of Farmers]] on Cole Harbour. This was consistent with their pattern of driving civilian populations off of sites that had been discovered to be long-lost Star League Defense Force bases and supply depots so that they could excavate them and pillage whatever they could find. The Coalition sent out an open contract to anyone willing to intervene and [[Nik's Cavaliers]] answered, already having their own reasons to take them down a peg. The Inferno forces were repelled and an advanced exploration team from [[Interstellar Expeditions]] was sent to investigate and survey the area to see if there really was a Star League facility of some kind on the planet.<ref name=MW5M>''MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries'', Campaign Mission 9: "Distress Call"</ref>
