History
Colonel Heller, serving with the Tooth of Ymir under contract with the Draconis Combine, was stationed on Wheel in 3025.[1]
Andurien Secession
Heller's unit, having taken up a contract with the Duchy of Andurien, assisted in the rouge province's invasion of the Capellan Confederation during the Andurien Secession. On 9 February, Heller and the Tooth made planetfall on Betelgeuse in order to assist the embattled Anduriens' efforts against Warrior House Kamata. While the Tooth initially made rapid gains, the Warrior House soldiers soon made it apparent that they would fight to the bitter end, requiring each pocket of resistance to be totally crushed before the Andurien forces could proceed. On 9 July, the surprise arrival of a scratch Warrior House Hiritsu force wreaked havoc in the Anduriens' rear lines and, even after being beaten back, these Capellan reinforcements continued to create chaos amidst the invader's supply and support facilities. By the end of the year, Betelgeuse remained unconquered, although Duchess Catherine Humphreys promised enough reinforcements would be sent to take the stubborn planet.[2]
In 3032, the Tooth of Ymir and the First Defenders of Andurien were indeed reinforced by the Third and Fourth Defenders of Andurien. Even the Prefectorate Guard's arrival to reinforce the outnumbered Warrior Houses didn't slow the Andurien advance and, by early March, the Prefectorate Guard were destroyed and Betelgeuse nearly pacified. On 9 May, all five regiments of McCarron's Armored Cavalry made a surprise drop on Betelgeuse as part of a theater-wide Capellan counter-attack and with just two weeks of fighting the Anduriens were fully ejected from the planet.[3]
