====Star League Era====
In January [[2775]], [[Stefan Amaris]] redeployed large numbers of [[Amaris Empire Armed Forces]] to a dozen worlds, including Deneb Kaitos. [[AEAF]] units had used weapons of mass destruction regularly against [[Star League Defense Force]] units throughout the [[Hegemony Campaign]], predominantly to either damage the [[SLDF]] units targeted or to strike at civilian targets to prevent the SLDF from obtaining resources and supplies. In this case, Amaris' orders were different: he intended to create scorched wastelands that [[Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|Commanding General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] would have no choice but to try and clear, whilst saddling the SLDF with huge numbers of sick and starving civilians. The AEAF units deployed to Deneb Kaitos and the other eleven worlds due to be abandoned by Amaris launched large-scale [[WMD]] attacks with one purpose: to ravage the worlds, preventing them from sustaining either their human populations or their various industries... to create wastelands.<ref name="H:LOT2p33">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 33: "Planets on Fire"</ref>

The AEAF tactic was both brutal and brutally effective. Kerensky deployed twelve [[corps]] of SLDF personnel into Amaris Empire space, and each discovered the same horrific situations. Forced to deploy the SLDF reserve into action, by February, Kerensky had almost a hundred SLDF [[division]]s either on the twelve ravaged worlds or en route to them, trying to provide aid to the populations and to clear up what damage they could.<ref name="H:LOT2p33"/> Deneb Kaitos fell within the operating area of Task Force Commonwealth and the [[Nineteenth Army (Star League)|Nineteenth Army Group]] deployed [[LVI Corps (Star League)|LVI Corps]] to try and assist the population.<ref name="H:LOT2p37">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 37: "Task Force Sun"</ref> The devastation wreaked across Deneb Kaitos and the other worlds bought Amaris time; for several months, Kerensky was unable to resume offensive operations because of a lack of resources, and ultimately the Commanding General had no choice but to call on the [[Capellan Confederation]], Lyran Commonwealth, and [[Federated Suns]] to provide relief where they could.<ref name="H:LOT2p33"/>
