The Lyran Commonwealth invaded Denebola in [[2786]], deploying the [[Fourteenth Lyran Guards]] as the invasion force, accompanied by a naval escort consisting of a pair of ''[[Commonwealth (WarShip class)|Commonwealth]]''-class light cruisers, the [[LCS Odessa|LCS ''Odessa'']] and [[LCS Porrima|LCS ''Porrima'']]. Despite being outgunned, the [[Francisco|FWLS ''Francisco'']] and her sister ship gamely attempted to attack the Lyran invasion force, only for the opening volley of laser and missile fire from the ''Odessa'' to destroy the ''Francisco'' outright - at which point her sister ship fled the Denebola system, leaving the [[Thirty-fourth Marik Militia]] to attempt to resist the invasion without naval support.<ref name="FSWp29"/>

The Thirty-fourth had taken up residence in the battered facilities that had once been the home base of the SLDF [[282nd Mechanized Infantry Division]], and were still settling in when the Lyrans invaded. At the request of [[Colonel]] [[Hoshi DeWitt]], the commanding officer of the Fourteenth, the ''Odessa'' and ''Porrima'' moved into orbit above Denebola and subjected the Thirty-fourth's base to a two-hour orbital bombardment that destroyed more than half the Marik forces outright. Having already lost a [[company]] of forces to Hegemony guerrillas, two companies of mixed armor and infantry forces from the Thirty-fourth went to ground and would spend months engaged in raids and resistance against the Fourteenth Lyran Guards, but the bulk of the survivors from the Thirty-fourth surrendered within two days of the Fourteenth's landing.<ref name="FSWp29"/>
