−	Arriving on [[Vanra]], Rahal once again prepared defensive positions alongside the Ninth Marik Militia and [[First Orloff Grenadiers]], with the two Militia units setting up outside the city of Sofia. When Wolf's Dragoons and the [[Fourth Regulan Hussars]] invaded in January [[3015]], the militia units put up a fierce fight before the Regulans suddenly betrayed the Dragoons and threw the battle into disarray. Unprepared for this turn of events, the Marik Militia were unable to respond fast enough as the Dragoons destroyed the Fourth Hussars and rapidly withdrew. Racing after the apparently fleeing mercenaries, both the Ninth and Sixth Militias were caught in the open and destroyed as fighting units when the Dragoons wheeled around and attacked them head on.<ref name=HBWp29>''Historical: Brush Wars'', pp. 29—30: "Vanra"</ref>

Forewarned by the arrival of the retreating [[Ninth Marik Militia]], Rahal's troops took up positions around the planet's primary [[StarCorps]] facility in the city of Ivanograd while the Militia's substantial [[Aerospace|aerospace]] assets prepared to fight off Anton's landing force. Despite these preparations, the combined might of the [[FWLS Falcon's Nest|FWLS ''Falcon's Nest'']], two elite [[Wing (Military Unit)|wings]] of traitor fighters, and the aerospace element of [[Wolf's Dragoons]] quickly cost the Sixth Militia orbital supremacy. The majority of Wolf's Dragoons made Rahal's defenses around Ivanograd their primary target but the next two weeks of fighting demonstrated the effectiveness of Rahal's men; in particular, the [[Assault 'Mech|Assault 'Mechs]] of the Militia's Death Watch Brigade did much to stop the mercenaries from making any gains.<ref name=HBWp21/> The fatal blow to Rahal's defenders came when the Dragoons discovered an undefended drainage tunnel that, while not capable of granting the mercenaries access to the StarCorps facility itself, would allow them to surpass the Militia's defensive perimeter. A special force lead by [[Lieutenant]] [[Natasha Kerensky]] successfully broke through this tunnel and took [[Force Commander]] [[Ethan Epstein]]'s [[Battalion|battalion]] completely by surprise. As Epstein maneuvered to counter Kerensky's force, the main Dragoons assault took advantage of the growing gap in the Militia's lines and broke through before Rahal could deliver the Death Watch Brigade to help. While the Death Watch Brigade and Wilhelm's Fire Battalion retreated out of Ivanograd in good order, Epstein and his battalion died when their positions were overrun by the Dragoons' [[Alpha Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Alpha Regiment]]. When the Ninth Marik Militia lost their battle for the planet's capital, Rahal decided to abandon Emris IV and took the Sixth Militia to [[Sophie's World]].<ref name=HBWp21/> Upon reaching Sophie's World, Rahal's Sixth Militia united with the [[First Atrean Dragoons]] and [[Head Hunters]] [[Mercenary|mercenary]] battalion in order to bog down the rebels' advance with prolonged fighting. Facing off against the [[Third Marik Militia]] and two regiments of Wolf's Dragoons, the fighting quickly achieved the loyalists' objective by locking three of Anton's key units in the battle for the planet. The fighting between Rahal's Sixth Militia and the rebel Third Militia was noted for being particularly brutal, with both sides offering no mercy to the other.<ref name=HBWp23>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 23: "Sophie's World"</ref> The tides turned against the Sixth Militia and its allies once more when the Dragoons' Alpha Regiment arrived on Sophie's World in late 3014.
