When [[Stefan Amaris]] launched [[Amaris Coup|his coup]] on 27 December 2766 on [[Terra]], his forces also swung into action on all other worlds within the [[Terran Hegemony]] and a number of jointly administered worlds, which included Talitha.<ref name=H:LoTV1p80>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 80: "Cometh Hell's Legions"</ref> Despite the Eighth Army being deployed across the Free Worlds League, there were still a large number of personnel from the Eighth Army on Talitha, as well as a substantial number of SLDF personnel within the support and training organizations. These people, primarily administrative, support, and logistics personnel, posed a risk to the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] forces, which had already managed to occupy at least one [[Castle Brian]] on Talitha prior to the coup's beginning.<ref name="H:LoTV1p84+"/>

The Republican forces hadn't been able to establish a foothold within any of the training facilities or the Military Region administrative headquarters, and as a result, when they launched their campaign to take control of Talitha, they bombarded the Castle Brian with multiple nuclear weapons while also hitting various training bases with a combination of nuclear and biological attacks. While these attacks were largely effective, the Republicans didn't manage to hit every training base, nor were they able to track down and hit every location where SLDF equipment was stored; they also failed to capture or destroy all of the war materiel stored across Talitha awaiting shipping to the Periphery front. Talitha subsequently became a hotbed for resistance against the Republican forces and Stefan Amaris, as the SLDF personnel who survived the initial attacks made use of the remaining equipment to form and lead resistance groups across the planet.<ref name="H:LoTV1p84+"/>
