History
Major Archal, serving with the Third Canopian Fusiliers, was stationed on Marantha in 3025.[1]
Andurien Secession
On 9 November 3030, Archal and the Third Fusiliers invaded the Capellan world of Gunthar as part of the Andurien Secession, exepcting to bribe the defending Fifteenth Dracon Regiment into abandoning the planet. Instead, the Capellan mercenaries rebuked Archal's offer and launched a surprise attack on the Fusiliers' bridgehead and were only stopped from annihilating Archal's force by the heavy guns of the Fusiliers' DropShips. With the Canopians weakened, both sides settled into a war of raiding and counter-raiding, leaving Archal waiting for reinforcements as the year came to a close.[2]
3031 saw the stalemate on Gunthar continue, as Archal's troops refused to meet the Fifteenth Dracon in large-scale combat while the Fifteenth Dracon failed to bait the Third Fusiliers into meeting them in the open. Only two major engagements were fought between the two sides that year, with the first being a 7 April clash between a Dracon reconnaissance company and a Fusiliers armor force that saw six Capellan 'Mechs destroyed at the cost of twenty Canopian tanks. The second engagement, fought on 14 September, saw a Canopian raid against the fortress of Riedam succeed in destroying a large amount of Dracon resources at the cost of nearly a company of 'Mechs.[3]
