===War of 3057 and independence===
In [[3057]], [[Loren Jaffray]], son of one of the Highlander families that had remained in the [[Capellan Confederation]], arrived on Northwind with an offer from Chancellor [[Sun-Tzu Liao]]: he would recognize the independence of the planet should the Highlanders leave the [[Federated Commonwealth]]'s service. Matters came to a head when [[Operation GUERRERO]] was launched by the Confederation and the [[Free Worlds League]], a major invasion of the [[Sarna March]]. This led to the secession of the [[Lyran Alliance]].

MacLeod ordered those Highlander units protecting the Alliance/[[Clan]] border to return to Northwind, a decision that led to a minor rebellion among his own troops who wanted to stay in the employ of [[House Davion]]. The [[Battle of Northwind (3057)]] was a hard fight, and it worsened when the [[Third Royal Guards]] RCT landed on Northwind, seeking to ensure the Highlanders remained in the Federated Commonwealth's employ. With Jaffray's assistance, MacLeod was able to reunite the Highlanders, and with the timely arrival of [[Stirling's Fusiliers]] they were able to drive the Royals off the planet. Northwind was independent for the first time in centuries.<ref>''Highlander Gambit''</ref>
