The Siege of Arshile was a month-long building-to-building battle on the planet Arshile.

Overview

The Siege of Arshile began in the pre-dawn hours of December 7th, 2237, with several surface teams deployed from orbital warships deactivating the anti-orbital defenses, before an orbital bombardment leveled the remaining orbital defense sites. Immediately afterwards, the surviving ground teams assaulted and captured the spaceports, reinforced by fresh forces from orbit. As soon as the marines controlled the landing fields, members of the Seventh Division deployed by shuttle to the landing pads, before assaulting the nearby cities.

The next four weeks involved elements of the division combating local-grown militias and members of the Sovereign Colonies Armed Forces. After the first month, the Seventh Division began to go house-to-house rounding up remaining members of the SCAF and militia over the next few weeks.
