Davion forces raid settlements near Sungate Citadel

 January 7th 2841:
Davion forces have been raiding settlements near Sungate Citadel in the Southern Filn Lake Region for several days now attacking outlying farms and homes in the area.  The raiders have consisted of a lance of light and medium Davion mechs and a few hover tanks.

 After hitting several locations in the area the Davion raiders were intercepted by the mysterious mercenary force that has been acting in the region.

 It has been widely rumored that the mercenaries have been working for the government of Sungate Citadel and although those rumors are still unconfirmed this skirmish would indicate that they have an interest in defending the settlements in the vicinity of the city.

Davion forces in the area have been involved in fighting between the unknown mercenary forces and the Bloodhound Mercenary company on the side of the bloodhounds.  No one knows exactly why the Davion forces were attacking the settlements.  It has been reported that they were avoiding civilian casualties targeting mostly structures and heavy equipment.  It is possible they were trying to draw the mercenaries out of Sungate Citadel to prove that is where they were coming from.  If that is the case they were successful.
