| - The Ides of March campaign was a joint Federation-Reydovan effort to liberate the Imperial capital of Reydovan Prime from the clutches of the evil Artimus Devaneaux. Orchestrated by Artimus' son, Emperor Kieran I, and carried out by both him and the senior Federation commander, General Jeremiah Neill, the result was the most decisive victory in Imperial history, finally ending the Mad Emperor's reign of bloody terror and bringing the Reydovan Civil War to a triumphant conclusion. The campaign is so named because the majority of the fighting took place on March 15, known as the Ides of March in the ancient Roman calendar.

| - The Ides of March campaign was a joint Federation-Reydovan effort to liberate the Imperial capital of Reydovan Prime from the clutches of the evil Artimus Devaneaux. Orchestrated by Artimus' son, Emperor Kieran I, and carried out by both him and the senior Federation commander, General Jeremiah Neill, the result was the most decisive victory in Imperial history, finally ending the Mad Emperor's reign of bloody terror and bringing the Reydovan Civil War to a triumphant conclusion. The campaign is so named because the majority of the fighting took place on March 15, known as the Ides of March in the ancient Roman calendar. It is of some ironic note that on that very day in 44 BC, exactly 2,420 years earlier, is when Roman dictator Gaius Julius Caesar was assassinated, and it is reported that the survivors of Artimus' daily massacres on Reydovan Prime cried out "Sic semper tyrannis", meaning "Thus always to tyrants", believed to have been the words shouted by one of the senators (or possibly the assassin, Marcus Junius Brutus) following Caesar's assassination.
