Dissatisfied with the truce his father had signed with Jowston, Luca Bright would orchestrate the slaughter of the [[Unicorn Brigade]] and pinned the blame on the City-State in order to justify the invasion of Jowston and the start of the [[Dunan Unification War]], a conflict designed purely to feed Luca's lust for power.

After capturing [[Jowy Atreides]], who had infiltrated the camp to ascertain Highland supplies on behalf on [[Muse City]], Luca convinced Jowy to assassinate Mayor [[Anabelle]] and throw open the gates of the town, leading to its quick annexation.
