The Anglo Isles first appear in Campaign 1, where the Anglo forces launch a pre-emptive strike against the [[Solar Empire]], who they believed was in possession of a super-weapon.

As the Solars scramble to mount a defence against this surprise attack, Anglo [[Commander Pierce]] is having second thoughts about this rumored super-weapon. As the first campaign wraps up, Solar [[Admiral A-Qira]] demands a war of vengeance against the Anglo invaders, and enlists the help of their old allies, the [[Tundran Territories]].
