Serving as a cautionary tale on liabilities of Lyran's trademark [[Social General]]s, arrogant CO Thanom Hammerskjold's questionable plan relied on overpowering the Liao unit with superior numbers, only for the Warrior House troops to consistently outmaneuver and lure the heavier RCT in endless ambushes, forcing to Third to overextend their forces and allowing the Imarra troops to inflict significant losses. While more capable members of the units command staff began to take over and adapted their tactics to counter the Capellans, [[Archon]] [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]]'s succession of the [[Lyran Alliance]] and recall of Lyran units prompted the Third to return home.<ref name=ER3062-35/>

The seventh company of the [[Third Donegal Guards]] was accidentally left behind when [[House Steiner]]-affiliated [[Federated Commonwealth]] commands were withdrawn from the Chaos March. With six of them killed and four missing in action, only Leftenant Kelly Van Lou and company commander Hauptmann Roland Mills remain in a three-sided fight with local forces and the [[First FedCom RCT]]. Trying to find a DropShip to evacuate from Gan Singh, they encounter the Donegal Guards' ''[[Seeker]]''-class DropShip ''[[Lamprey (Individual Seeker-class DropShip)|Lamprey]]'' but realize at the last moment that the DropShip is trying to trap them. Van Lou and Mills subsequently team up with mercenaries they had been fighting before, to perhaps reach another DropShip together.<ref name=RTE/>
