The [[Lyran Commonwealth]] famously reactivated their ancient battlecruiser [[LCS]] ''[[Invincible (Individual Tharkad-class WarShip)|Invincible]]'' to break through the Combine siege. The [[WarShip]] jumped to the Hesperus system's nadir jump point on 25 October 2853 with six military [[DropShip]]s (the LCS ''[[Droner]]'', LCS ''[[Hayes (Individual Avenger-class DropShip)|Hayes]]'', LCS ''[[Martina]]'', LCS ''[[Pitbull (Individual Intruder-class DropShip)|Pitbull]]'', LCS ''[[Stalker (Individual Leopard CV-class DropShip)|Stalker]]'', and LCS ''[[Ecol]]'') and smashed through the Combine blockade vessels, reportedly destroying them all except for the ''[[Galedon II]]''.<ref>''Tactics of Desperation'' (BattleCorps Scenario)</ref> As it turned out, however, the ''Galedon II'' had actually taken the ''Katana'' and one other DropShip with it on its last-minute jump close to Hesperus II, where they would bolster the planetary blockade fleet against the Lyran onslaught on 10 November.<ref>''Tactics of Desperation II'' (BattleCorps Scenario)</ref>
