− Compared to the desperate battle during the approach, the fighting on the ground was fairly routine, with the Lancers assigned to help encircle and isolate the [[1st Skye Jaegers]] in Basingstoke City. Maintaining steady progress at first, stiff resistance resulted in the Lancers closing the gap a day behind schedule, allowing most of the Jaegers to escape and delaying the liberation of Gallatin by weeks. The Lancers moved on with the rest of the League task force to drive the Lyrans from [[Rexburg]], [[Pingree]] before arriving on [[Sheridan]] where the mercenaries’ supposedly secure landing zones came under intense artillery attack from the mercenary [[Thor's Hammers]] just as they were halfway through disembarking. While suffering heavy casualties, the Lancers were eventually victorious on Sheridan, and with the Lyran forces increasingly on the back foot, then proceeded to swiftly capture [[McAffe]]. The Lancers then received orders to remain in position, becoming the planet's assigned garrison force. <ref name=MSU/> + Compared to the desperate battle during the approach, the fighting on the ground was fairly routine, with the Lancers assigned to help encircle and isolate the [[1st Skye Jaegers]] in Basingstoke City.
