Rummolo led an unconventional campaign from the outset; having obtained approval to destroy the [[HPG]] in the New Earth system, as the need for security - and the need to prevent the [[SDS]] network sharing information on SLDF tactics, techniques and procedures - outweighed the need for the HPG, which could be replaced on a temporary basis by mobile HPG systems. The attack on New Earth began with the three modified civilian vessels, who rained volleys of missiles down on the HPG site as well as key command and control nodes on the planet. Although all three modified civilian DropShips were swiftly destroyed by [[Amaris Empire Armed Forces]] [[aerospace fighter]]s, they managed to hit their targets and played a vital part in the liberation of New Earth.<ref name="H:LOTv2p52"/>
