Digging in in the face of an anticipated counterattack, AFFS forces outnumbered the remains of the Sixth and [[8th Galedon Regulars|Eighth Galedon Regulars]] sent to retake the planet, inflicting heavy losses thanks to the old-school Kurita tactics practiced by both units. Trapping the Combine forces in the remains of a [[Succession Wars era]] fort, the Rangers only withdrew when [[First Prince]] [[Hanse Davion]] recalled the FedCom forces, but not before they stripped machinery and materials from the manufacturers onworld.<ref name=HWO392>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 91–92</ref>
