Infuriated, Khan [[Patrik Fetladral]] challenged Hazen to single combat three days later. Seeing no reason to honor the challenge from an Abjured Clan warrior, Hazen responded by ordering her command Star to focus all fire on the Elemental. Rather than seek revenge, saKhan [[Miriam Shaw]] ordered the [[1st Wolf Legion (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|First Wolf Legion Cluster]] to buy time for the Clan to evacuate its remaining personnel and assets to [[Donegal]] at the same time the Kell Hounds withdrew, leaving Arc-Royal in Falcon hands.

***Old Connaught: Planetary capital on the shores of Lachan Lake. Old Connaught is a city with the appearance of a homey small town reminiscent of nineteenth-century Germany. During the thirty-first century most of the city's inhabitants are proud of their Lyran heritage and their link to the Kell Hounds, who were stewards for the planet.  Kell Hound troops, often backed by Lyran military or local police, were a common sight on the streets, but few find their presence intimidating. Mercenaries arriving on Arc-Royal had to register with the Old Connaught's Visitors Center at the nearby spaceport, where they could also stow their machines and leave all but one sidearm before venturing into the city. This kept the atmosphere in the capital peaceful, even with local Clansmen visiting the city.<ref name=HBHSp84/><ref name=TRp37>''Tamar Rising'', p. 37: "Old Connaught: Blood and Fury"</ref>
