A week later the Commando landed on [[Independence]] near the Caldera Fields. They quickly deployed and destroyed two companies of militia tanks. They then marched to an enemy base.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Fronc Reaches'', p. 28</ref> During that march elements of the [[Colonial Marshals]] engaged the Commando to slow them down and give the base time to prepare. However this didn't work because only a few recon elements from the Commando were lured out of position.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Fronc Reaches'', p. 29</ref>

The Commando attacked a Colonial Marshal base in a caldera.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Fronc Reaches'', p. 30</ref> Most of these pirates attacked from the expected front edge, but several of the Commando, using captured Colonial Marshal equipment and painted as Marshals, were able to trick their way behind the Marshal's lines and attack from within. Despite outnumbering the Marshals, the pirates were vulnerable to the higher skill levels of the Marshals and their morale broke when reinforcements arrived.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Fronc Reaches'', p. 32</ref> These withdrawing units would have been destroyed but a combat drop by ''[[Shen-sè Tian]]'' forced the Marshals to break contact. This allowed Calderon's Commando to rally and regroup. They turned to reengage the Colonial Marshals.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Fronc Reaches'', pp. 33–34</ref>

After two days of intense combat, Calderon's Commando and the other pirate bands left Independence, having sustained heavy losses. The Commando lost one of their [[JumpShip]]s and two thirds of their force. This led the survivors to hang Marshal von Staskov and relocate to a hidden system between the [[Calderon Protectorate]] and [[Taurian Concordat]].<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Fronc Reaches'', pp. 35–37</ref>
