When [[Protector of the Realm|Protector]] [[Semyon Calderon]] declared the war against the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] the attack on [[Detroit]] was commanded by Marshal Gertrude Blake-Andrews and [[Comptroller]] [[Augustin Shapiro]] as second in command attacked [[Herotitus]]. Under the protection of escorting [[aerospace fighter]]s, Blake-Andrews landed the [[Red Chasseurs]], two armor [[regiment]]s and two [[infantry]] regiments on Detroit, before attempting to engage the defending Canopian forces. Detroit's most notable military targets consisted largely of either spaceports or mining complexes, and Blake-Andrew's forces and the Magistracy of Canopus garrison started chasing each other across the planet. After Blake-Andrews forces avoided falling into a major ambush prepared by the Canopians near the port city of Dearborn, the tempo of operations on both sides dropped, settling into a series of traps and countertraps that both sides continually avoided falling into.<ref name="FSWp102">''First Succession War'', p. 102, "Detroit"</ref>

The swift Canopian retaliation for the invasions, along with news of the disastrous battle for Herotitus, resulted in a quickly-negotiated truce signed on Detroit in February [[2814]], which included an agreement that Detroit, Herotitus and Spencer should all be reaffirmed as demilitarized system. The prisoners captured on the various worlds involved were repatriated, and Semyon was widely scorned by the media of both nations.<ref name="FSWp103">''First Succession War'', p. 103, "Aftermath"</ref> By the time word of the truce reached Detroit, neither side was engaging in more than probing raids and brief defensive actions.<ref name="FSWp102"/>
