Line 17: Military intelligence received by the Federated Suns had led the [[AFFS]] to believe that Tentativa was a weak and easily taken, and Task Force Four seized the system quickly. Admiral Vincent then took Task Force Four to the [[Pierce]] system, quickly capturing that system as well. Unbeknownst to both the Federated Suns intelligence agencies and Admiral Pierce, the Task Force was being observed by [[Taurian Concordat]] forces and false operations launched by the Taurians in the Pierce and [[Caldwell]] systems were intended to lure the Federated Suns navy into just such actions. The Taurian navy launched a counterattack in the [[Panpour]] system, inflicting heavy damage on the Federated Suns naval forces there, before jumping into the Tentativa system. There, the Taurian forces lay in wait in various points around the system, and when Task Force Four jumped back into the Tentativa system, split between the zenith and nadir [[jump point]]s, the Taurians launched an ambush.<ref name="H:RWp67+"/> Military intelligence received by the Federated Suns had led the [[AFFS]] to believe that Tentativa was a weak and easily taken, and Task Force Four seized the system quickly.
