Loki agents destroyed sufficient Jumpship capabilities (6 Ships). With such loses the operation were stopped. The DCMS retreat back to combine space.
| |

| − | ===Conclusion===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyrans]] had many things going for them. They had the Rasalhague rebels fomenting insurrection and providing them with intelligence. They had [[Takashi Kurita]]'s distraction with [[Wolf's Dragoons]]. They used these advantages to push the [[Draconis Combine]] back along a very broad front. They took a number of traditionally Rasalhagian worlds from the Combine, though their successes did not match what the [[Federated Suns]] managed to achieve against the [[Capellan Confederation|Capellans]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lyran military doctrine was significantly different than that of the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. Whereas the AFFS executed several different "waves," effectively leapfrogging each other, the Lyrans used their wall of assault 'Mechs and pushed into the Draconis Combine on a very broad front. This was not a tactic that had served the Lyrans well in the past, but circumstances conspired to make it a feasible strategy for the 4th War.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Lyran offensive was stalled when the Combine struck back and scored a couple of worlds that put them within one jump of [[Skye]], a regional capital. Unwilling to continue pressing forward, but unable to reclaim their lost worlds, the Lyran assault ground to a halt.
