Over the time the assault and attacks were successful but the intelligence agents failed to discover that the DCMS had send the seasoned command as regular defense force to the world. The underground movement get help from Miller Marauder, which were on the world to win the planet for the AFFS. The arrival came as an shock to the resistance leader, but they act immediately with coordinated attacks around the surface. The confusion doesn't last long. The DCMS unit routed several resistance cells out and cut off the AFFS mercenaries from their awaiting DropShips. The Marauders decided to hold the line and to save as many soldiers as they could. With the arrival of 3 DCMS infantry regiments the situation turned worse for the AFFS side once again. The Marauders lost over 50 percent of their fighting strength during the retreat from that world. The anti-DCMS movement fought for several more weeks but a huge number were taken prisoner. Several hundred of them were executed for conspiracy and treason against the Combine. [2]

The leaders of the AFFS command expected the arrival from DCMS reinforcement soon but couldn't find a way to break the enemy even with superior numbers. The situation for DCMS changed when the Ryuken-yon landed with their conventional forces. The resistance of the local population made the fight for the AFFS tougher.
