Following the eruption of the [[Amaris Coup]], a combination of hostages held on [[Terra]], thinly-veiled threats from [[Stefan Amaris]] and the deathbed orders of [[Takiro Kurita]] forced [[Coordinator]] [[Minoru Kurita (28th c.)|Minoru Kurita]] to close the borders of the [[Draconis Combine]] to the [[Star League Defense Force]] led by [[Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|Commanding General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]]. Whilst this forced Kerensky to invade several Combine systems to regain access to SLDF facilities, Minoru ordered the [[DCMS]] units facing the SLDF forces to fight for a few minutes only, before executing orderly retreats. Some DCMS personnel went further still, defecting as ''ronin'' to the SLDF. Amongst those who defected were a trio of Combine [[WarShip]]s: the ''Shizuoka'' and another battleship, the [[DCS Kumamoto|DCS ''Kumamoto'']], and the carrier [[Seoul|DCS ''Seoul'']]. The ''Seoul'' had been damaged, and the ''Kumamoto'' and ''Shizuoka'' served as her escorts.<ref name="HB:HKp38">''Handbook: House Kurita'', p. 38: "The Long Night of Turning"</ref>
