Line 24: After taking heavy losses the [[Eighth Galedon Regulars]] were forced to withdraw. They pressed their technicians into service as a rear guard, forming the ad-hoc [[Galedon Tech Defense League]], which due to their inexperience suffered ninety-one percent losses. Reeling from the resultant lack of technical teams the Combine forces on Galtor started refusing prisoner ransom and exchanges of captured noncombatants, a standard practice in the Succession Wars, and forced captured AFFS techs to work on Combine machines. Before they were to be moved off planet the [[MIIO] located the prison camp and planned an extraction. Instead of a straightforward [[VTOL]] or [[BattleMech]] rescue, [[Major]] Baum - with the approval of [[Director of MIIO|Acting-Director of MIIO]] [[Quintus Allard]] - devised a plan using twelve captured Combine [[Skulker (Combat Vehicle)|Skulkers]] and other wheeled support vehicles transports. Moving out under cover of a diversionary assault, the Task Force Baum convoy met with initial success at stay clandestine they were eventually betrayed by false challenge and passwords planted by Combine counterintelligence. The convoy quickly lost five Skulkers and all support vehicles before shattering, only to be hunted down individually.
