Benboudaoud's efforts had failed in large part due to the inherent suspicion of the local population towards the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] forces assigned to the system, the active opposition of the Rim Worlds forces by Planetary Governor [[Titus Clay]] and [[Major General]] [[Carlos Kataga]] of the [[SLDF]], and the fast, decisive manner in which local authorities and the military on New Dallas responded to those incidents intended to allow the Rim Worlds forces to entrench themselves on New Dallas and prepare for the beginning of APOTHESIS. This had led to the military forces on New Dallas defeating Benboudaoud's heavily-outnumbered forces and retaining control of much of the local SDS network; Republican Warship forces had secured both jump points and the SDS drones controlled from the stations there, but the eight-strong WarShip squadron which had been assigned to the New Dallas system had been destroyed in a six-hour battle with the New Dallas SDS network.<ref name="H:LoTV1p83+"/>

After arriving in the New Dallas system on the 7th of January [[2767]] Idowu added the captured SDS drones to his own forces and travelled to New Dallas, arriving in orbit on the 14th. Idowu then engaged and destroyed the surviving SLDF SDS drones with his own forces before issuing a demand that Governor Clay and the defenders of New Dallas surrender to the rule of Emperor [[Stefan Amaris]] within twenty-four hours. Clay responded by ordering the New Dallas [[AeroSpace Fighter]] squadrons to attack Idowu's fleet, an action that bought New Dallas a few hours before the heavily outnumbered and outgunned squadrons were destroyed.<ref name="H:LoTV1p83+"/>

Having secured control of the skies above New Dallas, Idowu proceeded to destroy organized military resistance on the planet by systematically bombarding every SLDF and militia base from orbit, a campaign of sustained orbital bombardment that lasted until the 31st of January, clearing the way for additional ground forces to land and secure the world.<ref name="H:LoTV1p83+"/>
