On planet in September 19th, Cuirassiers' task force fought Kincade's Rangers for control of the world. The task force had high confidence it could over power the Rangers. However, the Task force mates encounter heavy resistance from the Rangers. Cuirassiers only took light damage while the Light Horse took heavy damage from elements of the Rangers. The fighting continued into late October, where Cuirassiers' task force had control of majority of the planet. However, Rangers continued to resistance through guerrilla warfare tactics including attack its members of the regiments in streets of the cities.

Ferocity of the Capellan assault was staggering, Cuirassiers themselves took moderated damage. It were not for the efforts of Caesar's Cohorts, the Task force would have been worse condition. The unit had lost must of its equipment and supplies in withdraws from oncoming Capellan forces. The mercenaries after repulsing several assaults, withdrew from the planet believing they were doomed if they stayed. The Cuirassiers soon followed with the rest of battered Task Force Duo, and headed for New Rolands to regroup.[6]
