Here the Guards faced the Second Falcon Jaegers and the 5th Battle Cluster with the assistance of the planetary population. The latter factor allowed the Guards to gain the upper hand and force the Jade Falcon forces off world.[1]

Star Colonel Geoff Mercer moved to take the city. As the Guards approached through the only mountain pass they were ambushed by Society bandits. The bandits brought down part of the mountainside on top of the Guards, blocking the pass and killing a third of the Second's warriors including Star Colonel Mercer. The second was forced to withdraw. Galaxy Commander Hoskins then order the orbital bombardment of Gehenna City and other settlements across the planet, leaving few alive when Alpha departed.[2]
