When APOTHEOSIS began at 1700 hours Terran Standard Time on the 27th of December, due to an error or incompetence on the part of the [[Rim Worlds Army]] commander on the ground, [[General]] [[Tolstin Eukai]], the Republican naval forces secured both jump points in the system according to schedule, but the Republican forces on the ground failed to secure the planetary [[HPG]]. With communications in the system still active and the [[SLDF]] still in control of all four [[Castle Brian|Castles Brian]], distress signals from the jump points reached Dieron seventy-five minutes after Eukai's forces should have begun moving. As soon as the distress signals were received, both Tellman and the Planetary Governor, [[Paolo Varellas]], declared a state of emergency. Varellas encouraged all of the citizens of Dieron to implement peaceful resistance against the occupation; General Tellman opened the Castles Brian to those who wished to flee the Republican occupation, while directing the few SLDF combat units on Dieron in a holding action against the Rim Worlds forces.<ref name="H:LoTV1p82+"/>

Tellman's actions ensured that the Republican forces couldn't immediately occupy the various Castles Brian, particularly Fort Hallik, site of the headquarters for the SLDF [[14th Army (Star League)|14th Army]], and bought time for tens of thousands to take shelter within the Castles before the Castles were sealed. The Republicans used a combination of conventional and nuclear strikes to destroy communications arrays and sever the various SLDF communications links, as well as preventing the SLDF from keeping control of the local [[Space Defense System]]; Tellman ordered the auxiliary command centers for the [[SDS]] to be destroyed in response, preventing the Republicans from gaining access to the SDS. While the Republican forces secured control of most of Dieron, tens of thousands of regular, reserve and retired members of the SLDF amongst the population took up arms, forming perhaps the most dangerous anti-Republic resistance movement within the boundaries of the former Terran Hegemony.<ref name="H:LoTV1p82+"/>
