Despite the dire circumstances, the situation slowly began to change. In [[3149]], the Kuritans' mistreatment of mercenaries caused them to lose the [[Wolf's Dragoons]], depriving them of almost five full regiments. Weakened, the Kuritans were unable to expand the ''Tongue'' region further, and even the Federation raids, such as [[Operation Perceval|Operation PERCEVAL]], caused them significant harm. Julian focused his efforts on retaking New Syrtis, and with the assistance of the Republic of the Sphere, they managed to recapture Robinson as well. The only planet left was New Avalon, and both sides concentrated all their efforts to either free or keep the crucial planet. Despite the dire circumstances, the situation slowly began to change.

On May 17th 3151, a large fleet of ''Federated Suns'' JumpShips launched a surprise attack on the [[nadir jump point]] of ''New Avalon''. The fleet quickly overwhelmed the defenders with a swarm of assault DropShips, fighters, and transports filled with marines. The assault was focused on the ''Draconis Combine'''s JumpShips, particularly the larger carriers like the [[Star Lord]] and [[Monolith]] class vessels. While most of the Combine ships managed to jump away, some were captured in rapid boarding actions.<ref name="ddp23">''Dominions Divided'' p. 23</ref> <ref>''The Damocles Sanction'' p. 20</ref> On May 17th 3151, a large fleet of ''Federated Suns'' JumpShips launched a surprise attack on the [[nadir jump point]] of ''New Avalon''.
