Admiral [[Gillian McMasters]] executed a brilliant maneuver with her '''Operation UMBRA''' by analyzing reconnaissance data and civilian reports on Combine traffic patterns to determine that Kuritan transports were gathered at New Avalon's nadir jump point. She devised a plan to attack the transports, knowing that if they were uncertain whether New Avalon's [[zenith jump point]] was also under attack, they would follow protocols and jump to ''Coloma'' to gather reinforcements. The plan succeeded, and the AFFS fleet captured nearly twenty vessels, including the [[Wayward Son]], leaving the Twenty-Second stranded. This allowed Prince Julian to move all of Task Force Dawn in one jump.<ref name="ddp23"/><ref>''The Damocles Sanction'' p. 36-42</ref>

While ''Toranaga'' fortified his position, the captured JumpShips were brought to Argyle, crewed, and loaded. On June 7th 3151, Task Force Dawn arrived at New Avalon, and Prince Julian broadcasted his return to the system and urged ''Toranaga'' to surrender peacefully. However, the ''kanrei'' did not respond, and riots erupted across the planet. Angry civilians beat Combine officials to death, and within three days, the Combine only controlled ''Avalon City'', where ''Toranaga'' and the [[Fifth Sword of Light]] were holed up, and [[Ryuken-hachi]] manned the [[Corean Enterprises]] factory.<ref name="ddp23"/>
