A multi-Clan fleet arrived in the Circe system on the 30th of October and, after a bargaining process that saw the Cloud Cobras gain the honor of leading the attack, which they began by driving two Naval Stars directly at the planetary SDS network. The Cloud Cobras lost four WarShips in the assault - the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Consequence|CCS ''Consequence'']], the ''[[Vincent (WarShip class)|Vincent Mark 42]]''-class corvettes [[Hertzog's Staff|CCS ''Hertzog's Staff'']], the ''[[Fredasa (WarShip class)|Fredasa]]''-class corvette [[Perdition's Flame|CCS ''Perdition's Flame'']] and the ''[[Potemkin]]''-class cruiser [[True Sight|CCS ''True Sight'']] - but succeeded in creating a gap in the network, allowing the landing operation to begin. As the Steel Vipers launched a flanking attack the Goliath Scorpions blocked the Viper forces, and the greater part of two hundred DropShips dropped to the surface of Circe.<ref name="WoRp150"/>

The initial landing was bloody for the Blood Spirits, who lost nearly half their forces on the initial approach when a number of ground batteries that hadn't been identified earlier ripped into their approach corridor. The Blood Spirits silenced one battery by dropping [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Alpha Galaxy]] directly onto the shallow hill it was located, where they were quickly joined by the Cloud Cobra [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Cloud Cobra)|Delta Galaxy]]. From this inauspicious beginning the combined Blood Spirit and Cloud Cobra forces moved north and captured the enclaves at Ides, Oberon and Wales before being slowed by a Circian storm. The Steel Vipers used the storm as cover, moving their Beta Galaxy into position to attack the Blood Spirit forces; Beta Galaxy broke the Blood Spirit [[Tau Provisional Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Tau Galaxy]] before the arrival of several Cloud Cobra aerospace [[squadron]]s from Delta Galaxy blunted the Steel Viper attack.<ref name="WoRp150"/>
