As his Cluster was the main unit defending [[Gienah]], the Empire's capital, probably not Josip or Othar expected to be attacked there... but the facts proved that assumption was wrong: the 6 June [[3152]], the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] elite unit [[Zeta Battalion]] arrived there, in a private raid of their personal war against Clan Wolf. To test Josip's tactical abilities, Othar suggested to send the 91th's [[DropShip]]s to intercept them, but the first opposed the idea, as it will be a disaster. Othar agreed with that, and, as Zeta landed far from the capital, ''Alliago City'', send his Cluster to attack them in their landing area.<ref>''Redemption Rites'' p. 282</ref>
