The Irregulars and Aces [[aerospace fighter|aerospace fighters]], assisted in a ramming attack by one of the Irregulars [[JumpShips]] which disabled the Falcon WarShip and defeated the Falcon fighters. During the fighting on Quarell, the Avatars were wiped out. [[Colonel]] [[Alexander Duff-Gordon]], commander of the 1894th Light Horse and the Irregulars overall, decided to finally follow Clan traditions to extricate his people. The 1894th captured a large Falcon supply dump, and Colonel Duff-Gordon issued a ''batchall'', demanding the return of all Irregular personnel taken as bondsmen, all captured Blue Star medals, and safe passage back to FedCom space if he won a [[Trial of Possession]], and offering to return the captured WarShip and supplies if he lost. [[Star Colonel]] [[Padrick Shi-Lu]] accepted Duff-Gordon's ''batchall''.  Colonel Duff-Gordon led two lances of Irregulars against Star Colonel Shi-lu and a Star of Falcons.
