When Lyran intelligence discovered that much of the garrison of Oliver had been mobilized and sent away to search for Snord's Irregulars in the confusion created by their attack on Holt, the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] acted quickly to try and capitalize on this weak spot by launching an attack against Oliver. Although not a move coordinated with [[Cranston Snord]], it was just the diversion Snord needed to make it back across the border to Clinton, where he reappeared with his unit four months after the raid.<ref name=CSI5>''Cranston Snord's Irregulars'', p. 5</ref> | |
