−	Colonel [[Alexander Duff-Gordon]], commander 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 issues a ''batchall'', demanding the return of all Irregulars taken as [[bondsman|bondsmen]], all captured [[Awards#Blue_Star|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.

During the course of the week-long raid the Fourteenth and 1894th battled elements of the [[Third Arkab Legion]] at the port city of Sassari in an hour-long engagement before forcing the Legion to withdraw and looting a number of warehouses of spares and munitions. The Fourteenth and 1894th also conducted a number of air patrols across David during the course of the week, before withdrawing back to Federated Suns space, content that they had gained the measure of the Combine's border defenses.<ref name="FSWp37">''First Succession War'', p. 37: "Holding Back: The Battles for David and Saffel"</ref> Unknown to the Fourteenth or the Blue Star Irregulars, the Third Arkab Legion had deliberately only fought back using half their available forces and had withdrawn from battle intentionally, to give the raiders a misleading impression of the strength of the garrison on David and to prevent the Fourteenth discovering the presence of either the [[Third Dieron Regulars]], concealed in hidden bases deep in the Northern Andropo badlands or the conventional forces hidden in bunkers constructed to look like transient villages dotted along the Fatima River Basin.
