In addition to the Shiloh Protectorate Militia, the Blakists had also moved the [[6th Free Worlds Legionnaires]] and a contingent from one of the [[Shadow Divisions]] onto Shiloh. As a result, when the Lyran front forces landed, the [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[1st Army (ComStar)|1st Army]] suffered heavy losses at the hands of the ''[[Manei Domini]]''.

Following the retreat from Shiloh, forces from Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon worked together, initially using one of Shiloh's moons as a rallying point; the two Clans set aside their traditional rivalry and antagonism to execute a combined drop onto the main Word of Blake base of operations on Shiloh. They then held the drop zone in the face of Blakist counterattacks and two tactical nuclear strikes, allowing the remaining Lyran forces to land. The successful liberation of Shiloh was announced in a news broadcast by [[Myra Kellison]] on the 18th of July 3077, who hailed the remarkable situation of rival clans working together to protect Lyran forces against a common enemy as a tantalizing sign of hope that a peaceful coexistence between opposing factions may be possible.<ref name="JHS:Tp29"/>
