	In May 3029 reinforcements for the Tenth arrived, in the form of the [[First Lyran Regulars]].

By mid-July, the First had reached the outskirts of Bono, giving the Tenth an opportunity to make their own attack.

The DCMS deployed the '''Twenty-fifth Rasalhague Regulars''' to The Edge; while less experienced than the veterans of the Tenth Donegal Guards, the troops of the Twenty-fifth were fresh.<ref name="NAIS4SWp59">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 59: "Follow-up Invasions"</ref><ref name="NAIS4SWp61">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 61: "End of the Offensive"</ref> When the lull in major operations settled across the Lyran Commonwealth front in early [[3029]], the Donegal Guards had been stalemated by the Twenty-fifth a few kilometers away from Bono, the planetary capital city. With Bono being both the capital city and the industrial heart of the planet the Twenty-fifth Rasalhague Regulars had fought a stubborn campaign of resistance, leaving the Donegal Guards with secure positions south and east of the city on high ground, facing pits, trenches and large minefields that the Regulars continued to expand. Unable to push into the city without destroying it and unable to launch a flanking attack without giving up the high ground, the Guards resorted to daily artillery bombardments and waited.<ref name="FSWMAv2p68">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', pp. 68–69: "The Edge"</ref> In May 3029 reinforcements for the Tenth arrived, in the form of the [[First Lyran Regulars]].
