Kyrie Ben-Shimon ordered the Cluster to make a charge on the southern flank of the besieging Clan Coyote forces. While the Sixteenth Scorpion Dragoons and the Third Cuirassiers fought off a Coyote air attack the Uhlans and the rest of Gamma pursued the retreating ground forces. The Coyotes fell back to a terrain of broken forest where they turned to face their pursuers. Close quarter fighting broke out and the Coyotes were reinforced by ProtoMechs and BattleMechs of two additional Clusters. Slowly the Uhlans were whittled down until they found themselves overwhelmed. Kyrie Ben-Shimon was killed in this fighting and the Galaxy was forced to retreat off planet with heavy loss.<ref name=WoR124>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 124: "Scorpion Gambit"</ref> − − The survivors of the Cluster formed up with the remnant of Gamma Galaxy, together with Beta Galaxy and the bulk of the Clan's fleet and were ordered back to Foster in June [[3073]], however they found it empty except for Clan Steel Viper. A Trial of Possession was launched for two of the Viper holdings and the Scorpions granted ''[[safcon]]''. The trials were fought honorably, but the killing of the Vipers' commanding officer sparked all-out fighting with no quarter given, which ended when the Scorpions called in orbital bombardment against the Viper positions.<ref name=WoR124/> The fighting on Foster shattered the Uhlans and they were disbanded along with Gamma Galaxy.
