Line 112: In the belief that his forces held the upper hand, Prince John landed in the valley near the capital city's spaceport along with the Guards, but became suspicious as soon as his troops had disembarked, just five kilometers away from the spaceport. When he observed that the majority of the [[DropShip]]s sitting at the spaceport were civilian vessels in obvious disrepair, rather than DCMS military transports, he quickly ordered the Guards to fall back - barely ahead of a nuclear explosion that consumed the site. The Guards lost a [[company]] of 'Mechs and a [[squadron]] of aerospace fighters to the blast, but Prince John was able to board a DropShip before the blast hit, ordering his troops to evacuate rapidly. As the Guards and their supporting conventional forces lifted off, hostile fighters swept over the landing area, attempting to down the Guards transports, while above the planet the two ''Barons'' returned to attack the ''Duke Henry'' and ''Edmund Davion'' again, this time with the addition of the [[Omodaka|DCS ''Omodaka'']], a ''[[Narukami (WarShip class)|Narukami II]]''-class destroyer that had been lurking in hiding on the far side of Cartago.<ref name="FSWp40"/> In the belief that his forces held the upper hand, Prince John landed in the valley near the capital city's spaceport along with the Guards, but became suspicious as soon as his troops had disembarked, just five kilometers away from the spaceport.
