During the invasion of [[Imbrial III]] the Longhorns decided to defect to the [[Federated Suns]], bringing valuable intelligence on the [[DCMS]] presence in the Imbrial system with them. [[First Prince of the Federated Suns|First Prince]] [[John Davion]]'s second plan - a massive naval response under the operational command of [[Admiral]] [[Kenneth Jones]] - saw a large naval task force target Imbrial III as their first target, striking in early [[2790]], attempting to catch the [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]] ships in the system before they had recovered from the initial battle to capture the planet. Although the task force only stayed in the system for a week before moving on to the next target, the strike was successful, destroying four attack [[DropShip]]s, two transport [[JumpShip]]s and a pair of ''[[Congress]]''-class frigates, the [[Halland (Individual Congress-class WarShip)|DCS ''Halland'']] and [[Stockholm (Individual Congress-class WarShip)|DCS ''Stockholm'']].<ref name="FSWp41A">''First Succession War'', pp. 41-42: "Cholame"</ref>
