The MAF assets, used to fighting ragtag Periphery units, drastically underestimated the skill and cohesion of a Capellan Warrior House. Dai Da Chi gave no quarter to the invading forces, crashing a commandeered shuttle into a Harcourt's Aliens armor transport before the fighting truly started, as well as skillfully managing an elastic defense and bleeding the Light Horse and Aliens effectively in the few engagements that the Warrior House permitted. Caesar's Cohorts performed much better, only losing around ten percent of their committed forces - by the end of the year, the Light Horse and Aliens had taken around twenty five percent losses, although Dai Da Chi had sustained fifty percent losses from the all the fighting on-planet by December 3030. By that time, the MAF forces had taken control of much of the agricultural infrastructure of Drozan (although their holdings had been successfully infiltrated by Dai Da Chi operatives), with the Warrior House stubbornly protecting the mountain strongholds and population centers.<ref name=HBWp55 />

During the first half of [[3031]] the fighting degenerated mainly into sporadic raiding by Dai Da Chi, while the MAF forces waged a mainly defensive campaign. Angered by MAF commander [[Cynthia Evans (Magistracy of Canopus)|Cynthia Evans]]' reluctance to attack the Warrior House in force, Caesar's Cohorts commander [[Worrell Orosco]] began offensive operations in May. However, by July it became clear that these operations had failed to inflict serious damage to Dai Da Chi, with the Cohorts instead suffering badly from the repeated clashes. After this fact became apparent, the MAF line units joined the attack and made surprising progress. Meeting with little resistance throughout the month, by the 3rd of August Drozan was declared under Canopian control and Dai Da Chi was deemed destroyed. In reality, the Warrior House had simply abandoned its static holdings and begun preparations for a guerrilla war.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 61</ref>

In March of [[3032]], after the MAF had landed more troops and begun using Drozan as a staging point, Dai Da Chi made a surprising return along with elements of the [[1st Liao Dragoons]]. The unexpected attack severely bloodied the MAF forces planetside, who were forced to retreat and abandon much of their territory. Caesar's Cohorts, who were still posted on Drozan, offered brief resistance before evacuating to [[Andarmax]] while the rest of the MAF forces escaped to [[New Roland]].<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 63</ref>
