Overview
The CCAF attack saw medium lances from Marion's Highlanders engage elements of the Second Regulan Hussars. Though outnumbered and outgunned the Liao forces attacked the FWLM fortified positions and took heavy losses. The Regulan defenders singled out the attackers' Griffins for quick destruction. Both forces suffered heavy losses, but the FWL defense line resisted. The Marion's Highlanders withdrew from the planet soon after.[2]
