Venterran forces under Fleet Commander Recklez have successfully repelled the assaults on Vaud and Graveron system. Although Terran MAC guns proved ineffective from long range, the frequency and unpredictability of the volleys have forced local defenders to request reinforcements as they follow Mayfeld's directive to withdraw back to the Geelong system. Venterran Fleet Commander Yamraiha was later dispatched to the Maitland system with the 99th Strike Fleet in order to relieve the local garrison.
