The AFFS assigned two regiments of the [[Twelfth Vegan Rangers]] to lead the attack - [[Gamma Regiment (12th Vegan Rangers)|Gamma]] and [[Delta Regiment (12th Vegan Rangers)|Delta Regiments]] - supported by a dozen conventional regiments. The landing zones chosen by the Rangers were in the Docarshon Valley, a barren region some 200 km south of the planetary capital city, Xer, and were contested by the Capellan forces. Capellan [[aerospace fighter]]s managed to breach the Rangers' fighter screen and severely damaged two Ranger [[DropShip]]s, the ''[[Union]]''-class ''[[Vegan Thunder]]'' and the ''[[Leopard]]''-class ''[[Ranger's Creed]]''. Although both DropShips were able to unload their 'Mechs, the ''Ranger's Creed'' was destroyed when it tumbled in the atmosphere and crashed on the surface of the planet.<ref name="4SWv2p53">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', pp. 53–54: "Palos"</ref> Having been chastised by the Capellan Operations Command for abusive behavior towards the population of [[Wei]], the Rangers attempted to be conciliatory towards the population of Palos.
