After more than ten years of occupation by the renegade scientist and after Etienne's attacks on the Clan Jade Falcon Warrior Caste, in November of [[3073]], [[Kael Pershaw]] led the Falcon's [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Alpha Galaxy]]—the heart of his task force—along with the [[WarShip]]s ''[[Falcon's Nest (Individual Texas-class WarShip)|Falcon's Nest]]'', ''[[Hawk Eye]]'', and ''[[Turkina's Pride]]'', to Etienne's Sanctuary after following the trail to this planet. Kael Pershaw personally led a [[Star]] of ground troops and [[Elemental]]s, a wounded Pershaw and company would find their way to the heart of Etienne's redoubt after the Falcon's [[101st Battle (Clan Jade Falcon)|101st Battle Cluster]] breached the walls.  There, Pershaw personally shot Etienne through the face upon recognizing him, just prior to succumbing to his own wounds sustained during the fighting. After all of [[The Society]] personnel were cut down, the survivors withdrew.

The fight was not cheap for Clan Jade Falcon forces. The ''Hawk Eye'' was lost during the initial approach to Etienne's Sanctuary, after being struck with some form of weaponised [[HPG]] pulse that took control of the ''Hawk Eye's'' systems and forced it to jump. As the ''Hawk Eye'' was mid-transit between the jump point and the planet this resulted in the annihilation of the ''Hawk Eye'', although the loss did not deter the Falcons from their objective.<ref name="WORp138"/>

The ''Turkina's Pride'' continued to bombard the surface of the planet until everything within a ten kilometer radius of the fortress had been flattened; Falcon ground forces then spent another month searching the surface of the world, destroying two more Society hideouts in the process, before the Falcons were content that the threat from Balzac was over.<ref name="WORp138"/>
