The novel follows the fates of several characters on all sides of the conflict as the 6th Defenders of Andurien move to conquer Grand Base in late 3030. With the [[jump point]]s secured and the recharge station captured, the attackers secure the moon Fortress, then land ground forces on Grand Base proper. The landings are almost unopposed as the Capellan defenders, spread thin because of the [[Fourth Succession War]], have gone to ground, and the major cities surrender without a fight when confronted. The biggest initial problem for the attackers is that the planetary computer systems have been flooded with false information, making accurate maps hard to come by.

Gerbar Island is a special case. Featuring a [[Star League era]] 'Mech maintenance facility, it is owned by ''[[Shonso]]'' Jukon Miwong. After the execution of his daughter, a Death Commando cadet, by her fellow cadets for recklessly endangering her life and thus breaking her Death Commando vows, Miwong renounced his ties to the Confederation and declared his fief on Gebrar Island independent; his private army is strong enough to effectively guard it and as a last resort he has installed a nuclear warhead that could destroy the valuable facility at his command. He is eventually killed by Jen Xiao, ending the insurrection on Gebrar Island.

A week after the initial landings, Warrior House Fujita begins a guerrilla war against the invaders. Evading a stand-up fight, they carry out hit-and-run strikes that cause losses to the Andurien troops and begin to affect morale. The Andurien regiment's Gamma Battalion set up their main camp in the former Death Commando training barracks to make a point, but over time several patrols vanish without a trace, unsettling the soldiers.
