The senior Lyran officer after the destruction of the headquarters was [[Lieutenant Colonel]] [[Nadine Killson]], commander of Able Battalion of the Twenty-third Arcturan Guards. Taking on the immense responsibility of coordinating the defense, Killson realized that the Lyran forces were in danger of being cut off and arranged her troops to try and block the DCMS attack. The result was a brutal close-quarters fight on the fringes of the spaceport; fighting against the Alshain Regulars on one front and the Legion of Vega on the other. Killson's [['Mechs]] were outnumbered three to one and had to use conventional forces. The Arcturan [[infantry]] and [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] made daring attacks and staged point-blank ambushes against the Combine 'Mechs, even though many of the actions would prove futile.<ref name="H:3039p70+"/>

Killson held her defensive positions, losing half her forces overnight but destroying a portion of the Legion of Vega. Olivares was content to continue to press the attack, as he had reinforcements and supplies available; Killson knew that her extended position was untenable, and chose to retreat into the spaceport, fortifying it as a beachhead from which the Lyran forces could stage a counterattack if reinforced, but conceding control of Sigmundrac to the Combine. The Arcturan Guards held the spaceport until the 13th of August, launching raids and spoiling attacks, while fending off probing attacks from the Combine forces; on the 13th, orders were received to retreat, and the Twenty-third Arcturan Guards boarded their DropShips and left. In the meantime, General Fincher and a number of other senior officers were dug out of the remains of the command center and would be interned to the Combine for months before eventually being repatriated.<ref name="H:3039p70+"/>
