Representing the Free Skye forces were the [[Twenty-second Skye Rangers]], the [[Fourth Skye Rangers]], the [[Warship|Warships]] ''[[Fox (WarShip class)#Named Vessels|LAS Illustrious]]'' and the ''[[Fox (WarShip class)#Named Vessels|FCS Indefatigable]]''. Defending the planet on behalf of the Lyran Alliance were the [[Gray Death Legion]], the [[15th Lyran Guards|15th]] and the [[36th Lyran Guards]], and the [[Defiance Self-Protection Force]], a corporate military unit. In orbit was the Warship ''[[Avalon#Named Vessels|FSS Simon Davion]]''. Early in the campaign, the ''Illustrious'' was destroyed but the ''Simon Davion'' was captured by the Free Skye forces, giving the invaders a decisive advantage in orbit. After initial skirmishing, the two Skye regiments lifted off the planet, only to drop directly on the target factory, leaving the divided defenders in a desperate position. Orbital bombardment by the Free Skye forces destroyed an [[Hyperpulse Generator|HPG Station]], killing hundreds of civilians, and dealt tremendous damage to the 15th Lyran Guards. When the [[32nd Lyran Guards]] joined the attack in support of Free Skye, the campaign appeared lost for the loyalists. The Gray Death Legion spent itself holding off the Rangers, losing most of its troops and its commander, Colonel [[Lori Kalmar|Lori Kalmar Carlyle]]. The 32nd Lyran Guards had lost their own commander, however, and were now plagued by dissent. The 22nd Rangers were shattered, while the 4th and 17th Rangers were mauled. The pro-Skye [[14th Lyran Guards]] arrived with Maria Esteban in command, inflicting heavy losses on the 32nd Guards. Despite all of this, the loyalists still held the massive Defiance Industries factory while the rebels had been ravaged, demoralized and had lost the element of surprise. The 4th Skye Rangers abandoned the battle, returning to Skye. Esteban made one last push for the factory, neutralizing much of the Defiance SPF and reaching the gates of the legendary facility. Loyalist [[battle armor]] units, however, managed to regain control of the situation, and the Free Skye forces, facing a suddenly resurgent SDF and 15th Lyran Guards, were forced to retreat. When General [[Caesar Steiner]] arrived with the pro-Lyran [[2nd Donegal Guards]], Esteban and her forces surrendered. <ref>''FedCom Civil War'', pp. 146-147, 163-164, 177-178</ref><ref>''Handbook: House Steiner'' p. 68</ref><ref>''The Dying Time (novel)''</ref> + The '''Fifteenth Battle of Hesperus II''' was the pivotal battle of the [[Third Skye Rebellion]], during the [[FedCom Civil War]].
