The Falcons grounded on 13 April [[3050]] and quickly drove for the Twelfth and Victor. For his part, Victor was at the head of his battalion, on the way to a training exercise with the [[Red Brigade]]. The scouts initially confused contact with Falcon forces for the Brigade, though they realized their fatal mistake and warned Victor, who alerted the battalion. On the other side of the Castle Mountains from the rest of the regiment, in the Chrysall Pass, the battalion was hard pressed to hold off the Falcon Guards. Victor retreated through the pass, but was hit by Falcon air and ground assets. During the fighting, he christened the ''[[Summoner]]'' [[OmniMech]] the "''Thor''" because of its powerful arm-mounted weapons. He tried to retreat into the mountains, but realized the Falcon forces would be able to cut them off from the rest of the unit.

Over the course of the Guards' desperate defense, Steiner-Davion and [[Galen Cox]] were separated from their allies and fought and defeated a lone Falcon ''[[Summoner]]'' in Thunder Rift, using the Rift's rough terrain to negate the Clanner's range advantage. When they returned to base afterwards, their commanding officer, Leftenant-General [[Jeremy Hawksworth]], informed them that the regiment was on the brink of defeat. Victor suggested retreating the remaining forces to the area of Thunder Rift and fighting a guerrilla campaign. The general accepted the suggestion, but could not allow the designated Archon-Prince to remain on Trellwan and be captured or killed. He ordered Cox to assure Victor's evacuation, despite the young Kommandant's clear willingness to remain and see the fight through. Cox ended up having to sucker punch his friend and knocking him out in order to get him off planet.
