As Epsilon moved to engage the Diamond Shark forces at Pearl City, Rodriguez's Trinary blew through the back wall of SLB-28 and launched a devastating surprise attack on the Coyote forces inside the former cache, destroying most of the command and control assets within the Coyote headquarters; all of the Trinary fell in battle, but not before inflicting heavy damage on the headquarters and devastating the [[49th Battle (Clan Coyote)|Forty-ninth Battle Cluster]].<ref name="WoRp130"/>

While the battles raged within SLB-28 and Pearl City a Diamond Shark force consisting of fourteen DropShips -including two [[Inner Sphere]] pattern ''[[Excalibur (DropShip class)|Excalibur]]''-class DropShips - and a number of [[small craft]] launched themselves from the Diamond Shark polar base and launched a stunning assault on the ''Blood of the Coyote'' in orbit. The surprise attack inflicted heavy damage on the ''Cameron''-class battlecruiser; while most of the Diamond Shark strike force was destroyed by the ''Blood of the Coyote'' or the ''Windrunner'', which intervened to rescue the larger Coyote WarShip, the ''Blood of the Coyote'' was forced to withdraw from Vinton.<ref name="WoRp130"/>

The success of these three strikes boosted the morale of the defending Diamond Shark forces and encouraged them to make further attacks; throughout February 3073 the Diamond Sharks pushed back against the Coyotes, but couldn't win the battle of attrition. The Coyote campaign pressed forward, and by mid-March all of the major cities on Vinton were under Coyote control; the last Diamond Shark bastion was a deep-water dome located beneath the Razor Sea named Verne, where the surviving elements of the [[2nd Vinton Defense (Clan Diamond Shark)|Second Vinton Defense Cluster]] and a Trinary of [[Undine]]-equipped [[Elemental]]s held out.<ref name="WoRp130"/>
