The assault force did capture Isao Nakazawa and many members of the Kokuryu-kai armored unit working with him. They did not stop the Kokuryu-kai Battlemech force from getting to the DropShip. All units of the GSF took damage on this mission; some took heavy damage and will be out of service for some time. The Dragon's Clutch lost one of its Battle Armor troopers to enemy action and the Hitman took major damage. Road's Warriors' Stygian tank suffered major motive system damage. The BattleMech commander for Kiah’s Hammers suffered a concussion and his BattleMech took some heavy damage. The Raptor also took some heavy damage as well. All other units took light to moderate damage on this mission. With the large number of Kokuryu-kai units in the area, The Eagle's Tears were held back to provide extra security for the recovery teams. Overall Colonel Gray did a good job with the forces he had. ## Related persons & units - Isao Nakazawa - Kokuryu-kai armored unit - Colonel Euron “Silence” Greyjoy - Kiah's Hammers - 6th Ghost
