- Undertaking a recon in force, Lt. Cmdr. Condon commanded a flight to investigate sensor anomalies near Cairo III. Ambushed by a full squadron of enemy fighter craft, her flight acquitted itself in exemplary manner, recording 23 confirmed kills and 5 probable kills. By springing this ambush prematurely, and then effectively neutralizing it, Lt. Condon’s flight prevented the Tiger Claw from entering harm’s way. Only Lt.Maxwell and Lt. Polanski survived this encounter, and regretably, Lt.Maxwell died the next day of wounds sustained in this action. In this action alone, Lt.Warbach qualified as an Ace, while Lt. Cmdr. Condon achieved Ace of Ace standing.
- For meritorious conduct in confronting the Kilrathi enemy, it is recommended that Lts. Warbach, Brun, Sandalabra, Maxwell, and Polanski be awarded the Silver Star, and Lt. Cmdr. Condon the Gold Star.

- For valor in the face of the enemy, and for risking his own welfare for the sake of a comrade, it is recommended that Lt. Cmdr. Kien be awarded his second Bronze Star.
