In October 3068 a [[Clan]] warrior named Drago stalked and killed almost all of two [[Level II]]s of Blakist forces near the mining settlement of Dallas, fifty kilometers from Aswan. Fighting over the course of several days, Drago and his matte-black ''[[Nova Cat (OmniMech)|Nova Cat]]'' [[OmniMech]] tracked and killed one Level II before engaging the second when it came to investigate a day later. Under the overall command of [[Demi-Precentor]] [[Alice Haywood]], the surviving Level II withdrew after losing a 'Mech to Drago, studying salvaged information to try and learn Drago's identity before attempting to ambush him a day later. While the ambush didn't work as planned, Haywood was able to fight and kill Drago - but not before most, or possibly all, of the other personnel in her Level II were destroyed.<ref name="TDoC">''The Dragon of Caph''</ref>
