−	The class of the ''Chahar Profit'' is unknown. However, it was apparently a design developed prior to the twenty-sixth century because it notably featured a [[Jump Pigeon]], which is a technology that faded to obscurity after the twenty-sixth century.

	Over the objection of companies such as Chahar Traders, the desperation of the [[First Succession War]] would see then [[Archon]] [[Jennifer Steiner]] commandeer the majority of commercial freighters and transports like the ''Chahar Profit'' for the use of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] in [[2789]]. After the war's conclusion, her grandson [[Marcus Steiner]] would finally release those pressed into military service in [[2824]]. In returning them however, he ordered that each must make at least three mercy runs to carry food, water and other vital supplies to Lyran worlds that had been neglected during the First Succession War.<ref name=HSTLC-47>'House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 47 "History - First Succession War - Patterns of War"</ref><ref name=HSTLC-55/>		Over the objection of companies such as Chahar Traders, the desperation of the [[First Succession War]] would see then [[Archon]] [[Jennifer Steiner]] commandeer the majority of commercial freighters and transports like the ''Chahar Profit'' for the use of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] in [[2789]].

After news of the ''Chahar Profit''&#39;s fate reached Archon Marcus Steiner, he ordered that the ship must be rescued no matter the cost, despite his conflict with Chahar Traders and the ongoing tensions between the Commonwealth and the Combine in the lull between the First and Second Succession Wars. [[The Stealths]], an elite [[LCAF]] unit, was re-formed for the mission.<ref name=HSTLC-56/><ref name=HHS-39/><ref name=HHS-41/><ref name=HHS-43/> After weeks of vigorous retraining for the mission, the Stealths were ready, accompanied by an equally elite unit of aerospace fighters, a crack company of marines highly skilled in boarding operations, and as a precaution, a replacement JumpShip crew in case that of the ''Chahar Profit'' could not be rescued. With the attention of the [[Coordinator]] [[Jinjiro Kurita]] and the bulk of the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] focused on the Combine's [[Periphery]] border and the advance of the mysterious "[[Minnesota Tribe]]", the Stealths' transport the LCS ''[[Yo' Mama]]'' made the jump into the Darius system on 21 February 2827.<ref name=HSTLC-56/> Immediately upon arrival in-system, all [[DropShip]]s save the one carrying the Stealths sped toward the ''Chahar Profit'' and Kurita forces guarding it. The ''Yo' Mama'' meanwhile made a high-thrust burn towards the planet itself. Two days after arriving in the system, the Stealths landed their 'Mechs just outside the planet's capital city where the crew of the ''Chahar Profit'' were being held.<ref name=HSTLC-56/> Many of the Stealths' 'Mechs had functional hand [[actuator]]s which clutched specially constructed "barrels", armored capsules with heavily padded interiors into which two crew members each were strapped. The Stealths reached their DropShip without losing or injuring a single member of either their number or of the crew of the ''Chahar Profit''. Meanwhile their comrades at the system's Jump Point had succeeded in recapturing the ''Chahar Profit'' and repairing and preparing her to jump to safety, her vital cargo intact. The arrival of the ''Chahar Profit'' and the Stealths triggered an ecstatic welcome from the people of Chandler.<ref name=HSTLC-56/><ref name=HKTDC-64/><ref name=HHS-39/><ref name=HHS-41/><ref name=HHS-43/><ref name=HHK-46/> ==Consequences== The ''Profit'' rescue was a boom to the Commonwealth morale, weakened after the devastating war.
