In [[3068]], the Forty-second Galedon regulars declared their loyalty to the [[Black Dragon Society]]. Their JumpShips abandoned them upon learning of their disloyalty, stranding the Forty-second on Kanowit. For the next six years the world was allegedly controlled by the Society, but in [[3074]] loyal citizens (with [[DEST]] support) overthrew the traitors. The Forty-second lifted offworld and apparently met up with the ''[[Essex]]''-class DCA ''[[Sabre Cat]]''. The Forty-second hasn't been seen since, and the [[Coordinator]] has declared the unit ''ronin'' and stricken its colors from the rolls.<ref>''Field Report: DCMS'', p. 10</ref>
