'''The Battle of Dahlgren''' was a conflict that occurred somewhere in the [[Tamar Pact]] during the [[Third Succession War]], in or around [[3015]]. [[Dahlgren]] does not appear on the star maps, suggesting Dahlgren is a different name for a world in the same manner as Chara III/[[Pacifica]] or Norn II/[[Verthandi]]. What is known is [[Colby's Commandos]], under contract to the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], was forced to retreat when a [[Sword of Light]] unit dropped in their rear. This retreat forced the Commonwealth to cede a number of border worlds to the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref name=MSc2/>

Also present at the Battle was ''[[Chu-i]]'' [[Zouè Berlioz-Bruun]]'s father, a member of [[Duke]] [[Hassid Ricol|Hassid Ricol's]] [[Red Hunter Special Operations Group]]<ref name=RG:iCv11p10>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 11'', p. 10</ref>

Twelve years after this battle, a successful rebellion on Verthandi would see Dahlgren and other worlds in the region erupt into open fighting with Draconis garrisons as tensions still lingered from a generation before.<ref>''BattleTechnology'', Issue #0102, p. 5: "Hiring Hall—Hassid Ricol: The Red Duke" (apocryphal)</ref>
