==History==
As of [[3012]], Dan McCleary was a legendary ace ''[[Chippewa]]'' pilot who took part in the raid of [[Draconis Combine]]-held [[Laiaka]] that year. Accompanied by a pair of ''[[Lucifer]]''s, McCleary stumbled upon an ''[[Overlord]]''-class [[DropShip]] escorted by six heavy fighters. Badly outgunned from the start, McCleary and his escorts held their own for several minutes before he dove his ''Chippewa'' into the heavily damaged DropShip. The explosion of his craft and ammunition crippled the ''Overlord'''s already-damaged engines, sending it crashing onto the planet below.<ref name=TRO3025-162/><ref name=TRO3025R-170/><ref name=TRO3039-216/>

McCleary's heroic sacrifice would be honored by the Lyran Commonwealth with the creation of the McCleary Award for Heroism. His son Hank, also a ''Chippewa'' pilot would ultimately become the first recipient of the award after his actions at the Battle of Alexandria.<ref name=TRO3025-162/><ref name=TRO3039-216/>
