The ''Eos'' was stationed in the [[Dahar IV]] system in March 2814 when the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] launched campaigns to recapture both Dahar IV and the capital of the [[Draconis March]], [[Robinson]]. The ''Eos'' was the only capital ship in the system when the [[AFFS]] task force arrived, and it was soon being engaged by the task force's naval escort, the ''[[Robinson (WarShip class)|Robinson]]''-class transport [[Marlette (Individual Robinson-class WarShip)|FSS ''Marlette'']] and a pair of ''[[Davion II (WarShip class)|Davion II]]''-class [[destroyer]]s. Despite being outnumbered, the ''Eos'' fought a determined battle against the three AFFS WarShips, using nuclear-tipped capital missiles to deadly effect, crippling both destroyers and inflicting heavy damage on the ''Marlette'' before being destroyed.<ref name="FSWp94">''First Succession War'', p. 94-96, "Robinson and Dahar"</ref>
