In early [[3144]] forces from Clan Jade Falcon and the [[Rasalhague Dominion]] clashed in the '''Symington''' system. The forces that fought consisted of the Jade Falcon ''[[Fredasa (WarShip class)|Fredasa]]''-class corvette [[Jade Tornado|CJF ''Jade Tornado'']] and an escorting ''[[Carrier]]''-class [[DropShip]] versus the Rasalhague Dominion's [[Sif Star (Rasalhague Dominion)|Sif Star]], which among other vessels included a pair of ''[[Nagasawa (DropShip class)|Nagasawa]]''-class DropShips. The two forces contained a comparable number of [[aerospace fighter]]s which promptly began engaging each other to try and win aerospace superiority, while the two ''Nagasawas'' immediately moved to engage the ''Jade Tornado''. The ''Jade Tornado'' found itself forced to concentrate on the two ''Nagasawas'' because of the heavy fire they were each dealing out, which allowed the other Dominion heavy DropShips to fire on the corvette with little risk of receiving return fire. Even a direct hit on one of the ''Nagasawas'' from the ''Jade Tornado'' didn't disable the DropShip, which continued to attack the larger [[WarShip]]; after ten minutes of combat the ''Jade Tornado'' fled the battle, leaving its fighters with no choice other than to try and rendezvous with the [[9th Falcon Velites (Clan Jade Falcon)|Ninth Falcon Velites]] on the surface of Symington.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp52">''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', p. 52, "''Nagasawa''-class DropShip"</ref> <ref name=FM:3145p25>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 25, "3144" (timeline)</ref>
