He was not however able to consolidate on this victory, as during a subsequent attempted invasion by the [[Third New Samarkand Regulars]] later in 3133, he was killed by a lucky shot by a Regulars ''[[Panther]]'' 'Mech. In death Nguyen's militia were victorious, due to the Regulars losing more than half their forces to a [[DropShip]] crash, but quickly dissolved into chaos due to the leadership vacuum his death left behind.<ref name=TPVp6></ref><ref name=TPVp8>''Dark Age Turning Points: Vega'', p. 8</ref> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Era Report: 3145]]'' * ''[[Era Digest: Dark Age]]'' * ''[[Dark Age: Republic of the Sphere]]'' * ''[[Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' [[Category:Republic of the Sphere Characters|Nguyen, Francis]]
