In [[3058]], after the formation of the Lyran Alliance, the [[Lyran Intelligence Corps]] discovered that while a long way from full mass-production, Blackwell had succeeded in developing a prototype. Recognizing the awesome potential of the technology and viewing the possible alienation of the Dragoons as worth the cost to secure it for the Alliance, [[Archon]] [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] authorized [[Loki (Intelligence agency)|Loki]] to steal the prototype. It took [[Defiance Industries]] four years and unlimited funding and resources, but the [[Lyran Alliance Armed Forces]] were duly impressed with the resulting light fusion engine.<ref name=FMLA/>

The Dragoons, however, were not, filing charges against the Alliance in the [[Star League]] Court. In a slap to the face of the Archon, they sold the light fusion technology via Blackwell to the Lyrans' age-old enemies- the [[Free Worlds League]] and [[Draconis Combine]].<ref name=TROPP>''Technical Readout: Project Phoenix'', p. 26</ref> The technology spread yet further when the [[Word of Blake]]'s [[ROM]] used the distraction of the approaching [[FedCom Civil War]] to secure it for themselves.<ref name=TRO67>''Technical Readout: 3067'', p. 84</ref>
