The Battle of Dahlgren was a conflict that occurred somewhere in the Tamar Pact during the Third Succession War, in or around 3015. As a secondary planet in the Csesztreg system, not much is known about Csesztreg II aka Dahlgren. What is known is Carlyle's Commandos, under contract to the Lyran Commonwealth, was forced to retreat when a Sword of Light unit dropped in their rear. This retreat forced the Commonwealth to cede a number of border worlds to the Draconis Combine.[1]

Also present at the Battle was Chu-i Zouè Berlioz-Bruun, a member of Duke Hassid Ricol's Red Hunter Special Operations Group[2]
