The DCS '''''Blue Lotus''''' was a ''[[Naga (WarShip class)|Naga]]''-class light destroyer in service with the [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]] during the [[First Succession War]]. The ''Blue Lotus'' had the misfortune of being the only WarShip assigned to the defense of [[Luthien]], the capital of the [[Draconis Combine]], in March [[2787]] when the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] launched a humiliating retaliatory raid against the Combine.<ref name="FSWp47">''First Succession War'', p. 47-48, "Steiner Strikes Back: Luthien and Dieron"</ref>

Assigned to the raid on Luthien was the elite [[Tamar Tigers]] regiment, escorted by the [[Nightwind (Individual Potemkin-class WarShip)|LCS ''Nightwind'']], a ''[[Potemkin]]''-class cruiser. Anticipating heavy defenses at Luthien, the ''Nightwind'' carried a full complement of twenty-five assorted assault [[DropShip]]s and fighter carriers; although a partially-complete ''[[Narukami (WarShip class)|Narukami II]]''-class destroyer under construction in the orbital dry docks above Luthien attempted to assist the ''Blue Lotus'', both ships were swiftly destroyed. The ''Nightwind'' went on to destroy the orbital shipyards, whilst the Tamar Tigers dropped on the lightly-defended Aichi continent and destroyed three factories - including a [[Luthien Armor Works]] [[BattleMech]] factory - before leaving the Luthien system. As a result of the raid on Luthien, the standing garrison on Luthien was boosted substantially, never dropping below four 'Mech regiments at any point during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]].<ref name="FSWp47"/>
