Dagger Point, by Thomas S. Gressman, is a story of the Capellan-St. Ives War from the point-of-view of reluctant "peacekeepers", the famed Eridani Light Horse.

The novel was made available on BattleCorps on 12 January 2011 as a PDF file (text only, without cover, pictures, or any other interior artwork except for the usual BattleCorps frame graphics). The PDF copy includes a disclaimer stating that it was created from a pre-final edition text that might differ from the printed version and that canon-wise, the print edition trumps the PDF edition.

From the back cover[edit]

“ Edwin Amis, new commander of the Eridani Light Horse, faces a tough decision: Should he openly defy the First Lord of the Star League? Sun-Tzu Liao, the First Lord, has sent Star League troops as "peace-keepers" to the St. Ives Compact to prevent open rebellion by angry citizens—but they're not seeking peace.

Amis knows the mission is only a guise for reclaiming territory for the Capellan Confederation, and he's ready to station counterforces on Milos, close to the heart of the Capellan capital. But on Milos, things are already escalating—Death Commando Chen Shao and his ruthless partner, Nessa Ament, have secretly murdered a dissident's family in cold blood. Now, in what could erupt into full-scale war, both forces are at each other's throats...
