History[edit]
In 3027, the Daggers of Death staged an ill-fated attack against Galtor III that was repulsed with heavy losses. Shortly afterwards, they were called upon to defend their garrison world (Scheat V according to sources) against a Federated Suns attack that was apparently part of the Operation GALAHAD 3027 wargames. They held the line against a superior foe, but suffered further losses in that action.[1]
