In 2702, Allison and the Twenty-ninth were rotated to Annapolis where the House Kurita duelists had an impressive record of thirty-one wins and no losses. Allison's first duel was against Sho-sa Tomo Fukuhara. Though Fukuhara fired first, Allison was able to evade most of the Ronin MechWarrior's laser and missile fire, firing two PPC shots in return, the first severing Fukuhara's 'Mech's left leg and the second breaching the ammunition magazine of Kuritan's LRM 10 and gutting his 'Mech to earn the first SLDF victory on Annapolis. Forty-two years and twenty worlds later, Daniel Allison would retire from the SLDF on his seventy-fifth birthday, having served longer than any other gunslinger, with a impressive dueling record in his BattleMaster of fifty-nine wins, zero losses and one draw.[1][2]
