Prior to 3150, when Tai-shu Kambei Okamoto, Warlord of the Dieron Prefecture, was in the Quentin system, he was intercepted by chance by the San Diego, a Castrum-class DropShip assigned to the Federation/Combine front. An attempt to evacuate the warlord on an outbound Nekohono'o-class DropShip, the Burradi Mōki, and the frenzied defense alerted the RAF attackers to the importance of the ship. The San Diego used its capital and sub-capital weaponry to cripple the DropShip. The warlord was killed in the subsequent boarding operation, and the Prefecture leadership was crippled.[2]

Okamoto's death was previously detailed in Shattered Fortress, pp. 66 and 100, in 'Mech combat with Paladin Max Ergen on Dieron. At this time, the discrepancy has not been resolved.
