Captain Baki Dawson was a member of the Fifth Sword of Light during the Fourth Succession War.[1]
History
In January 3029, Baki Dawson commanded the Second Company within the First Battalion, aka The Blades of Death, of the Fifth Sword of Light when the unit was assigned to assault the world of Northwind to relieve pressure on the Capellan Confederation. The Sword of Light was joined by the Thirty-sixth Dieron Regulars and the Genyosha to drive the defending Fifth Deneb Light Cavalry, Team Banzai and Bradley's Bravos off world.[2]
During the fighting, Tai-sho Palmer Conti, commander of the Fifth Sword of Light, initiated a plan to poison the water supply of Northwind's capital city, Cromarty City, which led to thousands of deaths in the civilian and Federated Suns defenders. This forced the defenders to fall back with defeat almost certain until the arrival of the Northwind Highlanders mercenary unit turned the tide and drove off the Kuritan invaders.[2]
BattleMech
Baki Dawson piloted an Awesome BattleMech.[1]
Notes
While Dawson's rank is clearly designated as Captain in the source material, the proper designation is Tai-i which is the term the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery uses for Captain.
