'''Tolodeo Nguyen''' was a notable [[small craft]] commander in the [[Twenty-second New Samarkand Regulars]] during the [[Dark Age Era]].<ref name=45DCp52b/>

==History==
''[[Dai-i]]'' Nguyen was part of the Twenty-second New Samarkand Regulars during their [[3144]] invasion of the [[Federated Suns]] world of [[Cimeron]]. Fighting against the [[Fifth Robinson Strikers]]' skilled [[aerospace fighters]] cost the Twenty-second Regulars heavily until the unit's infantry commanders came up with a bold plan to outmaneuver their opponents. Nguyen's [[squadron]] of [[battle armor]] troop carriers were dispatched towards the Fifth Strikers' airbase under the cover of a massed aerospace and [[DropShip]] assault, flying towards the Merron Mountains nap-of the earth and taking the airfield after a brief struggle. When the pilots of the Fifth Strikers landed for rest and repairs, the waiting battle armor [[squad]] delivered by Nguyen's airmen sprung their trap and massacred the Strikers' personnel after they disembarked from their craft. While a Fifth Strikers fast response unit reclaimed the airfield twenty minutes later, the damage done by the raiders proved permanent when the FedSuns [[LCT]] was forced to destroy its decrewed aircraft rather than abandon them during their retreat from Cimeron.<ref name=45DCp52a>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 52: "Oo-Suzumebachi - Deployment"</ref><ref name=TRO50p212>''Technical Readout: 3150'', p. 212: "Oo-Suzumebachi - Deployment"</ref>

Nguyen was promoted to ''dai-i'' following the Cimeron raid and soon returned to [[New Samarkand]], where he was tasked with overseeing the transport contingent of a [[battalion]] of special operations battle armor infantry. The local [[Warlord of New Samarkand|warlord]]'s staff were excited by the small-scale success of the Cimeron action and hoped to replicate it with larger groups of infantry. However, by [[3145]], all of their proposed exercises would have required too many aerospace escorts to be practical.<ref name=45DCp52b/>
