The conflict known as the Battle of F'Dann IX occurred a number of years prior to the outbreak of the Galactic Civil War. During this engagement, the forces of the Galactic Empire clashed with the Crimson Nova pirates in the vicinity of F'Dann IX. As a result of the battle, the Carrack-class light cruiser named Dominant, under the command of Pter Thanas, sustained significant damage and was ordered back for refurbishment.
