Dachia’s neighbors in the sector west, the [[Tahora Whai]], eyed the Cahco system. Not for the exploitable resources expected to be harvested from the world, but for the tangible traffic and immense support a mining colony would require on the hostile world. Ships laden with foodstuffs and equipment were a prize more useful and proven than any hypothetical gold field. The Whai set up several smuggler’s havens and pirate coves in the system; they often used ship husks and deep space asteroids as foundations.

During the modern era, the Starlit Court sent several expeditions against Dominionist hideouts and cells on and around Dachia. With Sihi mobile once again, the traitors grew bolder and operated outside of the shadow. Isolated raids against fiends such as the escaped convict Farain and notable ne'er-do-well Elenore von Bathory maintained the Courts interest in the region.
=====Second Battle of Dachia=====
In AoQ 572, the Starlit Court began a renewed offensive against their enemies the Free Dominion on Dachia and rallied forces from various Knightly Orders into an armada named Task Fleet Dachia. The target was a Dominion’s base: The Mausoleum, a buried starship from the Dachia Crisis turned fortified bunker.
During the initial engagements, the defending Dominioinist ships, overmatched by the invading fleet, failed to prevent the assault forces from slipping past their lines. However, this Dominionist navy distracted the Court’s fleet long enough to deny orbital support to the ground forces of assaulting mechs and infantry.
Once on the icy surface, the ground forces of Task Fleet Dachia met stiff resistance from the Dark Triad and their biomechs. Regardless, the inexorable forces pushed through, slowly advancing on the fortifications. The fighting defense of the Dominionists provided time to lure the assaulting Starlit Court into booby-trapped outer defenses. This gambit, however, failed to halt the advance of the Invasion. Starlit Court forces captured the base at the cost of many lives and materiel. An orbital bombardment capped off the campaign, eliminating remnants of the base.
