Batman has really let himself go.
That's pretty much the extent of the reference. There's also a fairly vauge reference in the Heart of the Tiger novel that could be taken as implying that Blair was involved with the mission: "Yeah... maybe. We certainly showed 'em the way, back when the Tarawa made the raid on Kilrah a couple of years ago."
The novels like to 'small universe' the Tarawa. The Price of Freedom also attaches Panther and Wilford to the ship: "The admiral [Wilford] and I served together on the Tarawa, before it went to the Landreich."
(This could mean they served there during Operation Backlash, it could mean they served there during Operation Red Three... or it could mean they served there after the Battle of Earth and before the ship was crippled and sold to Kruger. I prefer to discount the latter posibility, because TPoF was written before False Colors -- so the idea that Tarawa later became FRLS Independence didn't exist when that reference was created.)
False Colors adds another convenient connection: Dawx Jhorrad was badly wounded when the Tarawa attacked Kilrah's moon.
Edit: for further debate -- what is the Secret Ops fiction referring to when it references the "Second Battle of Kilrah"? Is the first one Strike Force Valkrie's raid and the second one the T-Bomb run? Or is the first one the T-Bomb run and the second the battle to destroy the Nephilim gate? Or does the initial Nephilim attack on the system/engagement with the TCS Brack count as something?
