History[edit]

The Aegis-class heavy cruiser White Talon served as Operation REVIVAL escort and transport to the Fourth Falcon Velites.[1]

As of 3059 the White Talon was serving as the CJF White Talon, one of nine Aegis-class vessels serving in the Jade Falcon touman, operating alongside the CJF Black Talon, CJF Blue Talon CJF Frost Falcon, CJF Gold Talon, CJF Hawk Eye, CJF Jade Talon, CJF Janice Hazen, and CJF Red Talon.[2]

Operation AUDACITY[edit]

The White Talon met its sister ship, the former Black Talon and now Clan Wolf-in-Exile's Black Paw, in battle above Blackjack. Exiled Wolf Star Captain Rudolph Mehta was able to cross her bow and savaged the White Talon. Without power and close to being lost in the atmosphere, the vessel launched its lifeboats as it threatened to burn up.[3] It was subsequently captured by Clan Wolf-in-Exile, who renamed her to Jade Wolf, and she would still be serving in the Clan Wolf-in-Exile touman in 3067.[4]

Jihad[edit]

In March 3072, the Jade Wolf was serving as a part of the Wolf Pack Naval Reserve alongside the Vincent Mk. 42-class corvette CWS Valiant when the Word of Blake launched an attack on Arc-Royal.[5] The Blakist WarShip group consisted of three heavy cruisers[5] subverted from the Free Worlds League navy,[6] the Agamemnon-class WBS Aineas[5] and WBS Troy and the Aegis-class WBS Olympic.[5][6] Both the Olympic and the Troy were destroyed by the defending Wolf-in-Exile forces[6][7] although both the Valiant and the Jade Wolf were destroyed as well.[5]
