In service until	3084

In 3061, the Carrack-class transport CDS Devourer was a WarShip in service with the Clan Diamond Shark touman.

History

Unlike a number of other WarShips operated by the Diamond Sharks, the Devourer survived the Wars of Reaving, but in an embarrassing incident for the Clan, the Devourer suffered catastrophic damage and was lost at Twycross in 3084. The Devourer was lost not as a result of combat, but rather as a result of an accident caused by a misfiring thruster. The loss of the Devourer was linked in part to the amount of capacity from the Diamond Shark orbital facilities at Twycross being directed into the Labov Project rather than planned conversions, and the increasing number of accidents involving Diamond Shark ships as a result of this reduced capacity - of which the accident involving the Devourer was one - was the cause of considerable debate among the merchant and technical castes. While the Devourer was reported to have been destroyed, it was subsequently determined that the ship was merely disabled and left stranded in the Twycross system. The Diamond Sharks redeployed the Twenty-eighth Cruiser Cluster to the Devourer after the accident.

Notes

• The Devourer is identified as the base for the 28th Cruiser Cluster as of 31 October, 3085, about a year after its reported destruction.

• It was confirmed via a question in the "Ask The Writers" forum of the official Catalyst Game Labs forum that the Tracy had been renamed the Marshal Ney:

“	The Diamond Shark fleet (what survived from the Jihad) was turned into ArcShips or traded to the Snow Ravens for vessels to turn into ArcShips. Terror of the Deep --> traded to CSR (Lynn McKenna) Nagasawa --> Talismantia (Spina Beta) Space Hunter --> Caleuche (Tiburon Gamma) Tracy --> traded to CSR (Marshal Ney) Architeuthis --> traded to CSR (Mulhacén) Swift Strike --> traded to CSR (Kutkh) Devourer --> severely damaged and scuttled over Twycross circa 3085 Kraken --> Fox ArcShip Poseidon --> Spina ArcShip Titanic --> Tiburon ArcShip Tsunami --> ilKhanate ArcShip	”
