[[Clan Snow Raven]] were under serious pressure from the allied forces of the Cloud Cobras, Star Adders and Steel Vipers in early 3070, and attempted to distract the three allied clans from their attacks by revealing information highlighting that the Diamond Sharks were preparing to trade Clan technology with the [[Federated Suns]]. The Snow Ravens were in desperate need of time to finish their preparations to evacuate their diminished holdings in the Clan Homeworlds, and their attempt to distract their enemies was successful - at least in part because of supporting information that the Jade Falcons released to corroborate their own.<ref name="WoRp50A">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 50: "The Raven Absorption"</ref> The Snow Raven ploy worked; the Cloud Cobras, Star Adders and Steel Vipers decided to punish the Diamond Sharks for daring to consider treating a Spheroid faction with the same level of honor as the children of Kerensky, and the three Clans began planning attacks against the Diamond Sharks. The Cloud Cobras needed time to rebuild after earlier combat actions, but both the Star Adders and Steel Vipers launched attacks on Diamond Shark holdings.<ref name="WoRp51">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 51: "Closing the Net"</ref>
