Acting under the overall command of the Jade Falcon [[Loremaster]], [[Kael Pershaw]], the ''Falcon's Nest'' joined the ''[[Cameron (WarShip class)|Cameron]]''-class battlecruiser [[Turkina's Pride|CJF ''Turkina's Pride'']] and the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Hawk Eye|CJF ''Hawk Eye'']] in the assault on Etienne's Sanctuary in November [[3073]].<ref name="WORp138">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 138: "Falcon Vengeance"</ref> The ''Hawk Eye'' was lost during the initial approach to Etienne's Sanctuary, after being struck with some form of weaponised [[HPG]] pulse that took control of the ''Hawk Eye's'' systems and forced it to jump. As the ''Hawk Eye'' was mid-transit between the jump point and the planet this resulted in the annihilation of the ''Hawk Eye'', although the loss didn't deter the Falcons from their objective.<ref name="WORp138"/> After safely delivering Alpha Galaxy to the surface of the planet, the ''Turkina's Pride'' and the ''Falcon's Nest'' remained on station until the Falcon ground forces had been proved victorious and Balzac had been executed by Pershaw. Pershaw ordered the surviving warriors to withdraw before ordering the ''Turkina's Pride'' and the ''Falcon's Nest'' to bombard the site of Balzac's fortress from orbit. As the two battleships began their bombardment an [[SDS]] system on the planet launched a slew of nuclear missiles at the two Falcon WarShips; most were destroyed or deflected after launch, but two struck the ''Falcon's Nest'', and the resulting nuclear explosions gutted the ship, with the fragmented wreckage subsequently burning up in the atmosphere of the planet.<ref name="WORp138"/> The ''Turkina's Pride'' continued to bombard the surface of the planet until everything within ten kilometers of the fortress had been flattened; Falcon ground forces then spent another month searching the surface of the world, destroying more Society hideouts in the process, before the Falcons were finally content that the threat from Balzac was over.<ref name="WORp138"/> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Field Manual: Crusader Clans]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' * ''[[Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents]]'' * ''[[The Wars of Reaving]]'' [[Category: Individual WarShips]] [[Category: Individual Battleships]] [[Category: Individual Texas-class WarShips]]
