During the later years of the [[Jihad]] the FSS ''Indomitable'' joined the allied coalition and took part in [[Operation SCOUR]], the liberation of the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]]; the ''Indomitable'' even took part in the battle for [[Terra]] itself in [[3078]], serving alongside her sister ship the [[Admiral Michael Saille|FSS ''Admiral Michael Saille'']] in [[Task Force EARTHBOUND]].<ref name="JHS:Tp95">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 95: "Classified: Eyes Only - Top Secret"</ref> During the battle [[Vice Admiral]] [[Walker Clay]], Commanding Officer of the ''Indomitable'', disobeyed orders and tried to destroy the [[Beneficence|WoBS ''Beneficence'']], formerly the ''[[Avalon]]''-class cruiser [[Melissa Davion (Individual Avalon-class WarShip)|FCS ''Melissa Davion'']], which had been captured and suborned by the [[Word of Blake]]. Clay ordered [[Rear Admiral]] Marcelle of the ''Admiral Michael Saille'' to follow, and the ''Indomitable's'' first officer was shot and killed while attempting to remove Clay from command. Clay's actions cost Task Force EARTHBOUND part of its missile defense cover and the [[Clan Diamond Shark]] ''[[Potemkin]]''-class carrer [[Red Tide|DCS ''Red Tide'']] was struck and destroyed by multiple nuclear warheads. The ''Indomitable'' was lost with nearly a ninety percent loss of life though Walker Clay survived, and the ''Admiral Saille'' was critically damaged and Rear Admiral Marcelle was killed during the battle.<ref name="FR:AFFSp4">''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 4, "Flag Dishonored"</ref>
