Around [[3059]], [[Clan Jade Falcon]] challenged [[Clan Ice Hellion]] for their enclave on [[Marshall]]. The [[2nd Falcon Velites (Clan Jade Falcon)|Second Falcon Velites]] faced off against the Cavaliers.  The Cavaliers were initially pinned down by the Velites in a canyon of the Firth mountain range, until a Binary of ''[[Snow Fox|Snow Foxes]]'' striking at the Falcon rear created the impression of a larger force at their back.  The resultant confusion allowed the Cavaliers to turn the Falcon flank and win the Trial.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3060'', p. 134</ref>
