The ''Corvidae'' continued to serve in the Lum Garrison Fleet until at least [[3067]], operating alongside two other destroyers - the ''[[Lola III]]''-class [[Bloody Talon|CSR ''Bloody Talon'']] and the ''Drake'' - as well as the ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Avalanche (Individual Sovetskii Soyuz-class WarShip)|CSR ''Avalanche'']], the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruisers [[Morning Violence|CSR ''Morning Violence'']] and [[Scabbard|CSR ''Scabbard'']], the ''[[Potemkin]]''-class cruisers [[Bonaventure (Individual Potemkin-class WarShip)|CSR ''Bonaventure'']] and [[Eden Rose|CSR ''Eden Rose'']] and the ''[[Vincent]]''-class corvette [[Huninn|CSR ''Huninn'']].<ref name="FM:Up64">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 64-65, "Naval Assets"</ref>

During the [[Wars of Reaving]] the ''Corvidae'' was one of the escort vessels for the last major Snow Raven convoy to leave the [[Clan Homeworlds]] for the [[Outworlds Alliance]]. Of the fifty Snow Raven [[JumpShip]]s that had originally been intended to be a part of this last convoy, only twenty-two survived to make it to [[Quatre Belle]] in the Outworlds Alliance, escorted by an ad hoc star of damaged vessels which in addition to the ''Corvidae'' included the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Lord Death|CSR ''Lord Death'']], the ''[[Whirlwind]]''-class destroyers ''Drake'' and [[William Adams (Individual Whirlwind-class WarShip)|CSR ''William Adams'']], the ''[[Congress]]''-class frigate [[Magpie|CSR ''Magpie'']] and the ''[[Vincent]]''-class corvette [[Munnin|CSR ''Munnin'']]. The Snow Ravens would subsequently blame the losses taken and damage suffered on bandits when talking to their new allies in the Outworlds Alliance.<ref name="WORp108">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 108, "Force of Power"</ref>

During the [[Jihad]] the CSR ''Corvidae'' served as a part of [[Task Force CRONUS]], the predominantly Clan-based naval force responsible for capturing the [[Titan Yards]] in [[3078]] as a part of the allied coalition efforts to liberate [[Terra]] from the [[Word of Blake]]. The ''Corvidae'' was destroyed by swarms of [[Caspar]] drones during the battle for the Yards.<ref name="JHS:Tp97">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 97, "Highest Honor"</ref>
