==History==
In [[3052]] the ''[[Cameron (WarShip class)|Cameron]]''-class battlecruiser '''''Dieron's Run''''' was serving as the CGB ''Dieron's Run'' and was one of two [[WarShip]]s assigned to the [[Clan Ghost Bear]] Naval Reserve, operating alongside the ''[[Black Lion]]''-class battlecruiser [[Bear's Den (Individual Black Lion-class WarShip)|CGB ''Bear's Den'']] under the overall command of [[Star Commodore]] [[Elissa Snuka]].<ref name="ICp38">''Invading Clans'', p. 38, "Clan Naval Reserve"</ref> By [[3061]] the ''Dieron's Run'' was the flagship of the [[Clan Ghost Bear Touman|Ghost Bear ''touman'']], and was attached to [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Alpha Galaxy]].<ref name="FM:WCp86">''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 86, "Naval Assets"</ref> The ''Dieron's Run'' remained an active part of the Ghost Bear ''touman'' for the next six years;<ref name="FM:Up60">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 60, "Naval Assets"</ref> in May [[3067]] the ''Dieron's Run'' was involved in the second naval battle for [[Alshain]], a [[Trial of Possession]] initiated by forces from [[Clan Nova Cat]] for the ''[[Leviathan (Battleship)|Leviathan]]''-class battleship [[Rasalhague (Leviathan)|CGB ''Rasalhague'']], which was undergoing construction in the Alshain shipyards at the time.<ref name="FM:Up81+"/>

The Trial was devastating for both sides, with half the Ghost Bear fleet destroyed and similar losses on the part of the Nova Cats; the Trial was initiated by the Nova cat [[Transcendent Naval Star (Clan Nova Cat)|Transcendent Naval Star]], but the local commanding officer of the Ghost Bear naval forces refused the Nova cat ''[[batchall]]'' and ordered an immediate attack.<ref name="FM:Up81+">''Field Manual:  Updates'', p. 81, "The Second Naval Battle of Alshain"</ref>

As the battle began a second Nova Cat Star, the [[Vision Naval Star (Clan Nova Cat)|Vision Naval Star]] arrived, while a second force of heavy Ghost Bear WarShips including the ''Dieron's Run'' began moving to support the ''[[Nightlord]]''-class battleship [[Ursa Major|CGB ''Ursa Major'']] and her four-strong destroyer group. [[Star Admiral]] Leroux of the Transcendent Naval Star managed to convince the commander of the second Ghost Bear force that the Trial was a legitimate and honorable trial, effectively splitting the Trial into two separate naval engagements; as a result, the Trial didn't degenerate into a mass brawl, but it still devastated both the Ghost Bear and Nova Cat fleets. The ''Dieron's Run'' ended up dueling with two lighter Nova Cat WarShips, the ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer [[Faithful|SLS ''Faithful'']] and the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Bond|SLS ''Bond'']]. The two Nova Cat ships worked together, and while both were lost during the Trial, the ''Faithful'' forced the ''Dieron's Run'' to expose her flank to the ''Bond''; as a result, while the ''Bond'' was already critically damaged, the crew of the ''Bond'' ensured that their last broadside destroyed the ''Dieron's Run'', and the crew of the ''Bond'' were subsequently able to evacuate the dying ship and be rescued by other Nova Cat ships.<ref name="FM:Up81+"/>

The Ghost Bears were the victors in the Trial, but the losses taken on both parts made the victory a pyrrhic one at best.<ref name="FM:Up81+"/>
