During the [[Wars of Reaving]] the ''Drake'' 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 JumpShips 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 ''Drake'' included the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Lord Death|CSR ''Lord Death'']], the ''Corvidae'', the ''[[Whirlwind]]''-class destroyer [[William Adams (Individual Whirlwind-class WarShip)|CSR ''William Adams'']], the ''[[Congress]]''-class frigate [[Magpie|CSR ''Magpie'']]<ref name="WORp108"/> and ''[[Vincent (WarShip class)|Vincent Mk. 42]]''-class<ref name="FR:Cp18"/> 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>
