History
As at 3061 the Whirlwind-class destroyer Drake was a WarShip within the Clan Snow Raven touman and was serving as the CSR Drake, one of ten WarShips that made up the Lum Garrison Fleet. Paired with the York-class destroyer CSR Corvidae the Drake was serving as a reserve vessel, operating alongside the ships of the Fleet Command Star.[1]
During the Wars of Reaving the Drake was one of the escort vessels for the last major Snow Raven convory 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 CSR Lord Death, the Corvidae, the Whirlwind-class destroyer CSR William Adams, the Congress-class frigate CSR Magpie and Vincent-class corvette 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.[2]
During the Jihad the CSR Drake served as a part of Task Force CRONUS, the predominantly-Clan 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.[3]
