History
As at 3061 the Vincent-class corvette Huninn was a WarShip within the Clan Snow Raven touman and was serving as the CSR Huninn, one of ten WarShips that made up the Lum Garrison Fleet. Paired with the Essex-class destroyer CSR Eternity the Huninn was serving as a guard vessel for the orbital factories located at various LaGrange points above Lum.[1]
One of the Snow Raven ships known to have been lost during the Jihad, the Huninn was one of the ships of the Ice Storm Naval Star committed to support forces from the Ghost Bear Dominion; the Ice Storm Naval Star lost four WarShips during the course of the conflict, the Aegis-class heavy cruisers CSR Blue Quest and CSR Scabbard, the York-class destroyer CSR Corvidae and the Huninn.[2]
The Scabbard was lost at Dyev,.[3] and the Blue Quest, was destroyed along with the Corvidae during the battle to secure the Titan Yards in 3078.[4] The Huninn was lost during the battle for New Earth; targeted for liberation by the allied coalition as a part of Operation SCOUR, a contingent of roughly four Galaxies of mixed Clan forces drawn from the Lyran Alliance front of the Operation struck at New Earth on the 8th of February 3078, meeting heavy resistance.[5]
The initial attack was rebuffed, with the Clan forces having retreated by mid-February; while the media reported that the SDS in the New Earth system had been destroyed or at least heavily damaged, it also reported that up to four Clan WarShips had been destroyed, and that the Clan forces had been forced to retreat due to the presence of not just the anticipated Protectorate Militia Divisions and Militia Division, but also at least one Shadow Division. There were also unsubstantiated rumours that the forces from the Ghost Bears, Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Wolf had arrived at different times, with the Ghost Bears arriving early, and then failed to work together.[6] One of the destroyed WarShips was subsequently identified as the Aegis-class heavy cruiser CJF Frost Falcon;[7] another was the Volga-class transport CGB Ursine Boatman,[8] and the third was the Huninn.[2]
