As of [[3061]], the ''[[Congress]]''-class frigate '''''Magpie''''' was a [[WarShip]] within the [[Clan Snow Raven]] [[Clan Snow Raven Touman|''touman'']] and was serving as the CSR ''Magpie'', one of five WarShips that made up the [[Brim Naval Assault Star (Clan Snow Raven)|Brim Naval Assault Star]].<ref name="FM:WCp129">''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 129: "Storm Crow Naval Pursuit Star"</ref>

During the [[Wars of Reaving]] the ''Magpie'' 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, arriving on the 16th of September [[3072]] and  escorted by an ad hoc star of damaged vessels which in addition to the ''Magpie'' included the [[Lord Death|CSR ''Lord Death'']], the ''[[York (WarShip class)|York]]''-class destroyer [[Corvidae|CSR ''Corvidae'']], the ''[[Whirlwind]]''-class destroyers [[Drake (Individual Whirlwind-class WarShip)|CSR ''Drake'']] and [[William Adams (Individual Whirlwind-class WarShip)|CSR ''William Adams'']] 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>

Having survived the Wars of Reaving and the [[Jihad]], the ''Magpie'' was one of the WarShips to be reactivated by the Snow Ravens during the [[Dark Age]]. In [[3145]], the ''Magpie'' was a part of the [[Ice Storm Naval Star (Clan Snow Raven)|Ice Storm Naval Star]]; as had been the case in [[3079]], the Ice Storm Naval Star consisted of the ''Magpie'', the ''[[Cameron (WarShip class)|Cameron]]''-class battlecruiser ''[[Ice Storm (Individual Cameron-class WarShip)|Ice Storm]]'', the ''[[Conqueror]]''-class carrier ''[[Ark Royal (Individual Conqueror-class WarShip)|Ark Royal]]'', the ''[[Whirlwind]]''-class destroyer ''[[Drake (Individual Whirlwind-class WarShip)|Drake]]'' and the ''[[Vincent]]''-class corvette ''[[Munnin]]''.<ref name="FM:3145p166">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 166: "The Alliance Fleet"</ref><ref name="FR:Cp18">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 18: "Fleet Assets"</ref> As a member of the Ice Storm Naval Star in 3145 the ''Magpie'' operating from [[Ramora]] as part of [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Snow Raven)|Alpha Galaxy]].<ref name="FM:3145p173">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 173: "Alpha Galaxy (Swift Wing Galaxy)"</ref>
