The [[Wars of Reaving]] claimed the ''Ophidian''; in September [[3073]] the Steel Vipers were engaged in attempting to absorb or destroy the [[Kindraa Mattila-Carrol]] presence on [[Glory (system)|Glory]] when forces from [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] arrived in the system.

[[saKhan]] [[Kelton Myers]] moved the Goliath Scorpion forces into orbit above Glory and was immediately challenged by the Steel Vipers, who declared the Scorpions to be ''[[dezgra]]'' and had the ''Ophidian'' and the accompanying ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Silver Snake|CSV ''Silver Snake'']] open fire on the Scorpion ships without waiting for any response. The ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer [[Auriga|CGS ''Auriga'']] was badly damaged by the initial volley from the ''Ophidian'', and both the Viper and Scorpion fleets promptly launched [[DropShip]]s and [[aerospace fighter]]s as the Scorpions launched a ferocious defense.<ref name="WORp125"/>
