As at [[3059]] the ''[[York (WarShip)|York]]''-class destroyer '''''Pack Leader''''' was a [[WarShip]] within the [[Clan Ice Hellion]] [[Clan Ice Hellion Touman|''touman'']] and was serving as the CIH ''Pack Leader''.<ref name="FM:CCp88">''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 81, "Naval Assets"</ref>
As of [[3059]] the ''[[York (WarShip class)|York]]''-class destroyer '''''Pack Leader''''' was a [[WarShip]] within the [[Clan Ice Hellion Touman|Clan Ice Hellion ''touman'']] in the [[Alpha Naval Star (Clan Ice Hellion)|Alpha Naval Star]] and was serving as the CIH ''Pack Leader''.<ref name="FM:CCp88">''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 81: "Naval Assets"</ref>
 
  
When the Ice Hellions launched their invasion of the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] Occupation Zone in the [[Inner Sphere]] in mid-[[3071]] the ''Pack Leader'' was one of the WarShips deployed. One of the first actions conducted by all thirteen Ice Hellion WarShips including the ''Pack Leader'' was to secure the [[Dark Nebula]], destroying the small Jade Falcon naval force there and securing the largely-abandoned facility. As a part of the Ice Hellions Alpha Galaxy Naval Star the ''Pack Leader'' was then involved in the fleet action at [[Derf]] that saw the vast orbital supply station there destroyed thanks to a ferocious but ultimately unsuccessful defense by forces from Clan Jade Falcon's [[Mu Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Mu Galaxy]].<ref name="WoRp69+">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 69–71: "The Hellion Strikes"</ref>

The ''Pack Leader'' played an increasingly important part as both the Jade Falcons and [[Clan Hell's Horses]] began to work together against the Ice Hellions in [[3072]]; with the Ice Hellion forces driven back to three primary locations - the Dark Nebula, [[Evciler]] and [[Vantaa]] - the ''Pack Leader'' found it and the other ships within the Alpha Galaxy Naval Star at Vantaa, facing off forces from both the Jade Falcon [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Alpha]] and [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Gamma Galaxies]], soon joined by the Hell's Horses [[Iota Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Iota Galaxy]], which added the ''[[Volga]]''-class transport [[Mount Olympus|CHH ''Mount Olympus'']] to the Falcon's naval strength. The subsequent assault saw the ''Mount Olympus'' suffer heavy damage, but not before taking the ''Pack Leader'' out of the fight at least temporarily.<ref name="WoRp84+">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 84–85: "Icy Fire"</ref>

Following the battle at Vantaa the ''Pack Leader'' was claimed as ''[[isorla]]'' by the Hell's Horses,<ref name="JS:TBDp30">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 30, "Operation Ice Storm"</ref> who renamed the ship '''''Stampede''''.<ref name="WoRp175">''Wars of Reaving'', p. 175, "Clan Hell's Horses"</ref>

In the aftermath of the [[Jihad]] [[Clan Wolf]] began a series of strikes against the Hell's Horses territory in the Inner Sphere, and in January [[3081]] the ''Stampede'' and the ''[[Congress]]''-class frigate [[Bucephalus|CHH ''Bucephalus'']] were involved in the defense of [[Kirchbach]] in the face of a determined [[Trial of Possession]] from the Wolves' [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Gamma]] and [[Kappa Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Kappa Galaxies]] escorted by the [[Rogue (Individual Congress-class WarShip)|CWS ''Rogue'']], another ''Congress''-class frigate. The Wolf forces were overconfident, underestimating the Hell's Horses strength in the system, and the ''Stampede'' and the ''Bucephalus'' proceeded to inflict substantial damage on the ''Rogue''; Kappa Galaxy then lost almost half its strength on the approach to the planet as the DropShips were torn apart on approach. The attack was ultimately unsuccessful, with both Wolf Galaxies outfought on the ground and forced to surrender.<ref name="WoRp175"/>
