History
As at 3059 the York-class destroyer Pack Leader was a WarShip within the Clan Ice Hellion touman and was serving as the CIH Pack Leader.[1]
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 Helion 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.[2]
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 and Gamma Galaxies, soon joined by the Hell's Horses Iota Galaxy, which added the Volga-class transport 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.[3]
When the Ice Hellion naval forces were subsequently engaged above Vantaa by the Black Lion-class battlecruiser CJF Jade Aerie and the Sovetskii Soyuz-class heavy cruiser CJF Hawker there is no report of the Pack Leader being involved in the combat, although both other Alpha Naval Star Warships are mentioned by name and the loss of Ice Hellion naval and aerospace forces is detailed;[3] it is therefore likely that the Pack Leader was disabled or destroyed during the opening attack on Vantaa.
