After the [[Word of Blake]] used nuclear weapons to scour [[Tamar]], the capital world of the Clan Wolf Occupation Zone, [[Khan]] [[Vlad Ward]] knew that he had to withdraw Clan Wolf from the Clan Homeworlds, particularly with [[Clan Hell's Horses]] already invading the Wolf Occupation Zone. The [[1st Wolf Lancers (Clan Wolf)|First Wolf Lancers]] traveled back to the Homeworlds and rendezvoused with the ''[[Feral Penance]]'', a [[DropShip]] bearing a number of Wolf scientists and the vast majority of the genetic stock for those [[Bloodname]]s exclusive to Clan Wolf from the genetic repository on [[Strana Mechty]]. The ''Feral Penance'' and the First Wolf Lancers then met up with the waiting ''Stealthy Kill'' even as outraged forces from [[Clan Steel Viper]] rounded up and executed Wolf lower caste members from the Blood Chapels on Strana Mechty as well as murdering Warriors from [[Clan Blood Spirit]] who objected to the Viper's actions, beginning a cycle of acts of violence which began to spread out into the city of Katyusha. This orgy of violence would consume much of the city and spread far beyond the Wolf Blood Chapels even as the ''Stealthy Kill'' jumped to [[Tranquil]].<ref name="WORp65+">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 65-67, "Merges and Moves"</ref>

On the 15th of April [[3071]], while the ''Stealthy Kill'' was still recharging her jump drive in the Tranquil system, Clan Wolf was [[Trial of Abjuration|Abjured]] by the Clan Council, narrowly avoiding a full [[Trial of Annihilation]]. Khan Ward charged those Wolf Warriors who planned to remain in the Homeworlds with defending the civilian population, while the ''Stealthy Kill'' crammed her holds full of as much equipment and as many civilians as she could carry, before making her journey back to the [[Inner Sphere]] bearing the genetic stock essential to Clan Wolf's survival.<ref name="WORp65+"/>
