History
Clan Invasion
The CSJ Streaking Mist was originally built for the SLDF, the ship was used as part of General Aleksandr Kerensky's Exodus Fleet. Later the ship became part of Clan Smoke Jaguar's touman of WarShips. It became the Clan's flagship by the 31st Century. In 3058 it was serving as a part of The Jaguar's Den keshik alongside the Congress-class frigate CSJ FireCrest and two Essex-class destroyers, CSJ The Iowa and the CSJ Sabre Cat.[1]
Death of Clan Smoke Jaguar
The Streaking Mist served during the invasion of Huntress by the 2nd Star League as transport for Khan Lincoln Osis and his reserve forces from Strana Mechty. Ultimately, it was used for the severely wounded Khan withdraw to Strana Mechty.[2] [3] [4] Two Smoke Jaguar WarShips - the Streaking Mist and the Potemkin-class cruiser CSJ Osis' Pride - were unaccounted for following the final battles at Huntress.[5]
The Streaking Mist was actually obtained by the Bandit Caste figure known as The Jaguar - actually former Smoke Jaguar Galaxy Commander Russou Howell - and was involved in his raids against the Clans from 3063 onwards.[6]<rerf name="WoRp89">The Wars of Reaving, p. 89, "Military Commands (3072)"</ref>
The Wars of Reaving
Priori
In late 3073 Clan Star Adder found themselves in increasing need of both the orbital facilities and resources available from the world of Priori - particularly the abundent foodstuffs. Khan Stansilav N'Buta dispatched a force consisting of Gamma, Mu and Sigma Galaxies under the overall command of Star Adder Loremaster Fletcher Daniels to capture the system. N'Buta also dispatched several WarShips as escorts, including the Vincent Mk. 42-class corvette CSA Pegasus, the Fredasa-class corvette CSA Arcadian Asp and the recently-reactivated Samarkand-class carrier CSA 'Yorktown.[7]
When the Adder task force arrived in the Priori system in late November it discovered a sizeable defensive force assembled in the system ready to oppose them; in addition to three vessels missing from the Star Adder naval reserve and now flying under Clan Burrock colors, the Streaking Mist was in the system as well. The Burrock forces waited for the Star Adders to approach before engaging in battle near Priori's second moon, Opal. The senior Star Adder naval officer was Star Admiral Lilith Paik, and opposing her was Burrock Star Admiral Kirc Van Houten; Van Houten began by using Opal to anchor his position and maneuvre his smaller fleet into a superior position, targeting the combined firepower of the ships under his command at the Pegasus while throwing his AeroSpace Fighters forward to attack the Star Adder DropShips. Paik responded to this opening by launching three Stars of fighters tasked with attacking the Streaking Mist, forcing the battlecruiser to begin withdrawing; the Streaking Mist attempted to use the Arcadian Asp as cover, the Arcadian Asp having been crippled by damage, but Paik was determined to try and capture the Streaking Mist and dispatched the Yorktown in hot pursuit. The Yorktown launched a number of small craft with marine boarding parties aboard in an attempt to board the Streaking Mist, but the ship managed to reach a safe jump point and promptly jumped, the hyperspace wake leaving a number of the Yorktown's small craft floating as twisted and mangled debris behind the Streaking Mist.[7]
With the Streaking Mist gone the remaining Burrock ships attempted to retreat; Van Houten's gamble with the fighters had inflicted damage on the Star Adder DropShips, with half of Mu Galaxy destroyed along with their transport vessels, but the gamble had left the fighters out of position to cover the Burrock WarShips, who were pressed hard by the Adders until they reached the protective umbrella offered by the orbital shipyard's defenses and the small SDS network based on Priori. While the Adder craft pulled back to long range and sniped at the various batteries, the Burrocks continued to retreat away until they reached a pirate point and jumped, leaving Priori to its fate. The resulting war on the ground would take almost a year to resolve, with the Star Adders finally gaining complete control of the world in October 3074.[7]
Waypoint 531
In April 3074 a Clan Goliath Scorpion task force operating under the overall command of saKhan Connor Rood and consisting of Beta Galaxy and the Congress-class frigate CGS Bernlad, the Potemkin-class cruiser CGS Karttikeya and the Goliath Scorpion flagship, the McKenna-class battleship CGS Lei Kung. The task force was charged with investigating the various systems that made up the state known as Nueva Castile in the Deep Periphery, and by June had travelled as far as Waypoint 531 were a Binary from the Third Seekers had been left behind there.[8]
What the task force did find at Waypoint 531 was a battered Black Lion-class battlecruiser - the Streaking Mist. The crew of the Streaking Mist were moving supplies from the cache at the waypoint onto the Streaking Mist when the Scorpion task force arrived, and after some initial hesitation Rood ordered Star Admiral Towie to engage. As the Scorpion forces moved to intercept, the Streaking Mist evaded the attempt to box her in and struck at the Bernlad, inflicting substantial damage to the rear of the Bernlad, including her engine decks. The Streaking Mist jumped when it reached the nearby jump point, taking half of the contents of the Scorpion cache with it.[8]
