−	After [[Khan]] [[Brett Andrews]]' attempt in [[3069]] to have the Falcons declared ''[[dezgra]]'' for their continuing exposure to the [[Inner Sphere]] was rejected by the [[Grand Council]], [[Clan Steel Viper]] launched an aggressive campaign against the Jade Falcon enclaves in the [[Clan Homeworlds]], and the ''White Aerie'' was soon on the front lines.<ref name="WORp46+">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 46–47: "Exodus Requiem"</ref>	+	After [[Khan]] [[Brett Andrews]]' attempt in [[3069]] to have the Falcons declared ''[[dezgra]]'' for their continuing exposure to the [[Inner Sphere]] was negated by the [[Grand Council]], [[Clan Steel Viper]] launched an aggressive campaign against the Jade Falcon enclaves in the [[Clan Homeworlds]], and the ''White Aerie'' was soon on the front lines.<ref name="WORp46+">''Wars of Reaving'', p. 46-47, "Exodus Requiem"</ref>
−	The first Steel Viper strike was against the Jade Falcon enclaves on [[Ironhold]], where the ''White Aerie'' and the other ships of the [[Emerald Talon Naval Assault Star (Clan Jade Falcon)|Emerald Talon Star]] fought to try and block the Steel Viper forces from landing. The Emerald Talon Star managed to blunt the first wave of attacks, but the arrival of the Steel Viper flagship, the ''[[Nightlord]]''-class battleship [[Dark Asp|CSV ''Dark Asp'']], and the ''[[Cameron (WarShip class)|Cameron]]''-class battlecruiser [[Zalman's Endeavor|CSV ''Zalman's Endeavor'']] stymied the Jade Falcon's resistance in space, with the Emerald Talon Star being pushed back while the landing forces were escorted to the planet by three other Steel Viper WarShips, the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Steel Python|CSV ''Steel Python'']], the ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer [[Snake Pit|CSV ''Snake Pit'']] and the ''[[Whirlwind]]''-class destroyer [[Snake in the Grass (Individual Whirlwind-class WarShip)|CSV ''Snake in the Grass'']].<ref name="WORp46+"/>	+	The first Steel Viper strike was against the Jade Falcon enclaves on [[Ironhold]], where the ''White Aerie'' and the other ships of the [[Emerald Talon Naval Assault Star (Clan Jade Falcon)|Emerald Talon Star]] fought to try and block the Steel Viper forces from landing.

−	The Jade Falcons within the Homeworlds were quickly pushed back across multiple fronts; the Emerald Talon Star fought again above [[Lum]] in February [[3070]], Lum being the last Jade Falcon enclave in the homeworlds outside [[Strana Mechty]] to survive. The Steel Viper forces were led by the ''[[Essex]]''-class destroyer [[Martial Legacy|CSV ''Martial Legacy'']], which had successfully bid for the right to lead the Steel Viper fleet against the Falcons.

−	The ''White Aerie'' was selected as part of Clan Jade Falcon's bid for [[ilClan]]. From Rigil Kentarus, the ship was part of the Falcon's Warship fleet making their assault on the Sol System's Zenith Jump Point in early part of 3151. The six-warship fleet was engaged by Republic's surviving Warships and massive capital missile armed battle stations. As the battle between the fleets ensued, ''White Aerie'' would take significant damage from the ''Lola III'' Class Destroyer, ''[[Triumphus]]'', where it's crew was willing sacrifice the ship in the exchange for damaging the Falcon's Warship. After the battle, while operational, the ship was significantly damaged.<ref>''IlClan'', pp. 34–35, 55–56: Zenith Jump Point & The Death Ride of the Republic</ref>	+	In the mid-3140s the ''White Aerie'' was attacked by [[Lyran Commonwealth]] fighters at [[Wroclaw]].
