Affiliation Clan Jade Falcon
Parent Command Clan Jade Falcon touman

History[edit]

Prior to 3061, the Star battled the Cameron-class battlecruiser Ice Storm, a WarShip within the Clan Snow Raven touman, which was damaged by the Star.[1]

In November 3069, several Steel Viper WarShips were directly involved in the assault by Alpha Galaxy against the Clan Jade Falcon world of Ironhold, the first Jade Falcon target to be hit by the Steel Vipers following Khan Brett Andrews' attempt to have the Jade Falcons declared dezgra and expelled from the Clan Homeworlds.[2]

A full Star of Steel Viper WarShips were responsible for deflecting the attempt by the Jade Falcons' Emerald Talon Assault Star to disrupt the landing, with the Whirlwind-class destroyer Snake in the Grass acting as an escort vessel alongside the Lola III-class destroyer CSV Snake Pit and Aegis-class heavy cruiser CSV Steel Python while the Cameron-class battlecruiser CSV Zalman's Endeavor and the Steel Viper flagship, the Nightlord-class battleship CSV Dark Asp, provided support. The actions of the Snake in the Grass and the other WarShips, joined by almost ten Stars of aerospace fighters, were sufficient to push the defending Falcon WarShips far enough away that Alpha Galaxy could launch a full assault drop, securing the world within a month.[2]
