History[edit]
The Aegis-class heavy cruiser CSR White Terror was a WarShip from the Clan Snow Raven.[3]
In 3052, while on loan to Clan Jade Falcon, the CSR White Terror had assigned as its DropShip compliment the Claustrophobia, a Union-class DropShip operated by Clan Jade Falcon.[4]
As of 3061 the CSR White Terror was one of five WarShips that made up the Snow Raven Swift Wing Naval Assault Star. The White Terror had only recently rejoined the Swift Wing Naval Assault Star,[3] having been on loan to the Clan Jade Falcon touman for some time with the 12th Falcon Regulars.[5] The White Terror continued to serve in the Swift Wing Naval Assault Star throughout the 3060s alongside the McKenna-class battleship CSR James McKenna, the Cameron-class battlecruiser CSR Blizzard, the Sovetskii Soyuz-class heavy cruiser CSR White Cloud and the Lola III-class destroyer CSR Spur.[6]
The White Terror would serve in the Swift Wing Naval Assault Star until the 5th of January 3069.[1] The White Cloud had been destroyed two years earlier by the Draconis Combine,[6] and it was on the 5th of January 3069 that the White Terror and the three other vessels remaining in the Star were destroyed in the Ramora system of the Outworlds Alliance.[1][2]
The White Terror took heavy damage when a terrorist DropShip already docked with it, the Bucolic, blew itself up as the crew of the White Terror were fighting against other terrorist ships and Q-Ships. The explosion left the White Terror with a gaping hole through her main drive and saturated in heavy radiation levels.[1][2]
The terrorists who destroyed the Swift Wing Naval Assault Star were either from or backed by the Word of Blake, but used Draconis Combine vessels and tactics when they destroyed the Snow Raven WarShips.[2]
