The ISS ''Emerald'' participated in what became known as the Battle of Trafalgar against forces from [[Clan Ghost Bear]] in the [[Deep Periphery]] on 15 December 3059.<ref name="TOTCp9">''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 9: "Beyond the Periphery"</ref> Then on 5 March [[3060]], the ISS ''Emerald'' and the other WarShips within Task Force Serpent engaged in battle with two [[Vincent (WarShip class)|''Vincent Mk 42'']]-class corvettes and a ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz (WarShip class)|Sovetskii Soyuz]]''-class heavy cruiser above the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] planet of [[Huntress]]. The ''Emerald'' survived the battle,<ref name="TOTCp10">''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 10: "The Conquest Begins"</ref> only to then have to join the rest of Task Force Serpent in a second violent naval battle above Huntress just two weeks later on the 19th of March, this time fighting against Smoke Jaguar forces retreating from [[Operation Bulldog]] in the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name="TOTCp12">''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 12: "The Conquest Continues"</ref>

The ''Emerald's'' sister ship, the ''Starlight'', was destroyed in the course of this desperate battle, along with the Smoke Jaguar ''Vincent Mk 42'' that the ''Starlight'' had rammed. The ''Emerald'' suffered a great deal of damage during the battle, and after the battle was over it was decided that the ''Emerald'' was so heavily damaged that it should be abandoned.<ref name="TOTCp12"/>
