As the bulk of the Clan [[WarShip]] fleets consist of former [[SLDF]] vessels that accompanied the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus fleet]] to the [[Pentagon Worlds]], even with periodic refits and upgrades, they had changed very little from those used during the [[Amaris Civil War]]. While the bulk of the Clans were content with this situation, the naval-focused [[Clan Snow Raven]] were not, and they sought to produce something designed to take full advantage of the advances developed by the Clans.<ref name=TRO3057R156/><ref name=TRO3057/>

The resulting ''Nightlord'' was the most advanced WarShip developed until the introduction of the mammoth ''[[Leviathan (WarShip class)|Leviathan]]'', boasting armor, firepower, and cargo capacity superior to the [[Star League era]] ''[[McKenna (WarShip class)|McKenna]]''. While serving as fleet and ''touman'' flagships for a number of Clans, the high cost and a large number of still serviceable ex-SLDF ships have greatly limited the volume of ''Nightlord''s outside the Snow Raven fleets, with [[Clan Ghost Bear]] boasting the lion's share.<ref name=TRO3057R156/><ref name=TRO3057/>

Few of the class survived to the [[ilClan era]]. Only the former Clan Snow Raven of the [[Raven Alliance]] are known to maintain any, though the [[Clan homeworlds]] boasted a handful before the cataclysmic [[Wars of Reaving]] and the loss of Inner Sphere contact with them.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 166</ref>

Carrying a suitably large weapons array for a Battleship, the ''Nightlord''s primary weapons are a series of [[Naval Autocannon]]s supported by capital-grade [[laser]]s, [[PPC]]s and [[Gauss rifle]]s. Two [[ER Large Laser]]s supporting a pair of [[NAC/25]]s, an [[NL55]], [[Medium NPPC]] and [[Medium N-Gauss]] are carried in the forward and aft weapons bays, with twin ER Large Lasers, two [[ER PPC]]s, [[NAC/10]], NAC/25, Medium N-Gauss and one [[NL35]], [[NL45]] and NL55 mounted on each forward and aft angle. Each broadside mounts two ER Large Lasers, two paired sets of NAC/10s and [[NAC/40]]s, an NL35 and NL45, another Medium NPPC and Medium NGauss. Carrying a hundred and fifty rounds for each Naval Autocannon class and two hundred and forty N-Gauss reloads, combined with two thousand seven hundred and two [[Double Heat Sink]]s give the ''Nightlord'' impressive endurance for its size and role.<ref name=TRO3057R156/><ref name=TRO3057/>

During this time, it was part of the invasion of the [[Republic of the Sphere]], where it supported the attack on [[Skye]].  In the Falcon's 2nd Battle for Skye, the ship fought the [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran]] Battlecruiser, [[Mjolnir#Named_Vessels|Yggdrasil]] in a brutal duel in December of [[3134]]. The Emerald Talon received a considerable amount of damage and was forced to withdraw from Skye.<ref>''Blood of the Isle'', p. 221, "Emerald Talon fights ''Yggdrasil'' over Skye and forced to retreat".</ref> The ship returned to the Falcon's [[Occupational Zone]] where it took part in the Jade Falcon Civil War. It served again as part of [[Malvina Hazen|Malvina Hazen's]] forces and was ultimately crippled by the Falcon's Aegis-Class Warship ''Jade Talon'' in the final battle of the war over [[Sudeten]].  Afterwards, Khan Hazen ordered the ship to be crashed into the capital city of Hammarr as an object lesson to the Clan.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 306, "Emerald Talon rammed into the planet as part of Hazen's clean up of Falcon politics".</ref>
