[[Star Admiral]] [[Humphrey Truscott]], the commanding officer of the ''Pompeii'', was stunned to discover that the Tanis system was no longer under the control of either the Star Adders or their allies, [[Clan Cloud Cobra]]; instead, the nadir jump point was guarded by three ''[[Carrier]]''-class [[DropShip]]s and a significant [[aerospace fighter]] force bearing the colors of [[Clan Burrock]]. Admiral Truscott immediately ordered the JumpShip [[Cancer|CSA ''Cancer'']] to jump out and relay the information back to the Clan; even as the ''Cancer'' jumped, the Adder forces came under attack, with both of the other JumpShips destroyed even as they were launching their DropShips. The resulting engagement was brutal, with just one ''Carrier'' and a handful of fighters left active after the battle; the ''Pompeii'' managed to escape from the Tanis system by hot-charging her jump drive, but the emergency jump inflicted catastrophic damage on the K-F Drive and the result was a fatal misjump. The mangled, twisted wreckage of the ''Pompeii'' appeared from hyperspace at her destination some eight months after initiating the fatal jump from Tanis.<ref name="WORp112"/> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Field Manual: Crusader Clans]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' * ''[[The Wars of Reaving]]'' [[Category: Individual WarShips]] [[Category: Individual Transports]] [[Category: Individual Volga-class WarShips]]
