The '''178th Adder Sentinels''' has battled Clans [[Clan Blood Spirit|Blood Spirit]], [[Clan Coyote|Coyote]], [[Clan Diamond Shark|Diamond Shark]], [[Clan Mongoose|Mongoose]] and [[Clan Smoke Jaguar|Smoke Jaguar]] over the course of its history.
  
 
As of [[3059]], the 178th was serving on [[Priori]] together with [[Rho Provisional Galaxy (Clan Star Adder)|Rho Provisional Galaxy]]'s [[362nd Adder Sentinels (Clan Star Adder)|362nd Sentinels]].

In 3072 the 178th was serving on [[Brim]] when it paid witness to the attempted annexation of a [[Clan Snow Raven]] enclave by [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]], who had dispatched [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|Delta Galaxy]] under [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Lincoln Dinour]] to capture the Snow Raven holdings. Dinour had landed two [[Cluster]]s of troops at the enclave - which consisted of a city of some two million civilians and a [[Sylph]] factory - only to discover that the enclave was defended by a larger force than anticipated, and that the force in question was affiliated with the [[Society]]. The defenders were evidently a mix of Snow Raven ''[[solahma]]'' abandoned by the Snow Ravens as they made their desperate exodus to the [[Outworlds Alliance]] and other Snow Raven warriors recruited by the Society. The Delta Galaxy forces refused the call for a ''[[batchall]]'' from the defenders, and the resulting battle spilled over into a nearby terraforming research area.<ref name="WORp95">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 95-96, "Sandbagging the Breach"</ref>

When stray shots exchanged during the battle breached several containment tanks in the research area, the resulting explosion destroyed half of the defending forces and the majority of the Goliath Scorpion forces. An enraged Galaxy Commander Dinour, convinced that the explosion was a prearranged trap, ordered the ''[[Nightlord]]''-class battleship [[Atropos|CGS ''Atropos'']] to raze the city from orbit, killing all those present. The nearby Star Adder enclave viewed the destruction of the enclave with mounting horror, and Star Adder [[Star Colonel]] [[Erik Marghar]] issued a call for a [[Trial of Reaving]] against Dinour.<ref name="WORp95"/>

What neither the Goliath Scorpion or Star Adder forces had realized during their trial was that Society forces based in the other two Snow Raven enclaves on Brim had gathered and been observing the Trial in secret; as the Star Adder forces began to clear the battlefield, the Society forces attacked. While the Society troops took heavy losses, their fresh warriors and advanced technology successfully defeated the 178th.<ref name="WORp95"/>
