In [[3072]], the renamed '''Forty-fourth Battle Cluster''' and the [[27th Strike (Clan Coyote)|Twenty-seventh Strike Cluster]] hit the Steel Vipers' [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Beta Galaxy]] positions on [[Londerholm]], destroying the [[195th Striker (Clan Steel Viper)|195th Striker Cluster]] in the early stages of the fighting. As the battle progressed, the Vipers' [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Gamma Galaxy]] caught the Coyote force in a flank attack. The assault Clusters rolled over the Coyotes, destroying them. Only a few survived to be taken as bondsmen.<ref name=WoR106>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 106</ref>
