==History==
As of [[3061]] the ''[[Lola III]]''-class Destroyer '''''Anaconda''''' was a [[WarShip]] within the [[Clan Steel Viper]] [[Clan Steel Viper Touman|''touman'']] and was serving as the CSV ''Anaconda''. The ''Anaconda'' was one of two ''Lola III''-class vessels in service with the Steel Vipers at this point, the sister ship being the [[Snake Pit|CSV ''Snake Pit'']].<ref name="FM:WCp138+">''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 138-139, "Naval Assets"</ref>

In November [[3073]] the ''Anaconda'' joined a task force being assembled by [[ilKhan]] [[Brett Andrews]] to deal with the [[Society]] and [[Bandit Caste]] problems affecting numerous Steel Viper holdings during the widespread [[HPG]] blackout across the [[Clan Homeworlds]]. Joining the massive ''[[Leviathan Prime]]''-class battleship [[Perigard Zalman (Individual Leviathan-class WarShip)|CSV ''Perigard Zalman'']] as well as the ''[[Essex]]''-class destroyer [[Martial Legacy|CSV ''Martial Legacy'']] and the ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Sanra Mercer (Individual Sovetskii Soyuz-class WarShip)|CSV ''Sanra Mercer'']], the ''Anaconda'' and the other vessels provided transport and support for an assembled ground force consisting of the entire of [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Alpha]], [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Beta]] and [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Delta Galxies]].<ref name="WORp46+">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 46-47, "Infestation"</ref>

The task force was responsible for relieving the besieged Steel Viper enclave at Station Zebra on [[Grant's Station]]; the other enclaves on the world had been conquered by Bandit forces in a campaign launched by the bandits in January [[3072]]. The ''Anaconda'' and the other vessels in the task force provided support during the ground campaign and subsequent investigation, only to then find themselves having to support internal Reavings when a mysterious plague swept through the population on the planet, including some of the warriors who had fought or been stationed on Grant's Station.<ref name="WORp46+"/>

''Anaconda'' was one of the Steel Viper WarShips which attempted to defend [[New Kent]] during the [[Trial of Annihilation|annihilation]] of Clan Steel Viper in December [[3075]]. Facing off against naval forces from [[Clan Blood Spirit|Clans Blood Spirit,]] [[Clan Cloud Cobra|Cloud Cobra]], [[Clan Goliath Scorpion|Goliath Scorpion]], [[Clan Star Adder|Star Adder]] and [[Clan Stone Lion|Stone Lion]]. The ''Anaconda'' was the first of the Steel Viper WarShips to be taken out of the fight, less than an hour after the naval battle in the New Kent system began; a [[Star]] of marines from Clan Cloud Cobra boarded the ''Anaconda'', and while they couldn't seize control of the entire ship, they did manage to steer the ''Anaconda'' out of the position in the Steel Viper formation. This proved a critical move, as the ''Anaconda'' blocked the firing arc of the [[Snake Leader|CSV ''Snake Leader'']] long enough for the ''[[McKenna's Pride]]'' to slip past and into range for a devastating broadside that ripped open the rear of the ''[[Congress]]''-class frigate and left the Steel Viper flagship venting into space after a series of explosions that snapped her keel.<ref name="WORp150+">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 150-151, "Focused Aggression"</ref>
