In the year 3070 Clan Steel Viper fought two large scale Trials of Possession for the world of Lum, first against Clan Jade Falcon and then against Clan Snow Raven.
Against the Falcons
In February 3070, the Steel Viper Naval Reserve arrived in the Lum system to rid Clan space of the last Clan Jade Falcon enclave outside Strana Mechty. After fierce bidding, Alpha Galaxy won the right to destroy the Falcons. After warning Clan Snow Raven not to interfere, the Naval Reserve closed quickly with the already battered Emerald Talon Naval Assault Star. Having won the honor do be lead vessel, the Essex-class CSV Martial Legacy leads her fleetmates into a brutal hour-long battle that destroys the Liberator-class CJF Gauntlet, Black Lion-class CJF Blue Aerie, and the Carrack-class CFJ Ironhold Provider. The Black Lion-class CJF White Aerie is badly wounded and is forced to jump away to Strana Mechty. After making planetfall, the Seventy-fourth Battle Cluster is quickly overwhelmed. Less then a Star of Falcon Warriors are left alive to be claimed as isorla.[1]
