History

In December 3068, after a very costly fight between Clan Snow Raven black navy forces against Clan Star Adder's Delta Naval Star which left Lum defended only by the damaged Lola III-class destroyer Bloody Talon, Beta Naval Star appeared and announced a Trial of Possession, for the Lum naval yards, and the senior Snow Raven officer present, Star Admiral Thomas Waters bid the entire of the Lum system's assets in defense out of sheer exasperation.

Waters' decision proved to be a very costly mistake for the Snow Ravens. When the Lum Shipyards tried to cover the Bloody Talon, which was facing down the Congress-class frigate CGS Bernlad, one of the escorting Goliath Scorpion DropShips, the Carthage, was penetrated by point defense weapons from the shipyards and exploded. This led the Bernlad to immediately fire a broadside on the Lum shipyards, which were subsequently targeted by other Goliath Scorpion vessels as viable targets. Three days later, the remains of the shipyards, perhaps half of which had been destroyed, were in the possession of the Goliath Scorpions, and there were no Snow Raven naval assets left in the system.
