In October [[3071]], the Eagles received orders from Draconis March Intelligence Command, which ordered the unit to strike the [[Outworlds Alliance]] planet of [[Ramora]] in preemptive attack against Blakist forces. Leaving behind the unit's Fourth BattleMech Battalion and the Seventy-seventh Armor to garrison Kilbourne they attacked.

The units on the strike mission used pirate points to slip by the planet's would-be Blakist defenders. Lt. Colonel Lewis identified the defenders as [[Clan Snow Raven]]. Despite their fast entry, the world's protectors were waiting for them. A [[Trinary|trinary]] from the [[6th Raven Battle (Clan Snow Raven)|Sixth Raven Battle]] [[Cluster]] and the [[Alliance Borderers|Outworlds Alliance Borderers]] moved to engage them in a battle. The Eagles won the day but suffered fifty percent casualties including their lead strategist, Lt. Colonel Lewis.

After salvaging Clan equipment the unit returned to base only to find the rest of the Sixth Raven Battle Cluster was striking back at them. The Seventy-seventh Armor's artillery assets solely held back the angry Clanners and their Alliance airborne allies. [[Colonel]] [[Tam Lafayette]]'s battered command managed to tip the balance of the battle and led to the destruction of the entire Snow Raven Cluster.

Shortly after the battle, Lafayette contacted March's intelligence command to report what happened and discovered that command never ordered them to strike the Alliance at all. A false order from unknown parties possibly caused the Eagles to trigger the border war with the newly-arrived Clan.<ref name=MSUp105/>
