The ''[[Samarkand Block II (WarShip class)|Samarkand]]''-class carrier '''''Deal Breaker''''' was a [[Star League Defense Force]] [[WarShip]] that survived the [[Hegemony Campaign]] to liberate [[Terra]] from the forces of [[Stefan Amaris]], and subsequently followed [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] on the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]].

Languishing in mothballs for centuries as a part of the small [[Clan Diamond Shark]] naval cache in the [[Vinton]] system, the ''Deal Breaker'' was reactivated by the Diamond Sharks at some point between [[3067]] and [[3073]], and by January 3073 was the only Diamond Shark [[WarShip]] active in the Vinton system. While the Diamond Sharks had attempted to reactivate the other two WarShips in the Vinton naval cache, both had been too badly damaged by a comet that passed nearby in [[3011]] to be salvageable.<ref name="WoRp130">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 130: "Vengeance on Vinton"</ref>

Forces from [[Clan Coyote]] launched an invasion of Vinton in August 3073 and the ''Deal Breaker'' and the local [[SDS]] formed the first line of defense against the Coyote attack. The SDS destroyed the [[Broken Sea|CCS ''Broken Sea'']] and the [[Courage (Individual Lola III-class WarShip)|CCS ''Courage'']], and the ''Deal Breaker'' quickly gutted the ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer [[Honor of Ages|CCS ''Honor of Ages'']]. Despite this initial success, the ''Deal Breaker'' was unable to match the ''[[Cameron (WarShip class)|Cameron]]''-class battlecruiser ''[[Blood of the Coyote]]'', which swiftly smashed the former, even as several [[Star]]s of [[aerospace fighter]]s were destroying key components of the SDS to allow the Coyote ground forces to land.<ref name="WoRp130"/>
