Wars of Reaving
As Khan Vlad Ward attempted to depart the Clan Homeworlds, he and the Khans of Clan Coyote negotiated a series of material and unit transfers. In return, the Wolves agreed to ease transfer of Clan Wolf Homeworlds to the Coyotes. The timeline for this transfer began to tighten in early 3071, after the nuclear attack on the Wolf Occupation Zone capital of Tamar.[6] On April 10, Clan Wolf deployed the First Wolf Lancers to help escort their genetic repositories off Strana Mechty and deliver them to Tranquil, where a flotilla was forming to depart to the Inner Sphere. News of the operation prompted the Clan Grand Council to Abjure the Wolves on April 15. Ostensibly to enforce the Abjurement, Clan Coyote Trial for and won the right to Abjure their allies, defeating units from Clan Goliath Scorpion and Clan Steel Viper on the Plains of Kerensky on Strana Mechty.[7]
For the next few weeks, the Wolf exodus continued unmolested while Clan Coyote, under the command of saKhan Raven Clearwater[8], took Possession immobile facilities. However, by the end of the first month, Clans Blood Spirit, Steel Viper, and Cloud Cobra grew impatient with the Abjurement, and voided the outcome of the Trials. Clan Steel Viper moved against Clan Wolf Possession on Grant's Station, beginning with dogfighting above the planet. Of the defending Wolf Trinary, only three aerospace fighters returned, but not before destroying one Viper Dropship and sending a second out of control. Once the Viper forces had landed outside New Thebes, the Wolves relied on waves of battle armor infantry and conventional vehicles to slow the Viper advance. The determined defense continued for three days, but disappeared on the third night in response to landings by Clan Goliath Scorpion.

Notes
- According to a blog posting by author Blaine Lee Pardoe, back when he created the first map of Clan space (for the 1991 Wolf Clan Sourcebook) he named the Grant’s Station system after the antique shop that his parents owned in Galesburg, Michigan (Grant’s Antique Market).
