On the 5th of March [[3060]] the DCS ''Haruna'' and the other WarShips within Task Force Serpent engaged in battle with two [[Vincent (WarShip class)|''Vincent Mk 42'']]-class corvettes and a ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz]]''-class heavy cruiser above the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] planet of [[Huntress]]. The ''Haruna'' survived this battle,<ref name="TOTCp10">"Twilight of the Clans", p. 10, "The Conquest Begins"</ref> and was then embroiled in a second battle against Smoke Jaguar naval forces above Huntress on the 19th of March. This time, Task Force Serpent was fighting Smoke Jaguar forces retreating from [[Operation Bulldog]] in the [[Inner Sphere]]; the Task Force faced two more ''Vincent Mk 42'' class corvettes and a powerful ''[[Liberator (WarShip class)|Liberator]]''-class heavy cruiser, and the ''Haruna'' was one of the Task Force ships that, while damaged, survived the engagement and remained battle-ready.<ref name="TOTCp12">"Twilight of the Clans", p. 12, "The Conquest Continues"</ref>
