After [[Khan]] [[Brett Andrews]]' attempt in [[3069]] to have the Falcons declared ''[[dezgra]]'' for their continuing exposure to the [[Inner Sphere]] was rejected by the [[Grand Council]], [[Clan Steel Viper]] launched an aggressive campaign against the Jade Falcon enclaves in the [[Clan Homeworlds]], and the ''Ironhold Provider'' was soon on the front lines.<ref name="WORp46+">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 46-47, "Exodus Requiem"</ref>

The first Steel Viper strike was against the Jade Falcon enclaves on [[Ironhold]], where the ''Ironhold Provider'' and the other ships of the [[Emerald Talon Naval Assault Star (Clan Jade Falcon)|Emerald Talon Star]] fought to try and block the Steel Viper forces from landing. The Emerald Talon Star managed to blunt the first wave of attacks, but the arrival of the Steel Viper flagship, the ''[[Nightlord]]''-class battleship [[Dark Asp|CSV ''Dark Asp'']], and the ''[[Cameron (WarShip class)|Cameron]]''-class battlecruiser [[Zalman's Endeavor|CJF ''Zalman's Endeavor'']] stymied the Jade Falcon's resistance in space, with the Emerald Talon Star being pushed back while the landing forces were escorted to the planet by three other Steel Viper WarShips, the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Steel Python|CSV ''Steel Python'']], the ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer [[Snake Pit|CSV ''Snake Pit'']] and the ''[[Whirlwind]]''-class destroyer [[Snake in the Grass (Individual Whirlwind-class WarShip)|CSV ''Snake in the Grass'']].<ref name="WORp46+"/>

The Jade Falcons within the Homeworlds were quickly pushed back across multiple fronts; the Emerald Talon Star fought again above [[Lum]] in February [[3070]], Lum being the last Jade Falcon enclave in the homeworlds outside [[Strana Mechty]] to survive. The Steel Viper forces were led by the ''[[Essex]]''-class destroyer [[Martial Legacy|CSV ''Martial Legacy'']], which had successfully bid for the right to lead the Steel Viper fleet against the Falcons. Despite the odds the four damaged WarShips of the Emerald Talon Star fought a three-hour naval battle to hold off the attacking Vipers; only when the ''Ironhold Provider'', the ''[[Black Lion]]''-class battlecruiser [[Blue Aerie|CJF ''Blue Aerie'']] and the ''[[Liberator (WarShip class)|Liberator]]''-class cruiser [[Gauntlet (Individual Liberator-class WarShip)|CJF ''Gauntlet'']] had all been destroyed did the last surviving ship from the Star, the ''Black Lion''-class [[White Aerie|CJF ''White Aerie'']], retreat to Strana Mechty.<ref name="WORp46+"/>
