The '''''Maelstorm''''' was one of three ''[[Volga]]''-class transports to be active within [[Clan Sea Fox]] in [[3145]]. The ''Maelstorm'' and her sister ships ''[[Liberator (Individual Volga-class WarShip)|Liberator]]'' and ''[[Megalodon]]'' were each home to one of the Clan sea Fox [[Aimag]]s; in the case of the ''Liberator'' this was [[Gamma Aimag (ilKhanate)|Gamma Aimag]] of the [[IlKhanate (Clan Sea Fox)|ilKhanate]] under the overall command of [[ovKhan]] [[Ginny Clarke]].<ref name="FM:3145p169">''Field Manual: 3145'', pp. 169–170: "Clan Sea Fox"</ref>

The provenance of the ''Maelstorm'' is something of a mystery; [[Clan Diamond Shark]] acquired a single ''Volga''-class [[WarShip]]—the [[Scavenger (Individual Volga-class WarShip)|CSR ''Scavenger'']]—from the [[Raven Alliance]] in or around [[3091]] as a result of negotiations between the Snow Ravens and Diamond Shark [[Khan]] Nagasawa, along with three ''[[Potemkin]]''-class cruisers.<ref name="ER:3145p74">''Era Report: 3145'', pp. 74–76: "Alliance Naval Star"</ref><ref name="FR:Cp18">''Field Report: Clans'', pp. 18–19: "Fleet Assets"</ref><ref name="FM:3145p166">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 166: "The Alliance Fleet"</ref> However, no other ''Volgas'' were known to still be in service in the [[Inner Sphere]] in [[3079]],<ref>''Field Report: Clans''</ref> and of the only other ''Volgas'' known to have been in service with the Diamond Sharks, the  [[Bold Venture|CDS ''Bold Venture'']] and the [[Speculator|CDS ''Speculator'']], the ''Bold Venture'' was destroyed by [[Clan Burrock]] forces during the exodus of the last Diamond Shark convoy from [[Vinton]] during the [[Wars of Reaving]]<ref name="WORp102">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 102: "Bearding the Shark"</ref> whilst the ''Speculator'' hadn't been positively identified since approximately [[3061]].<ref name="FM:WCp65">''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 65: "Naval Assets"</ref>
