In November [[3069]] the ''Steel Python'' was one of several Steel Viper WarShips to be directly involved in the assault by [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Alpha Galaxy]] against the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] world of [[Ironhold]], the first Jade Falcon target to be hit by the Steel Vipers following [[Khan]] [[Brett Andrews]] attempt to have the Jade Falcons declared ''[[dezgra]]'' and expelled from the [[Clan Homeworlds]].<ref name="WORp46">''Wars of Reaving'', p. 46, "Exodus Requiem"</ref>

A full [[Star]] of Steel Viper WarShips were responsible for deflecting the attempt by the Jade Falcons' [[Emerald Talon Assault Star (Clan Jade Falcon)|Emerald Talon Assault Star]] to disrupt the landing, with the ''Snake Pit'' acting as an escort vessel alongside the ''[[Whirlwind]]''-class destroyer [[Snake in the Grass (Individual Whirlwind-class WarShip)|CSV ''Snake in the Grass'']] and ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer [[Snake Pit|CSV ''Snake Pit'']] while the [[Cameron (WarShip class)|''Cameron'']]-class battlecruiser [[Zalman's Endeavor|CSV ''Zalman's Endeavor'']] and the Steel Viper flagship, the ''[[Nightlord]]''-class battleship [[Dark Asp|CSV ''Dark Asp'']], provided support. The actions of the ''Steel Python'' and other WarShips, joined by almost ten Stars of [[aerospace fighter]]s, were sufficient to push the defending Falcon WarShips far enough away that Alpha Galaxy could launch a full assault drop, securing the world within a month.<ref name="WORp46"/>

In February [[3072]], the [[Society]] was busily encouraging a revolt in the [[Clan Homeworlds]], a campaign that touched a number of Steel Viper enclaves and worlds. The Society's activities caused widespread confusion amongst the Clans, disrupting operations as [[HPG]]s mysteriously went offline or, worse still, began transmitting disruptive viruses. It was during February 3072 that the ''Steel Python'' fell victim to this confusion and suffered a misjump near the world of [[Brim]].<ref name="WORp94">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 94: "Trials of the Viper"</ref>
