On the 1st of May [[3072]], [[Aerospace Fighter|AeroSpace]] forces from '''Sterlington''' destroyed a [[JumpShip]] that had just arrived in the system, believing the ship to be a [[Word of Blake]] trick. The JumpShip was actually transporting [[ComStar]] [[HPG]] administration staff, who had been expelled from the [[Outworlds Alliance]].<ref name="JHS3076p22">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 22: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp50">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 50: "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

In [[3144]], the Raven Alliance attacked and conquered Sterlington and the nearby world of [[Kirbyville]]. Sterlington was defended by the [[3rd Periphery Guard|Third Periphery Guard]] at the time; the Raven Alliance forces made very effective use of their ''[[Hippogriff]]'' [[ProtoMech]]s as shock weapons, and in at least one notable instance the [[9th Raven Wing (Clan Snow Raven)|Ninth Raven Wing]] [[Cluster]] of [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Snow Raven)|Beta Galaxy]] managed to rout a dug-in contingent of the Third Periphery Guard by deploying [[Elemental (Battle Armor)|Elementals]] and [[Afreet]]s on the ground before dropping ''Hippogriffs'' onto the Third from a high altitude to sweep down. The sudden appearance of the ProtoMechs caused panic and disarray amidst the ranks of the Third, who promptly ran into the arms of a second wave of Raven forces.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp46"/>
