The Coyotes chose to ignore Verne, and instead proceeded to strip Vinton of resources. Clearwater left Vinton at the end of March, accompanied by the ''Blood of the Coyote'' and Epsilon and Rho Galaxies, while resources and materials were being systematically being stripped off the planet. Delta Galaxy remained in place on Vinton until July, overseeing both the removal of resources and the testing of the civilian population; those civilians considered useful were deported offworld, those who resisted were killed, and those deemed worthless were left behind. Delta Galaxy lifted off from Vinton in July, after which the ''Windrunner'' bombarded a number of cities across the planet from orbit, initiating mass fires that swiftly spread across the dry surface of the planet, leaving Vinton burning in her wake.<ref name="WoRp130"/>

The next visitors to Vinton were from [[Clan Blood Spirit]]. The Blood Spirits had made a number of gains in 3073 from other Clans suffering badly from the chaos in the Homeworlds, securing holdings on [[Albion (Clan System)|Albion]] and [[Niles (Clan System)|Niles]] as well as gaining new military forces from the surviving elements of [[Clan Hell's Horses]] and [[Clan Fire Mandrill]] forces on Niles in the process, which were incorporated into the Blood Spirit [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Zeta Galaxy]] after the Blood Spirits successfully defeated various Coyote Clusters. Khan [[Troy Boques]] dispatched Zeta to Vinton, to see if the Coyote invasion had left anything valuable or useful in the system; when Zeta arrived in October, the Blood Spirits discovered that Vinton had largely been abandoned, but managed to make contact with Verne. The defending forces at Verne - a single [[Nova]] of troops - were still alive, and the Blood Spirits quickly provided assistance and emergency aid to the survivors, while becoming aware of the mass devastation inflicted on the other Diamond Shark holdings. The Blood Spirits then transported the surviving civilian and VDC warriors to Albion, including a Diamond Shark Merchant Factor named Lorenzo.<ref name="WoRp133">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 133–134: "Rise of the Blood Spirit"</ref>

Over the course of the following months the Diamond Shark survivors from Vinton were transported to the [[Colleen]] system, where the VDC warriors were demobilized and reintegrated into the civilian castes, before being transported on to Albion. Through successful Trialing Lorenzo ultimately obtained control of a ''[[Scout (JumpShip class)|Scout]]''-class JumpShip, the [[Troy (Individual Scout-class JumpShip)|CBS ''Troy'']], along with a single ''[[Condor (DropShip class)|Condor]]''-class DropShip, and led the Diamond Shark survivors on an extended adventure through the Deep Periphery and on to the [[Chainelane Isles]].<ref name="WoRp134">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 134: "Lorenzo's Run"</ref>
