Having survived the maelstrom in the [[Clan Homeworlds]] referred to as the [[Wars of Reaving]] as well as the [[Jihad]], the ''Wild Swan'' was still in service with the Snow Ravens in [[3079]] as a part of the [[Eden Rose Naval Transport Star (Clan Snow Raven)|Eden Rose Naval Transport Star]], serving alongside the ''Scavenger'' and the surviving Snow Raven ''Potemkins'': the [[Bonaventure (Individual Potemkin-class WarShip)|CSR ''Bonaventure'']], [[Eden Rose|CSR ''Eden Rose'']], [[Epimetheus (Individual Potemkin-class WarShip)|CSR ''Epimetheus'']], and [[Treachery|CSR ''Treachery'']]. In common with the other WarShips of the Eden Rose Naval Transport Star the ''Wild Swan'' had been stationed above a world in the [[Outworlds Alliance]] since [[3073]] and hadn't moved since, leading to speculation that the ''Scavenger'' and the other ships were somehow serving as industrial sites of some kind.<ref name="FR:Cp18">''Field Report: Clans'', pp. 18–19: "Fleet Assets"</ref>

In or around [[3090]] the [[Raven Alliance]] found its need for a dedicated transport fleet of WarShips lessening, and Diamond Shark Khan Nagasawa saw an opportunity for a beneficial trade. In [[3091]] he proposed to [[Clan Snow Raven]] that four Diamond Shark WarShips be exchanged for four Snow Raven WarShips. This proved a contentious proposal for the warriors of the Snow Raven ''[[touman]]'', but ultimately the trade was agreed upon. The Diamond Sharks transferred four WarShips to the Snow Ravens—the ''[[Nightlord]]''-class battleship ''[[Terror of the Deep]]'', the ''[[Essex]]''-class destroyers ''[[Tracy]]'' and ''[[Architeuthis]]'' and the ''[[Fredasa (WarShip class)|Fredasa]]''-class transport ''[[Kutkh|Swift Strike]]''—and in exchange received three ''[[Potemkin]]''-class cruisers (the ''[[Epimetheus (Individual Potemkin-class WarShip)|Epimetheus]]'', ''[[Treachery]]'', and ''Wild Swan'') and the ''Volga''-class transport ''Scavenger''.<ref name="FR:Cp18"/><ref name="ER:3145p74">''Era Report: 3145'', pp. 74–76: "Alliance Naval Star"</ref><ref name="FM:3145p166">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 166: "The Alliance Fleet"</ref>

The Diamond Sharks evidently renamed the four ships, although it is unclear exactly what the four ships were renamed to. Three ''Potemkins'' were active amongst the various Khanates of [[Clan Sea Fox]] in the [[Dark Age]] with names previously unseen in canon, suggesting that the ''Epimetheus'', ''Treachery'' and ''Wild Swan'' correspond to these three ships, but this has yet to be confirmed. The three newly-detailed ''Potemkins'' are the ''[[Atlantean]]'', the [[ArcShip]] of the [[Skate Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Skate Khanate]], the ''[[Abyssal]]'', home to the Skate Khanate's [[Beta Aimag (Skate Khanate)|Beta Aimag]] and the ''[[Voidswimmer]]'', home to the [[Delta Aimag (Spina Khanate)|Delta Aimag]] of the [[Spina Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Spina Khanate]].<ref name="FM:3145p169">''Field Manual: 3145'', pp. 169–170: "Clan Sea Fox"</ref>
