History[edit]

As of 3061, the Cameron-class battlecruiser CSR Blizzard was a WarShip within the Clan Snow Raven touman, one of five WarShips that made up the Snow Raven Swift Wing Naval Assault Star.[1] The Blizzard continued to serve in the Swift Wing Naval Assault Star throughout the 3060s alongside the McKenna-class battleship CSR James McKenna, the Sovetskii Soyuz-class heavy cruiser CSR White Cloud, the Aegis-class heavy cruiser CSR White Terror and the Lola III-class destroyer CSR Spur.[2]

The Blizzard would serve in the Swift Wing Naval Assault Star until 5 January 3069; it was on this date that the Blizzard and the three other vessels remaining in the Star after the destruction of the White Cloud were destroyed in the Ramora system of the Outworlds Alliance.[3]

The Blizzard took heavy damage when a terrorist DropShip, the Sir Guthrie, detonated in a massive explosion which generated an internal firestorm, tearing the Blizzard apart.[3][4] The terrorists who destroyed the Swift Wing Naval Assault Star were either from or backed by the Word of Blake, but used Draconis Combine vessels and tactics when they destroyed the Snow Raven WarShips.[4]
