In February [[3079]] the ''Kustarachnae'' was stationed in either the [[Kyrkbacken]] or the [[Suzano]] system and was serving in the navy of the [[Duchy of Oriente]] black water navy as the ODS ''Kustarachnae'' when the Word of Blake struck at the nearby [[Ohrensen]] system with a task force, destroying the ''[[Essex]]''-class destroyer [[Schrack (Individual Essex-class WarShip)|ODS ''Schrack'']] with nuclear weapons in the process.

The Blakist forces located in the Ohrensen system proved too strong for the ''Kustarachnae'' and the ''Acari'' to defeat; the ''Kustarachnae'' was apparently lost while trying to protect the ''Acari'' and the recently-arrived Fusiliers, while the ''Acari'' was evidently badly damaged and captured by ''[[Manei Domini]]'' forces.<ref name="J:FRp19">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 19, "Blakist Raids Savage Duchy Of Oriente"</ref> The ''Acari'' was then used as a Trojan Horse in the Blakist attack on [[Oriente]] in March 3079, inflicting critical damage to the ''[[Thera]]''-class [[Santorini|FWLS ''Santorini'']] before being destroyed by [[Duchy of Oriente]] forces.<ref name="J:FRp19"/><ref name="J:FRp18+">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 18-19, "Shadows Over Oriente"</ref><ref name="J:FRp60">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 69, "The Jihad In Review"</ref>
