==History==
===Clan Era===
As of [[3059]], the ''[[Vincent (WarShip class)|Vincent Mk. 42]]''-class corvette '''''Relentless Pursuit''''' was serving as the CWS ''Relentless Pursuit'' within the [[Clan Wolf]] [[Clan Wolf Touman|''touman'']] alongside a sister ship of the same class, the [[Trailblazer (Individual Vincent-class WarShip)|CWS ''Trailblazer'']], and was acting either as an escort vessel between the worlds of the Clan Wolf Occupation Zone and the [[Clan Homeworlds]] or as a patrol vessel within the Homeworlds.<ref name="FM:CCp139">''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 139: "Naval Assets"</ref> 

===Wars of Reaving===
The ''Relentless Pursuit'' remained an active part of the Wolf ''touman'' for the next decade<ref name="FM:Up52">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 52: "Naval Assets"</ref> but following the nuclear scouring of the Wolf capital world of [[Tamar]] in late [[3070]] by the [[Word of Blake]] the ''Relentless Pursuit'' was part of a trade between the Wolves and [[Clan Coyote]].<ref name="WORp60">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 60–61: "The Wolf's Preparations"</ref>

The Blakist attack caused the loss of the genetic repository that formed the basis of the entire Clan Wolf eugenics program; determined to prevent this loss coming to light - and the resulting feeding frenzy amongst the other [[Clans]] it would doubtless provoke - [[Khan]] [[Vlad Ward]] initiated two major trades with the Coyotes; the first saw the Wolves gain the entire of the Coyote [[Omicron Galaxy (Clan Coyote)|Omicron Galaxy]] and five [[Star]]s of merchant transport vessels to allow the Wolves to evacuate a large part of their remaining Warrior and Technician Castes from the Homeworlds, in exchange for all of the remaining Wolf enclaves in the Homeworlds. The second trade saw the Wolves trade five Stars of AeroSpace assets, the ''Relentless Pursuit'' and the ''[[Volga]]''-class transport [[Provider|CWS ''Provider'']] to the Coyotes in exchange for ten Coyote [[sibko]]s populated with those of minor [[Bloodname]]s or shared Bloodnames with the Wolves.<ref name="WORp60"/>

====Huntress====
In June [[3072]], the ''Relentless Pursuit'' - now serving as the CCS ''Relentless Pursuit'' - was involved in the conflict over various enclaves on the former [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] world of [[Huntress]]. Both [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] and [[Clan Cloud Cobra]] were working together with the agreement of their respective [[Khan]]s to [[Trial of Reaving|Reave]] a number of Smoke Jaguar genetic legacies stored in Mount Szabo, the majority of which had remained unused since the [[Trial of Annihilation|Annihilation]] of the Smoke Jaguars.<ref name="WORp100+">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 100–101: "Fall of Szabo"</ref>

The combined Cloud Cobra and Scorpion forces took the Mount Szabo facility easily, despite resistance from a small [[Dark Caste]] force nearby - something that would be identified in future years to be a result of Mount Szabo having become a [[Society]] facility during the years in which the Clans believed the site to be unused. The two forces took only enough ''[[isorla]]'' to repair the damage taken during the brief battle, confirmed the presence of the various legacies, and then withdrew so that the facility could be destroyed by orbital bombardment on the 30th of June.<ref name="WORp100+"/>

The advanced machines used by the Dark Caste forces convinced the Cobras and Scorpions to investigate Huntress further, looking for more evidence of such advanced technology; as they were working through various abandoned Smoke Jaguar enclaves a force from Clan Coyote appeared near Huntress via a [[pirate point]] and quickly dropped ground forces onto the planet, seizing a number of resource complexes and the ''[[Warhawk]]'' factory on Abysmal from the Scorpions. The Coyotes quickly stripped the captured facilities before the Scorpions could react, leaving pursuing Scorpion forces to engage the Coyote rearguard as they were leaving the planet.<ref name="WORp100+"/>

The Coyote [[DropShips]] were engaged by the ''[[Essex]]''-class destroyer [[Orpheus|CGS ''Orpheus'']] and the ''[[Volga]]''-class transport [[Andromeda (Individual Volga-class WarShip)|CGS ''Andromeda'']], which [[Star Admiral]] [[Patel Suvorov]] had the foresight to have placed in position in advance of the Coyote's retreat. The two Scorpion WarShips caught and destroyed half of the DropShips, only to be attacked in turn by the ''Relentless Pursuit''. The WarShip quickly destroyed the ''Andromeda'', while a combination of Coyote [[aerospace fighter]]s and previously unseen assault [[ProtoMech]]s with wings held the ''Orpheus'' off. With the ''Andromeda'' destroyed, the Coyotes then used repeated strikes to hammer at the ''Orpheus'' until it broke up against the atmosphere of Huntress.<ref name="WORp100+"/>

====Kirin====
When [[Clan Steel Viper]] launched a massive attack on [[Tamaron]] in December [[3074]], the ''Relentless Pursuit'' was stationed alongside the ''[[Liberator (WarShip class)|Liberator]]''-class cruiser [[Spirit in the Sky|CCS ''Spirit in the Sky'']] in the [[Kirin]] system, and so escaped destruction at the hands of the naval forces led by the ''[[Leviathan Prime]]''-class [[Perigard Zalman (Individual Leviathan-class WarShip)|CSV ''Perigard Zalman'']] and was subsequently joined by the two Coyote naval vessels that managed to escape from Tamaron.<ref name="WoRp142+">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 142–143: "Viper's Venom"</ref>

The ''Relentless Pursuit'' was one of only three WarShips left in the [[Clan Coyote Touman|Coyote ''touman'']] by [[3085]], at which point it was undergoing repairs at the Kirin shipyard.<ref name="WoRp142+"/>
