The ''Stooping Kite'' responded in a most deadly fashion to the ''Alshain Sunset's'' refusal to follow the Blood Spirit orders by firing a broadside that tore the ''Alshain Sunset'' and her [[DropShip]]s apart. As a result, thousands of civilians who had been packed aboard the various DropShips died.<ref name="WORp82"/> The reaction from the Ghost Bears was both immediate and violent; every spaceworthy ship was launched at the ''Rocinante'', and within seconds the Blood Spirit flagship had been torn apart. Khan Schmitt barely survived, albeit with crippling injuries including a broken back; the Ghost Bear vessels then moved to the jump point and left the [[Clan Homeworlds]] permanently, ending the Ghost Bear presence in the Homeworlds completely.<ref name="WORp82"/> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Field Manual: Crusader Clans]]'' * ''[[The Wars of Reaving]]'' [[Category: Individual WarShips]] [[Category: Individual Battlecruisers]] [[Category: Individual Black Lion-class WarShips]]
