History
As at 3061 the Aegis-class heavy cruiser Scabbard was a WarShip within the Clan Snow Raven touman and was serving as the CSR Scabbard, one of ten WarShips that made up the Lum Garrison Fleet. Paired with the Lola III-class destroyer CSR Bloody Talon, the Scabbard was responsible for patroling the shipping lanes stretching out from Lum to the nadir jump point and the Hofburg station located there.[1]
One of the Snow Raven ships known to have been lost during the Jihad, the Scabbard was one of the ships of the Ice Storm Naval Star committed to support forces from the Ghost Bear Dominion; the Ice Storm Naval Star lost four WarShips during the course of the conflict, the Aegis-class heavy cruisers CSR Blue Quest and Scabbard, the York-class destroyer CSR Corvidae and the Vincent-class corvette CSR Huninn.[2]
The combined Clan Ghost Bear and Snow Raven task force which had agreed to support the allied coalition struck at a number of Blakist worlds on the 21st of July 3076; Dyev was one of the worlds targeted by the Clan forces, along with the nearby worlds of Kervil, Ko, Lambrecht, Moore and Sabik.[3][4] What distinguishes Dyev is that in mid-December 3076 the Word of Blake launched a counter-offensive to try and recapture the planet, with the Blakist ground troops receiving support from a number of WarShips and Pocket WarShips.[4][5]]].[6] The resulting battles saw three Blakist WarShips destroyed, the Whirlwind-class destroyer Fire Fang, the Aegis-class WoBS Righteous Fury and the Congress-class frigate WoBS Hollings York.[7] However, the Blakist vessels took on three Ghost Bear WarShips - an Aegis, a Leviathan and a Nightlord - and destroyed the Ghost Bear Aegis, despite the presence of the Leviathan.[8]
With no Aegis-class heavy cruisers in service with the Ghost Bear touman at the time[9] it is likely, but not certain, that the Aegis-class heavy cruiser lost in the battle was the Scabbard as the other Aegis-class heavy cruiser lost from the Snow Raven touman during the Jihad, the Blue Quest, was destroyed along with the Corvidae during the battle to secure the Titan Yards in 3078.[10]
