Omega Galaxy and the 83rd Fang were defending [[New Kent]] in [[3075]] when a combined Clan force attacked in December. After an epic naval battle that saw over 500 Viper fighters engage and destroyed the last of the Viper capital ships the Clans landed. Over a quarter of the transport DropShips had been destroyed in space and the ground batteries took a further toll. The Blood Spirit's land first followed by the Stone Lions, silencing the batteries and allowing the rest of the assault force to land. After a week of fighting the Vipers including Omega Galaxy were surrounded. The final assault eventually came after a lull in fighting, but the Vipers turn the shattered street of New Kent City into a fortress and could not be dislodged. As the casualties mounted the new ilKhan recalled his forces and obliterated the city and all surviving Steel Vipers with an orbital bombardment.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 149–150</ref>
