When [[Lyran Commonwealth]] forces attacked [[Marfik]] at the beginning of the [[Fourth Succession War]], the ''Arctic Fox'' was just awaiting a readiness check that however did not come to pass. It was not at the Sitika spaceport and was thus not captured by the Commonwealth troops. Once discovered, the armed vessel could easily be readied for flight. It was used to evacuate [[Theodore Kurita]] and his retinue from Marfik, approaching a Lyran courier [[JumpShip]] (the ''[[Kit Carson]]'') pretending to be a damaged Lyran vessel. The ''Kit Carson'' was captured upon docking, then commandeered to [[Vega]] where the ''Arctic Fox'' was initially mistaken for a Lyran DropShip and fired upon by the Draconis Combine defenders. When it did not shoot back it was allowed to land after all.<ref>''Heir to the Dragon'', pp. 126-141</ref>
 
 
Once its existence and location were discovered by the [[House Kurita]] defenders on Marfik, the armed vessel could easily be readied for flight. It was used to evacuate [[Theodore Kurita]] and his retinue from Marfik, approaching a Lyran courier [[JumpShip]] (the ''[[Kit Carson]]'') on 01 October [[3028]] pretending to be a damaged Lyran vessel. The ''Kit Carson'' was captured upon docking, then commandeered to [[Vega]] where the ''Arctic Fox'' was initially mistaken for a Lyran DropShip and fired upon by the Draconis Combine defenders.
