In [[3072]], the major clans in the Clan Homeworlds discovered that the bulk of the [[Clan Ice Hellion Touman|Clan Ice Hellion ''touman'']] was missing from the Homeworlds. [[Clan Cloud Cobra]], [[Clan Star Adder]] and Clan Steel Viper all promptly declared a [[Trial of Absorption]] over the Ice Hellions, and [[ilKhan]] [[Brett Andrews]] ruled that in light of the crisis in the Homeworlds at that point in time all three Clans would be allowed to pursue the Absorption. Forces from the Steel Viper [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Alpha Galaxy]] seized Ice Hellion enclaves on Atreus, [[Hoard]] and [[Foster]] in the last quarter of 3072, facing little opposition other than some genetic castoffs produced via experimentation by the [[Society]], piloting a mix of new designs of [[OmniMech]]s and [[ProtoMech]]s alongside equipment from caches; these castoffs were overwhelmed quickly, with their equipment captured and any surviving prisoners destroyed.<ref name="WoRp106">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 106–107: "The Viper Uncoils"</ref>

The conquest of Atreus was complete by November, but in December 3072 [[saKhan]] [[Nicole Hoskins]] of the Steel Vipers fell ill with a mysterious malady that appeared to be boiling her insides. After several days saKhan Hoskins died, only for her death to be followed by numerous reports of other Steel Viper warriors falling prey to the same malady. All of those affected were from the Hoskins, Mercer and Tamm genetic legacies, and research by the Steel Viper scientist caste swiftly determined that the cause was a blood virus which had been genetically tailored. The scientists managed to create an antidote, but nearly three [[Cluster]]s of Steel Viper warriors died of the virus, along with the better part of ninety thousand civilians with genetic ties to the three legacies by the time the viral outbreaks on Atreus, Foster, [[Londerholm]] and [[New Kent]] were over.<ref name="WoRp106"/>

As the Homeworlds continued to be engulfed in chaos, communications from Atreus stopped in early [[3073]].<ref name="WoRp117">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 117: "Infestation"</ref> The [[Bandit Caste]] leader known as ''[[Russou Howell|The Jaguar]]'' had arriving over Atreus with the ''[[Black Lion]]''-class battlecruiser ''[[Streaking Mist]]'' in early 3073. The ''Streaking Mist'' launched two [[DropShip]]s containing a raiding party led by the Jaguar and then proceeded to blockade the planet, destroying several merchant vessels in the following weeks. The Jaguar's forces began by landing near Firebase Gamma, a Clan Fire Mandrill holding, destroying the defending [[16th Assault (Clan Fire Mandrill)|Sixteenth Assault Cluster]] of [[Kindraa]] [[Kindraa Faraday-Tanaga (Clan Fire Mandrill)|Faraday-Tanaga]].<ref name="WORp138">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 138: "Death of a Kindraa"</ref>
