After agents of [[Clan Widowmaker]] stole a nuclear device from [[Clan Wolverine]] stockpiles and detonated it in the middle of Great Hope, the largest Wolverine city on [[Circe]], the [[Clan Snow Raven]] ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz]]''-class heavy cruiser CSR ''Avalanche'' in orbit around Circe and over the city of Dehra Dun was given authorization by Nicholas Kerensky to use nuclear weapons against the largest concentration of Wolverine forces on the planet on the 22nd of October [[2823]]. As a pair of nuclear-armed ships, designated Angel One and Angel Two, were launched from the ''Avalanche'' with an escorting [[aerospace fighter]] contingent, the [[Bismark|SLS ''Bismark'']] emerged from a nearby pirate point and moved to engage. Quickly identified as being under the control of the Wolverines, while the ''Bismark'' did exchange fire with the ''Avalanche'', the primary objectives of the ''Bismark'' were the destruction of Angels One and Two; the ''Bismark'' succeeded in destroying both ships, but not before one of the nuclear weapons was launched. The nuclear weapon detonated off-target, airbursting above the Snow Raven capital city of Dehra Dun. With the ''Avalanche'' taking increasing amounts of damage from the ''Bismark'', the Snow Raven WarShip withdrew from combat.<ref name="BOI3-56">''Betrayal of Ideals'', part 3, pp. 56–61</ref>

The ''Avalanche'' was involved in the combat in the [[Deep Periphery]] system known as [[Barbados]] that saw [[ilKhan]] [[Nicholas Kerensky|Kerensky]]'s Grand Fleet destroy the bulk of the [[Clan Wolverine Touman|Clan Wolverine ''touman'']] and kill or capture the majority of the Wolverine civilian castes. Initially kept out of the battle in accordance with the Clan honor system, the ''Avalanche'' became directly involved in the fight when the crippled ''[[Vincent]]''-class corvette [[Badger (Individual Vincent-class WarShip)|SLS ''Badger'']] deliberately blew her own engines up while in close proximity to the ''Avalanche'', with debris from the explosion inflicting heavy damage on the Snow Raven heavy cruiser.<ref name="BOI4-37+">''Betrayal of Ideals'', part 4, pp. 37–40</ref>
