In September 3071 the ''[[Fredasa (WarShip class)|Fredasa]]''-class corvette [[Swift Bait|CIH ''Swift Bait'']] and the other vessels of the Ice Hellion [[Delta Naval Star (Clan Ice Hellion)|Delta Naval Star]] were deployed in support of [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Delta Galaxy]] in the attempt to capture Steelton. Delta Galaxy had been led to believe that Steelton was a Jade Falcon holding, but when the Ice Hellion forces arrived in-system they discovered that the planet had actually been occupied by [[Clan Hell's Horses]].<ref name="WoRp69+"/>

Despite knowing that attacking Steelton would break the truce between the two Clans, [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Damon Hawkins]] declared a ''[[batchall]]'' anyway; his reasoning was that capturing a world rich in resources would outweigh any loss of honor he suffered for breaking the truce. The Delta Naval Star met stiff resistance on their approach from Hell's Horses [[aerospace fighter]]s and [[DropShip]]s, and as the Ice Hellion WarShips were battling their way through the Hell's Horses defenses, the ''Black Knight'' surprised the Hellions by emerging from a nearby pirate point.<ref name="WoRp69+"/>

The various Delta Galaxy DropShips managed to make landfall on Steelton before the ''Black Horse'' could reach firing range, but the ''Black Horse'' quickly engaged the Delta Naval Star, inflicting heavy damage on the ''Swift Bait'' as the Hellion WarShips tried to break orbit.<ref name="WoRp69+"/>
