As she promised Khan Mercer's isolationist policy was not meant to completely cut them off from the rest of the Clans: Steel Viper warriors were encouraged to test themselves by launching attacks against the other Clans. The Steel Vipers made up lost ground by finally acquiring OmniMech designs through these efforts, as well as the technology behind [[battle armor]] and new genetic material. Bowing to the wishes of her merchant caste, Khan Mercer even authorized the founding of several new colonies, despite fears such distant settlements might stray from the "true vision."<ref name=FMWC135/><ref name=IC85>''Invading Clans'', p. 85</ref> As she promised Khan Mercer's isolationist policy was not meant to completely cut them off from the rest of the Clans: Steel Viper warriors were encouraged to test themselves by launching attacks against the other Clans.

− This policy helped Clan Steel Viper earn the enmity of [[Clan Snow Raven]] during the conflict over ownership of [[Hellgate]] between [[2897]] and [[2899]]. An inhospitable world, Hellgate was rich in [[w:Germanium|germanium]] and ideally situated as a trading hub. The Snow Ravens put much effort into colonizing Hellgate, including the construction of agro-domes to feed the planet's population. Rather than attempt to conquer the whole planet Clan Steel Viper instead fought a series of Trials for control of the agro-domes and in the end won. Denied the ability to produce food locally and unable to import sufficient supplies, Clan Snow Raven was forced to cede control of the planet to the Steel Vipers.<ref name=FMWC136>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 136</ref><ref>''Era Digest: Golden Century'', p. 10</ref> + This policy helped Clan Steel Viper earn the enmity of [[Clan Snow Raven]] during the conflict over ownership of [[Hellgate]] between [[2897]] and [[2899]].

It was also during this time the Steel Vipers became enemies of [[Clan Jade Falcon]], although not on purpose. In the Grand Council the Steel Vipers frequently voted against policies put forth by the Jade Falcons; this opposition was not for personal reasons but as a matter of principle. Clan Jade Falcon saw it differently however and in [[2906]] decided to retaliate by launching an assault on the Steel Vipers' capital on [[New Kent]]. After 24 hours of hard fighting the Steel Vipers emerged victorious, but not without a heavy cost: Khan Mercer died in the final battle when a volley of missiles destroyed her ''Highlander''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s cockpit. Sanra Mercer's legacy would not end with her life however, and for the next few decades succeeding Khans would uphold the "true vision" and continue her isolationist policies.<ref name=IC85/><ref name=FMWC136/> It was also during this time the Steel Vipers became enemies of [[Clan Jade Falcon]], although not on purpose.
