As of [[3061]] the ''[[Carrack]]''-class transport '''''Collerane''''' was a [[WarShip]] within the [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] [[Clan Goliath Scorpion Touman|''touman'']]. The ''Collerane'' was serving in the five-ship naval [[star]] known as the [[Wild Hunt Battlegroup (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|Wild Hunt Battlegroup]] as commercial support to [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|Gamma Galaxy]].<ref name="FM:WCp108">''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 108, "Naval Assets"</ref>

During the [[Wars of Reaving]] the ''Collerane'' was directly involved in defending at least one Goliath Scorpion holding as the Clan came under pressure from other Clans. In March [[3072]] the Scorpions received word that their enclaves on the world of [[Foster]] were under siege from [[Clan Coyote]] forces. The ''collerane'' and the Goliath Scorpion flagship, the  ''[[McKenna (WarShip class)|McKenna]]''-class battleship [[Lei Kung|CGS ''Lei Kung'']] transported [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|Gamma Galaxy]] to the system and took up position in orbit above the planet as the Gamma Galaxy [[DropShip]]s deployed in defense of the last surviving holding on the planet, Pillar Prime.<ref name="WORp124">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 124, "Scorpion Gambit"</ref>

The battle on the ground didn't go well for the Scorpions, and as Gamma Galaxy was being defeated piecemeal both WarShips found themselves coming under fire from the small [[SDS]] present in the system. The SDS had been under the control of [[Clan Fire Mandrill]], but had been seized by the Coyotes who targeted both Scorpion vessels. The ''Collerane'' was quickly disabled by anti-ship missiles which struck the starboard magazine and caused the ship to lose power; the heavier ''Lei Kung'' was able to shrug off the initial strikes and begin destroying the SDS piece by piece. The Coyotes responded by launching waves of [[aerospace fighter]]s from the surface, which pressed multiple attacks against the ''Lei Kung''; even as the ''Lei Kung'' managed to destroy around three-quarters of the SDS, a daring strike by Coyote fighters against the aft of the ''Lei Kung'' scored a critical hit against the ship's targeting systems. With half her escort DropShips destroyed or disable, the ''Lei Kung'' was unable to do anything to assist in the recovery of the ground forces. When the last of the forces to escape from Foster docked, the ''Lei Kung'' rereated from the system.<ref name="WORp124"/>
