In [[3070]] the organized resistance on Solaris VII attempted to smuggle two prototype ''[[Valiant]]'' [[BattleMech]]s off-planet, along with the majority of the [[Vining Engineering and Salvage Team]]'s personnel responsible for designing the ''Valiant''. The ''Comet's Tail'' was the DropShip responsible for transporting the illicit cargo offworld, and after a brief dogfight above Solaris the ''Comet's Tail'' managed to successfully rendezvous with the [[JumpShip]] ''[[Trifecta Yearning]]'' and jump out of the Solaris system.<ref name="MSUp149"/>

The Captain of the ''Trifecta Yearning'' betrayed the resistance, jumping to the [[Caph]] system within the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] before attempting to hand the 'Mechs and VEST personnel over to the Word of Blake. Fortuitously, a nearby monitoring DropShip belonging to the [[Draconis Combine]] was close enough to observe what had happened and interceded, destroying the ''Trifecta Yearning'' and rescuing the ''Comet's Tail''.<ref name="MSUp149"/>
