When the Ice Hellions launched their invasion of the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] Occupation Zone in the [[Inner Sphere]] in mid-[[3071]] the ''Coterie'' was among the WarShips deployed. One of the first actions conducted by all thirteen Ice Hellion WarShips including the ''Coterie'' was to secure the [[Dark Nebula]], destroying the small Jade Falcon naval force there and securing the largely-abandoned facility.<ref name="WoRp69+">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 69–71: "The Hellion Strikes"</ref> By March [[3072]] the tempo demanded by [[Khan]] Montose in continuing to launch attacks rather than consolidating existing gains had seen a resurgent Clan Jade Falcon push the Ice Hellions back on several fronts, assisted by [[Clan Hell's Horses]], with whom the Hellions had originally maintained a truce, and the Ice Hellions had been pushed back into three areas - the worlds of [[Evciler]] and [[Vantaa]], and the region known as the [[Dark Nebula]].<ref name="WoRp85">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 85: "Icy Fire"</ref> At this point, Ice Hellion saKhan [[Connor Rood]] ordered his trusted DropShip captain Ephraim Cage to assume command of the ''Coterie'' over Star Admiral Venice Harbin, by trial and by killing her if required. Under Cage's command the ''Coterie'' attempted to join the survivors of [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Beta Galaxy]], who had gathered with [[saKhan]] [[Connor Rood]] in the Dark Nebula. Gathering to oppose the two remaining [[Cluster]]s of Beta Galaxy were the Jade Falcon's [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Delta Galaxy]] and several [[Star]]s of [[aerospace fighter]]s and assault [[DropShip]]s; the Hellion defenses consisted of just the ''[[Fredasa (WarShip class)|Fredasa]]''-class corvette [[Whelp|CIH ''Whelp'']], the sorely damaged ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer [[Cold Hunter (Individual Lola III-class WarShip)|CIH ''Cold Hunter'']], and a small number of fighter stars. While the Falcons had no WarShips, the arrival of [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Troy DelVillar]] of the Hell's Horses along with Horses' [[Theta Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Theta Galaxy]] gave the Falcons command of a substantial force.<ref name="WoRp85"/> The Hellion forces commanded by [[saKhan]] [[Connor Rood]] had gathered at the derelict Dark Nebula way station, and it was this the Jade Falcons targeted. The ''Coterie'' arrived at the nadir jump point shortly after the allied Falcon and Horses launched their assault, leaving it too far away to assist.<ref name="WoRp85"/> As the combined Falcon and Horses forces landed on the asteroid housing the way station saKhan Clees of the Jade Falcons contacted Rood and offered him and his forces ''[[hegira]]'', both from the Dark Nebula and from the entire Jade Falcon occupation zone. Rood accepted the offer, agreeing to leave Beta Galaxy's war matériel as ''[[isorla]]'' for the victors, and used the ''Coterie'' to transport his remaining forces to the [[Periphery]] where he planned to await the gathering of any surviving Ice Hellion forces.<ref name="WoRp85"/> In April, the ''Coterie'' and the survivors of Beta Galaxy being shepherded by the ''Coterie'' found itself the target of an attack by [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Burrock)|Zeta Galaxy]] of the resurgent [[Clan Burrock]]. Gathered at DS-822, a way station star on the trade route between the [[Clan Homeworlds]] and the Inner Sphere maintained by [[Clan Diamond Shark]], the small Ice Hellion fleet had Zeta Galaxy arrive unannounced and nearby. The [[HPG]] transmitter on the ''Coterie'' had been destroyed, leaving the Ice Hellions unaware of the ongoing situation in the Homeworlds; as a result, the fleet was completely unprepared when the Burrocks launched a ferocious attack. Two of the five [[JumpShip]]s within the fleet, the [[Glacial Calm|CIH ''Glacial Calm'']] and the [[Snowbird|CIH ''Snowbird'']], managed to escape, eventually reaching [[Hector (system)|Hector]] some months later; the other three ships were lost or destroyed. The ''Coterie'' also managed to escape but at the cost of a damage KF-drive, arriving at a system unmarked on the various Clan star charts.<ref name="WoRp98+">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 98–99: "Dark Periphery"</ref> The ''Coterie'' and those aboard - including [[Khan]] Rood, elevated in rank after the death of Khan [[Raina Montose]] - would most likely have died following the misjump if not for the mysterious arrival of another ''Potemkin''-class WarShip in the system in July. Appearing at the zenith point, the newly-arrived ship was identified as the former [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] WarShip [[Osis' Pride|CSJ ''Osis' Pride'']], but refused to answer any hailing calls.<ref name="WoRp98+"/> Khan Rood took a small craft across to the ''Osis' Pride'', and while the chain of events aboard the ''Osis' Pride'' are undocumented, he reached an accommodation with the surviving crew aboard the ship.
