	By April, the Vipers had successfully scourged Grant's Station of bandits. Clan Steel Viper then euthanized 300,000 Clan civilians too weak to recover, transferred the survivors to Firebase Zebra to restart OmniFighter construction, and began preparation to move on to [[Marshall]]. However, a viral outbreak started one week after the enclave was repopulated, and before the Steel Vipers lifted off world. In response, [[saKhan]] [[Boyle Grimani]] ordered all of the Steel Viper ground forces off-world, with all infected Warriors Reaved (ultimately, a single [[Trinary|trinary]] from the [[93rd Assault (Clan Steel Viper)|93rd Assault]] was lost). Additionally, all Steel Viper Scientist and Merchant Caste in the system were ordered to find a cure for the virus, or abandon the system.<ref name=Infest/>		By April, the Vipers had successfully scourged Grant's Station of bandits.

In return, the Wolves agreed to ease transfer of [[Clan Wolf]] Homeworlds to the Coyotes. The timeline for this transfer began to tighten in early 3071, after the [[nuclear attack]] on the Wolf [[Occupation Zone]] capital of [[Tamar]].<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 63, "The Torrent Begins"</ref> On 10 April, Clan Wolf deployed the [[1st Wolf Lancers (Clan Wolf)|First Wolf Lancers]] to help escort their genetic repositories off [[Strana Mechty]] and deliver them to [[Tranquil]], where a flotilla was forming to depart to the [[Inner Sphere]]. On 15 April, news of the operation prompted the Clan [[Grand Council]] to [[Trial of Abjuration|Abjure]] the Wolves. Ostensibly to enforce the Abjurement, Clan Coyote Trialed for and won the right to Abjure their allies, defeating units from [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] and [[Clan Steel Viper]] on the Plains of Kerensky on Strana Mechty.<ref name=WoRMM/> For the next few weeks, the Wolf exodus continued unmolested while Clan Coyote, under the command of [[saKhan]] [[Raven Clearwater]]<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 184-185, "Raven Clearwater"</ref>, took Possession immobile facilities. However, by the end of the first month, Clans [[Clan Blood Spirit|Blood Spirit]], Steel Viper, and [[Clan Cloud Cobra|Cloud Cobra]] grew impatient with the Abjurement, and voided the outcome of the Trials.<ref name=WoRMM/> Clan Steel Viper's [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Alpha Galaxy]] moved against Clan Wolf Possessions on Grant's Station, defended by Clan Wolf Warriors under the command of [[Star Colonel]] [[Derin Wolf|Derin]]. The Trials began with a large aerospace dogfight above the planet. Of the defending Wolf [[Trinary]], only three aerospace fighters returned, but not before destroying one Viper Dropship and sending a second out of control. Once the Viper forces had landed outside New Thebes, the Wolves relied on waves of battle armor infantry and combat vehicles to slow the Viper advance. The determined defense continued for three days, but disappeared on the third night in response to [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] landing [[Mu Galaxy (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|Mu Galaxy]] and encircling the city. The Scorpion landing diverted the attacks of the Steel Vipers, but the depleted Vipers were quickly forced to withdraw. With the Vipers routed, Star Colonel [[Allison Baba]] then offered the Wolf defenders single-combat duels for Possession of New Thebes. After killing Star Colonel Derin in single combat, Baba took Possession of New Thebes, and allowed all thirteen remaining Wolf Warriors to either become Goliath Scorpion bondsmen, or accept ''[[Hegira|hegira]]'' and regroup with the Clan Wolf flotilla massing at [[Tranquil]]. All thirteen Warriors accepted ''hegira''.<ref name=WoRMM/> When [[The Society]] mobilized at the beginning of 3072, Grant's Station was one of at least six systems in which the uprising successfully disrupted or disabled the [[Hyperpulse Generator]] Network in late January (the others being [[New Kent]], [[Vinton]], [[Arcadia]], [[Hoard]], and [[Tokasha]]).<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 91-94, "Death Rides Forth"</ref> Under cover of the communications disruption, all six Steel Viper enclaves on Grant's Station had been assaulted in 14 months, beginning in January 3072. Two of the enclaves had been lost, with the civilian population forced into slave labor, executed, or starved near to death. The remaining four enclaves had barely maintained their defense. The [[33rd Phalanx (Clan Steel Viper)|33rd Phalanx]], defending Firebase Zebra, had been reduced to a single [[Binary|binary]], and had lost the aerospace factory and much of the city.<ref name=Infest/> The Scorpion enclaves did not appear to be assaulted in the same manner as the Steel Viper enclave. Wide-spread destruction was not apparent in the Scorpion enclave, however, there were no signs of [[Warrior Caste|Warriors]], and all war materiel was missing. Much of the civilian castes from the Scorpion enclaves could not be found.<ref name=Infest/> In March, 3073, Clan Steel Viper assembled a relief task force composed of the ''[[Perigard Zalman (Individual Leviathan-class WarShip)|Perigard Zalman]]'', the ''[[Anaconda]]'', the ''[[Martial Legacy]]'', the ''[[Sanra Mercer (Individual Sovetskii Soyuz-class WarShip)|Sanra Mercer]]'', and all of [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Alpha]], [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Beta]], and [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Delta]] Galaxies. The task force had two missions, re-establish communications with enclaves isolated by HPG failure, and serve as a mobile command for Clan Steel Viper, since [[New Kent]] still suffered from HPG blackout. When the task force jumped into the Grant's Station system, they found the system was largely silent. However, their opening transmission was eventually returned by the Firebase Zebra garrison. Upon atmospheric descent, the task force was met by "swarms" of aerospace fighters and light craft, but lost only a single DropShip. After successfully landing, the task force relieved Firebase Zebra, then Annihilated any Dark Caste units they could find on the surface.<ref name=Infest/> By April, the Vipers had successfully scourged Grant's Station of bandits. Clan Steel Viper then euthanized 300,000 Clan civilians too weak to recover, transferred the survivors to Firebase Zebra to restart OmniFighter construction, and began preparation to move on to [[Marshall]]. However, a viral outbreak started one week after the enclave was repopulated, and before the Steel Vipers lifted off world. In response, [[saKhan]] [[Boyle Grimani]] ordered all of the Steel Viper ground forces off-world, with all infected Warriors Reaved (ultimately, a single [[Trinary|trinary]] from the [[93rd Assault (Clan Steel Viper)|93rd Assault]] was lost).
