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/>
