As of [[3145]], the '''''Skate ArcShip''''' was part of the [[Skate Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Skate Khanate]] in the [[Clan Sea Fox Touman|Clan Sea Fox ''touman'']].<ref name=FR:3145p169>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 169: "Clan Force Deployments - Clan Diamond Shark - Skate Khanate"</ref>

In or around [[3090]], the Raven Alliance found its need for a dedicated transport fleet of WarShips lessening, and Diamond Shark [[Khan]] Nagasawa saw an opportunity for a beneficial trade. In [[3091]] he proposed to [[Clan Snow Raven]] that four Diamond Shark WarShips be exchanged for four Snow Raven WarShips. This proved a contentious proposal for the warriors of the [[Clan Snow Raven Touman|Snow Raven ''touman'']], but ultimately the trade was agreed. The Diamond Sharks transferred four WarShips to the Snow Ravens—the ''[[Nightlord]]''-class battleship ''[[Terror of the Deep]]'', the ''Essex''-class destroyers ''[[Tracy]]'' and ''[[Architeuthis]]'', and the ''[[Fredasa (WarShip class)|Fredasa]]''-class corvette ''[[Kutkh|Swift Strike]]''—and in exchange received three ''[[Potemkin]]''-class cruisers, the ''[[Epimetheus (Individual Potemkin-class WarShip)|Epimetheus]]'', ''[[Treachery]]'', and ''[[Wild Swan]]'', and the ''[[Volga]]''-class transport ''[[Scavenger (Individual Volga-class WarShip)|Scavenger]]''.<ref name="ER:3145p74">''Era Report: 3145'', pp. 74–76: "Alliance Naval Star"</ref><ref name="FM:3145p166">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 166: "The Alliance Fleet"</ref><ref name="FR:Cp18">''Field Report: Clans'', pp. 18–19: "Fleet Assets"</ref>

The Diamond Sharks evidently renamed the four ships, although it is unclear exactly what the four ships were renamed to. Three ''Potemkins'' were active amongst the various Khanates of Clan Sea Fox in the [[Dark Age]] with names previously unseen in canon, suggesting that the ''Epimetheus'', ''Treachery'', and ''Wild Swan'' correspond to these three ships, but this has yet to be confirmed. The three newly-detailed ''Potemkins'' were the ''Atlantean'', the [[ArcShip]] of the [[Skate Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Skate Khanate]], the ''[[Abyssal]]'', home to the Skate Khanate's [[Beta Aimag (Skate Khanate)|Beta Aimag]], and the ''[[Voidswimmer]]'', home to the [[Delta Aimag (Spina Khanate)|Delta Aimag]] of the [[Spina Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Spina Khanate]].<ref name="FM:3145p169">''Field Manual: 3145'', pp. 169–170: "Clan Sea Fox"</ref>
