As of [[3067]], it was stationed in the hidden city of Hope on [[Jardine]].
  
When Dr. [[Brooklyn Stevens]] and her team arrived at [[Jardine]] and approached the planet in their own K-1 DropShuttle (the ''[[Magellan (Individual K-1-class DropShuttle)|Magellan]]''), they were shot down and crashlanded, but managed to avoid capture by the [[Manei Domini]] team sent after them.

When Dr. [[Brooklyn Stevens]] and her team arrived at [[Jardine]] and approached the planet in a K-1 DropShuttle (the ''[[Magellan (Individual K-1-class DropShuttle)|Magellan]]''), it was shot down and crashlanded, but the explorers managed to avoid capture by the [[Manei Domini]] team sent after them.
  
 
Greatly alarmed that the secret existence of Jardine might be revealed, Precentor [[Apollyon]] took measures that included a plan by which the ''Stiletto-7'' would pretend to be the ''Magellan'' to (hopefully) meet the intruders' [[JumpShip]] and capture or destroy it. To this end, the ''Stiletto-7'' was equipped with transponder codes recovered from the wreckage of the ''Magellan''. Its crew included Precentor [[Damien Lucille]] and [[Lamashti]], the latter capable of perfectly imitating Dr. Stevens' voice over the radio. There was also a military [[DropShip]] (''[[Hera's Shield]]'') in false "pursuit" of the DropShuttle.<ref>''Escape from Jardine'', ch. 4-6</ref>

What Apollyon and Lucille didn't know was that there were actually two JumpShips with competing groups of explorers in the Jardine system. Captain [[Anton Hara]] of the DropShip ''[[Kaylin]]'' and his liaison [[Nathan Bellamy]] sought to double-cross and capture Stevens. They jumped to an intercept point with their JumpShip ''[[Broken Knee]]'' and detached the ''Kaylin''.

That the approaching K-1 was not the ''Magellan'' after all was only determined when the ''Stiletto-7'' was already very close to the ''Kaylin''. On 9 November 3067, the ''Stiletto-7'' deployed its battle-armored troopers and rammed the ''Kaylin'' at high speed, destroying the DropShuttle and implicitly heavily damaging or outright crippling the DropShip<ref name=EFJ9/> which was subsequently boarded and secured by the troops from the ''Stiletto-7'' (as was the ''Broken Knee'').
