Having Animal Company take one side of the DropShip, her company on the other, she hoped to damage the DropShip enough to make it withdraw or possibly surrender.  Star Colonel Bjorn led the counterattack to defend the DropShip. Where she planned to do, luring them away from their DropShip, her two companies managed to destroy the defenders.  Verena fought Bjorn, with Bjorn crippling her ''[[Koshi (BattleMech)|Koshi]]''.  However, rest of the Badgers' fire finished off Bjorn, killing him.

A few days later she and Lt. Kennerly met General Bington and Baron [[Cutt Saville]] of [[La Blon]] who was chairman of [[Global Information Network]] (GIN).  The Baron and the General offered Verena a post as Colonel, in command of a new elite military unit he was forming named the [[La Blon Djinns]].  Verena and Kennerly's actions elevated them as heroes of the prefecture thanks to the Baron's Network, in comparing her to [[Victor Steiner-Davion]].  In part of forming the unit, Verena was given [[Alaric Wolf]]'s ''[[Mad Cat]]'' which he used in his invasion of [[Yed Posterior]].  General Bington explained that propaganda was being used to fight apathy and defeatism.  Promoting her as a hero, it would help unify the prefecture in middle of its crisis.  She had to cope with the hero worship and felt unworthy of it and attention.  Detached from the Badgers, she now begins to learn military interaction with politics.

She sent out her forces and meet them against his, at critical point in the battle she used the Screaming Eagle to pretend a withdrawal, drawing Alaric's force through the middle.  Alaric saw it as a trap but fought on.  His force punched through the Djinn forces.  Verena's forces appeared to be in trouble, only to find she was the sole survivor of her unit after being saved by the Stormhammers.  Another force arrived on the scene led by Alaric's battered ''Mad Cat''.  The two clashed, but her machine was too damaged to hold up the fight and she was defeated by him.

Verena Wolf was part of Galaxy Commander [[Alaric Wolf]]'s force, the [[Shadow Wolves]] of [[Beta Galaxy]], used to attack the world of [[Smolnik]] in the Lyran Commonwealth on 17 February [[3143]].  However, [[Anastasia Kerensky]] had set a trap.  Despite agreeing in her ''batchall'' with Alaric to limit the fighting to outside the city, Anastasia's [[Wolf Hunters]] fell back through the city hoping to ambush Alaric with infantry forces in the city buildings armed with Inferno SRMs.  When Anastasia gave the order to start the ambush, no answer came.  Alaric had deployed a nerve agent gas which had knocked out all the infantry.  Anastasia gave the order for a full retreat, and her forces were taking heavy losses.  Then, out of nowhere, [[Julian Davion]] and the First Davion Guards combat dropped into the battle, covering the [[Wolf Hunters]]' retreat.  As the [[Wolf Hunters]] retreated, Verena Wolf in her ''Jupiter'' stepped forward to attack Anastasia Kerensky's ''Savage Wolf''.  Verena taunted Anastasia about her impending defeat... Anastasia's answer was to power down her targeting computer... and then manually make an ER PPC and ATM shot to the ''Jupiter''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s cockpit, killing Verena instantly.  Alaric avenged Verena's death by defeating Anastasia, but instead of killing her, took Anastasia Kerensky as his bondsman.
