Years of confused fighting across Clan Space resulted. The previously interconnected enclaves on Clan worlds were forced to fend for themselves, resulting in widespread death and anarchy. Units from various Clans savagely assaulted their neighbors for scarce resources, while in many cases civilian caste members violated Clan law and actively fought against invading warriors. Bandits and Society members added to the devastation by raiding and slave-taking.

Members of [[Clan Burrock]] took advantage of the turmoil to attempt to resurrect their Clan, while those [[Invading Clans]] still possessing territory in Clan space were forced to withdraw or abandon their enclaves and personnel. [[Clan Hell's Horses]] successfully established itself among their ranks, as did [[Clan Snow Raven]] when it migrated to the [[Outworlds Alliance]]. By contrast, [[Clan Ice Hellion]]'s attempt to carve out their own Inner Sphere zone ended in failure and the near-destruction of [[Clan Ice Hellion Touman|their ''touman'']].

By [[3075]] order had been restored to the Clan Homeworlds and The Society's rebellion crushed, along with Clan Burrock and their [[Tanis|Tanite]] collaborators. Clan Ice Hellion's remnants had been voluntarily [[Rite of Absorption|Absorbed]] by [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]], while the ever-fractious [[Clan Fire Mandrill]] had simply disintegrated. The remaining Hell's Horses in the Homeworlds were Absorbed by [[Clan Star Adder]], then released as [[Clan Stone Lion]]. Finally, [[Clan Steel Viper]] itself was declared Tainted by the remaining [[Home Clans]] and [[Trial of Annihilation|Annihilated]], bringing the Wars of Reaving to an end.

The Ice Hellion Invasion was a complete disaster from the start. One factor that caused their downfall was their "alliance" (or lack thereof) with Clan Hell's Horses. Despite their talk of cooperation with the Horses, the Ice Hellions did anything but that. The Ice Hellions did not bother to share any type of battle plan or speak to the Horses for assistance whatsoever. It was also mentioned that the Ice Hellions angered their "partners" to such an extent, that the Horses decided to turn on them immediately with the Jade Falcons. Another factor that may have played into their failure was the over-extension of their ''touman''. Both the Khan and saKhan separated their entire ''touman'' into two different task forces. While the two task forces did a decent job in gaining territory for the Clan, they were facing overwhelming numbers and losing Clusters rapidly. By the end of the operation, the Ice Hellions were split in two. Also, the people of the Inner Sphere were something that the Clan did not take into account. They assumed that since the occupation zones had influenced the Inner Sphere, the civilian caste would be easy to integrate into their Clan, however that was not the case. They failed to recognize that the people would revolt against them, like the Steel Vipers before, and their attitude of making snap decisions also did not help matters.

The failed Ice Hellion invasion of [[Operation ICE STORM]] left the Clan scattered in 3072. One half of the Clan decided to launch pirate raids in the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]], while the other Ice Hellions decided to leave the Inner Sphere with what they had left. Upon meeting on Noveaux Paris, the remaining Clan council decided on what to do for the future of their Clan. The Hellion's fate would be sealed when Clan Goliath Scorpion came in contact with the broken Clan. The Scorpions stated that they were powerful enough to take them into their Clan without any fighting. With little options left, the remnants of Clan Ice Hellion chose to be absorbed into Clan Goliath Scorpion. [[Conner Rood]] would become the first saKhan of Clan Goliath Scorpion and later on, the [[Escorpión Imperio]].
