On April 15, the Grand Council decided to Abjure Clan Wolf from the Clan Homeworlds. Khan [[Vlad Ward]] would mock ilKhan Andrews and his decrees in front of the other clan. Angered by the disrespect shown by Vlad, he decided to annihilate Clan Wolf, but the Council (with the help of the Invading Clans and the Coyotes) chose to abjure Clan Wolf instead.<ref name="WoR_66">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 66</ref>.During the bombardment of the Blood Chapels in 3071, Clan Wolf would seize the Kerensky Blood Chapel and challenge all clan warriors to "Snatch the Legacy of Kerensky from the Wolf's jaws to prove themselves worthy of it." It was a brutal battle between all of the Clans, and the [[Ebon Keshik]]. Little did the other Clans know, Clan Wolf's secret goal was to send a force ([[Ramil Kerensky|under a Kerensky]]) to collect the genetic material of the Kerensky bloodname. When the battle was over, Clan Wolf detonated the Kerensky Blood Chapel with their scientists committing suicide and one of their warriors stating, "Kerensky's legacy does not deserve to be spoiled, by his ungrateful children." before dying. That Wolf operation turned Katyusha City into a battlefield, with mobs of several Clans attacking each other and even orbital attacks, causing thousands of civilian deaths.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 78-79</ref> <ref> ''Icons of War'' p.31-33</ref> +2. Goad all Clans into attacking the Kerensky Blood Chapel to make them think that the Kerensky legacies had been destroyed. -* [[Operation SPATHA]]: launched prior to GLADIUS, had to different objectives: after infiltrate a Clan Wolf [[Elemental]] unit in [[Katyusha City]], posing as simple workers, to preparate KOPIS. The second, which had to be launched at the same time as KOPIS, was to board the [[Warship]] ''[[McKenna's Pride]]'' and stole the ''Great Father'''s body, [[Aleksandr Kerensky]]. Khan Ward's official explanation was to remove the last Kerensky genetic legacy of the Homewords, but probably also to take it as symbol. The first part of the operation, the unit's infiltration and information gathering, went perfectly, thanks to the assistance of [[Dark Caste]] members. But the second one began falling apart before its beginning: During KOPIS, the fight along the city delay their progress to their dropship, and it was destroyed by a fighter attack much before they reach her. The survivors were forced to abort the operation, regroup and began planning a new operation: ''SPATHA II''.<ref> ''Icons of War'' p.33 </ref> - -* [[Operation SPATHA II]]: Prepared by SPATHA I survivors, along with massive help of their Dark Caste allies, the secret Wolf team gathered resources and information for years. The Great Council use of the ''McKenna's Pride'' as flagship for the annihilation of [[Clan Steel Viper]] delayed it even more, but in [[3076]], after the ''Pride'' returned to Strana Mechty, they launched it. After taking the ''[[McKenna's Honor]]'', the supply DropShip of the ''Pride'', they boarded the ship. Thanks to the surprise effect, managed to take the key of the WarShip, and force the remaining crew to abandon it. However, their original plan to steal Aleksandr's coffin and escape was compromised when they were discovered, and Garmen was forced to draw a new plan: to escape ''with'' the ''Pride''. After a daring pursuit and several attacks of aerospace fighters, DropShips and WarShips, they managed to escape of the system, with the Pride damaged, and the McKenna's Honor's lost.<ref> ''Icons of War'' p.177 </ref> - -* [[Operation PILUM]]: added in the first stages of SPATHA II, it consisted in the launching of a suicide attack of an OmniMech Trinary, the [[Retribution Wraiths]], who attacked Katuysha City's SCC, HPG station and Katyusha Keshik and Ebon Keshik's headquarters. They have the support of Dark Caste scouts, who launched ''Operation ARCHER'', a sabotage side operation, destroying or damaging the three biggests bridges over Andery River, delaying the defenders counterattack. -The Wraiths succeeded in their mission, destroying both targets and the Katyusha Keshik's defenders Trinary.
