As at April [[3062]] the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser '''''Blade''''' was a [[WarShip]] within the [[Clan Nova Cat]] [[Clan Nova Cat Touman|''touman'']] and as such was serving the [[Second Star League]] as the SLS ''Blade'' within the [[Transcendent Naval Star (Clan Nova Cat)|Transcendent Naval Star]]. Also serving in the Transcendent Naval Star were two sister ships to the ''Blade'', the [[Path of Honor|SLS ''Path of Honor'']] and the [[Vision Quest|SLS ''Vision Quest'']].<ref name="FM:CSp110">''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 133, "Naval Assets"</ref>

The ''Blade'' was one of Nova Cat WarShips to survive a [[Trial of Possession]] conducted against [[Clan Ghost Bear]] for control of the ''[[Leviathan II|Leviathan]]''-class battleship [[Rasalhague (Individual Leviathan-class WarShip)|CGB ''Rasalhague'']] in May [[3067]], the Second Naval Battle of Alshain also known as [[Trial of Retribution]].<ref name="FM:Up96">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 96: "Nova Cat Retribution"</ref> It carried the [[DropShip]]s ''[[Sacred Trust]]'', ''[[Bright Star (Individual Broadsword-class DropShip)|Bright Star]]'', ''[[Crimson Claw]]'' and ''[[Prowler (Individual Union-C-class DropShip)|Prowler]]'' into this battle.<ref>''Trial of Retribution''</ref>

In [[3140]], the vessel would be used as part of the Republic's efforts to eliminate a renegade [[ComStar]] faction which had resurrected the [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[1st Division (ComStar)|1st Division]]. With leads found at [[Luyten 68-28]] indicating the ComStar base was on [[Epsilon Eridani]], the ''Auspicium'' was sent to investigate. At the system's nadir [[jump point]] they had a chance encounter with an arriving ComStar fleet, confirming the suspicions. The ''Auspicium''&#39;s two fighter squadrons of ''[[Schrack (Aerospace Fighter class)|Schrack]]'' [[OmniFighter]]s engaged the fleeing Com Guards. They destroyed the Guards' ''[[Achilles (DropShip class)|Achilles]]''-class assault DropShip ''[[Purity of Purpose (Individual Achilles-class DropShip)|Purity of Purpose]]'' in a high-speed pursuit, though only four fighters would ultimately survive the engagement.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', pp. 50–51, 133: "SCK-O Schrack" - Schrack fluff notes the Auspicium's actions during the ComStar conflict in the Republic</ref> The ''Auspicium'' neutralized the enemy [[JumpShip]]s to keep them from escaping, then used its functional [[HPG]] to alert the Republic.<ref>''Turning Points: Epsilon Eridani'', p. 7</ref>
