A former [[Star League Defense Force]] [[WarShip]], like many pieces of military hardware of the collapsed [[Star League]], the future ''Starlight'' fell into [[ComStar]] hands in the wake of the [[Operation Exodus]]. Restored to function and entering active service sometime prior to [[3058]], ''Starlight'' was selected as part of ComStar's contribution to Task Force Serpent, one of the four WarShips the [[ComStar Schism|secular Order]] contributed to the [[Inner Sphere]] strike against the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]]'s capital of [[Huntress]].<ref name=TotC-8>''Death of a Clan - Task Force Serpent Composition"</ref>

The ''Starlight'' suffered heavy damage during the so-called Battle of Trafalgar against [[Clan Ghost Bear]] forces in the [[Deep Periphery]], most of which could be repaired in the field, allowing it to continue on to Huntress. The ''Starlight'' would meet its end attempting to prevent the WarShips of Clan Smoke Jaguar fleeing [[Operation Bulldog]] from reaching Huntress. Suffering damage that left it crippled and unable to change its course, the ComStar vessel slammed into a Smoke Jaguar ''[[Vincent (WarShip class)|Vincent]]''. Both vessels entangled with each other, and moments later the ''Vincent'''s magazines went up, destroying both ships in a tremendous explosion. <ref name=TotC-10>''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 12: "Death of a Clan - Beyond the Periphery"</ref> <ref name=TotC-12>''Twilight of the Clans'', p. 12: "Death of a Clan - The Conquest Continues"</ref>
