In [[3070]] the Cluster moved to [[Nouveaux Paris]] with the rest of Beta Galaxy, arriving in September.<ref name=WoR55-6>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 55–56</ref> Mid-[[3071]] saw Beta together with [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Zeta Galaxy]] form the secondary attack force under [[saKhan]] [[Connor Rood]]. This force moved against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] border worlds of the Falcon Occupation Zone, fighting in multiple systems.<ref name=WoR69>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 69</ref> In October [[3071]], with the Ice Hellion invasion - [[Operation ICE STORM]] - failing badly in the face of Jade Falcon counterattacks - [[Star Colonel]] [[Nikolai Wick]] won command of the Ninetieth, who were on [[Lackhove]] at the time, along with the [[200th Attack (Clan Ice Hellion)|Lithe Kill Keshik]], commanded by [[saKhan]] [[Connor Rood]]. The Ninetieth were traveling to meet with [[JumpShip]]s to travel out of the Lackhove system when the Jade Falcon saKhan, [[Samantha Clees]], brought the entire of [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Gamma Galaxy]] to the system to destroy the Ice Hellion forces there. The Ninetieth were ordered back to Lackhove by Rood, who led a desperate defense of the planet against the overwhelming Jade Falcon numbers. The Nineteenth were refused permission to join in the fight; instead, Rood relied on the Ninetieth to defend the hidden, grounded Ice Hellion [[DropShip]]s, in the hope that the Hellions could hold out long enough to rendezvous with their JumpShips, which were due to return at a pirate point twelve days after Clees' forces arrived.<ref name="OISP2p39">''Operation ICE STORM Part Two: Winds of Spring'', pp. 39–44</ref>

Rood's tactics were successful, although the Lithe Kill Keshik was reduced to less than a [[Trinary]]; Rood himself nearly fell prey to [[Elementals]] during the final move to the DropShips, after defeating numerous Jade Falcon warriors, but Wick led elements of the Ninetieth to escort Rood's remaining 'Mechs, and Wick personally destroyed the Elementals attacking Rood's ''[[Linebacker]]'' using his ''[[Stormcrow]]''; Wick had refused to load the Ninetieth into the DropShips before Rood's troops had made it to the evacuation zone.<ref name="OISP2p39"/>
