The '''Ninth Fang''' had taken up position on the planet [[Waldorff]] by [[3054]].<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 30</ref> It was badly damaged when the [[7th Talon (Clan Jade Falcon)|Seventh Talon]] [[Cluster]] of [[Clan Jade Falcon]] raided the planet in June [[3057]], and was still recovering in December 3060.<ref name=FMWC149>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 149, "9th Fang Profile"</ref>

Badly damaged when the [[7th Talon (Clan Jade Falcon)|Seventh Talon]] [[Cluster]] of [[Clan Jade Falcon]] raided [[Waldorff]] in June [[3057]], and still recovering as of 3061.<ref name=FMWC149>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 149, "9th Fang Profile"</ref> In 3065 The Vipers took heavy losses fighting [[Clan Snow Raven]], the Cluster does not appear on the Steel Viper roster after this date and was presumed destroyed. <ref name=fmu66> ''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 66 </ref>
 
 
Sometime during their time on Waldorff, a company of [[Twenty-third Arcturan Guards]] launched a harassment raid on Waldorff.  While the raiders were ranging away from their transport, a lone Ninth Fang ''[[Devil]]'' piloted by MechWarrior [[Fargo]] encountered the Guards' [[Union|''Union''-class]] [[DropShip]] on a long range patrol.  After dispatching the two light [[tank]] sentries he destroyed one of the landing struts, causing the Dropship to crash before it could take off to safety.  When the Guards company returned they immediately surrendered to the [[Trinary]] of [[OmniMech]]s waiting for them. For this Fargo was one of the few MechWarriors to be credited with a solo DropShip kill.<ref name=RG8p6>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 8'', p. 6: "Devil"</ref>
 
 
 
The Ninth was not on the Steel Viper roster in 3067. Its final fate is not known, but it is likely that it was destroyed when the Vipers were ejected from the Inner Sphere. Alternatively it is possibly that it was destroyed during the fighting against [[Clan Snow Raven]] in 3065, when the Vipers took heavy losses. <ref name=fmu66> ''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 66 </ref>
