Serving as a part of the allied coalition, the FSS ''Admiral Micahel Saille'' was one of the Federated Suns WarShips to join in [[Operation SCOUR]], the liberation of the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]], and would fight all the way to [[Terra]]. Serving as a part of [[Task Force EARTHBOUND]] in [[3078]] the ''Admiral Michael Saille'' was directly involved in the battle for Terra itself.<ref name="JHS:Tp95">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 95: "Classified: Eyes Only - Top Secret"</ref> During the battle [[Vice Admiral]] [[Walker Clay]], Commanding Officer of the ''[[Fox (WarShip class)|Fox]]''-class corvette [[Indomitable (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|''Indomitable'']], disobeyed orders and tried to destroy the [[Beneficence|WoBS ''Beneficence'']], formerly the ''[[Avalon]]''-class cruiser [[Melissa Davion (Individual Avalon-class WarShip)|FCS ''Melissa Davion'']], which had been captured and suborned by the [[Word of Blake]]. Clay ordered [[Rear Admiral]] Marcelle of the ''Admiral Michael Saille'' to follow, and the ''Indomitable's'' first officer was shot and killed while attempting to remove Clay from command. Clay's actions cost [[Task Force EARTHBOUND]] part of its missile defense cover and the [[Clan Diamond Shark]] ''[[Potemkin]]''-class carrier [[Red Tide|CDS ''Red Tide'']] was struck and destroyed by multiple nuclear warheads. The ''Indomitable'' was lost with nearly a ninety percent loss of life (although Walker Clay survived) and the ''Admiral Saille'' was critically damaged, with Rear Admiral Marcelle killed during the battle.<ref name="FR:AFFSp4">''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 4, "Flag Dishonored"</ref>
