The remaining three ships of the Ice Storm Star were assigned to [[Task Force CRONUS]] during the planning for the assault on [[Terra]] itself and were joined by the ''[[Conqueror]]''-class carrier [[Ark Royal (Individual Conqueror-class WarShip)|CSR ''Ark Royal'']]; CRONUS was a predominantly-Clan naval force consisting of fourteen assorted WarShips<ref name="JHS:Tp95">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 95: "Classified: Eyes Only - Top Secret"</ref> under the overall command of Admiral [[Alex Douglas]], and was charged with the neutralization of the Blakists' [[Titan Yards]]. While viewed by many as a relatively easy precursor for the heavy fighting to come, Titan was the seat of the Word's WarShip and aerospace production and maintenance facilities in the Terran system, and was equipped with a fully functional [[Caspar II]] Drone network and a number of the deadly [["Dragon's Breath" Multiple Capital Missile Launch System]]s.<ref name=JHST-97/>

Initially facing waves of manned and drone [[aerospace fighter]]s and long-range missile attacks, the Coalition ships soon came under fire from a horde of manned and drone Pocket WarShips, as well as the ''[[Essex]]''-class destroyer [[Deathblow|WoBS ''Deathblow'']], the ''[[Dante (WarShip class)|Dante]]''-class frigate [[Narbonne|WoBS ''Narbonne'']], and the ''[[Suffren]]''-class destroyer [[Manchester|WoBS ''Manchester'']]—three [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] WarShips salvaged by the Blakists from unsuccessful [[Case White (event)|Case WHITE]] attack on Terra.<ref name=JHST-97/>
