In December 3074 the Vipers launched a massive assault on against [[Clan Coyote]] on [[Tamaron]] with six Galaxies and a large naval force. The Viper WarShips opened up holes in the Coyote SDS allowing the DropShips a path through. Alpha Galaxy led the way but it wasn't long until all six Galaxies had made planetfall despite the fierce aerospace attacks. After a week fighting the Vipers finally forced the remnant of the Coyote navy to flee. The ground forces made for their objectives, several major factory complexes in the Apache Mountains. Securing these cost the Coyotes both [[Epsilon Galaxy (Clan Coyote)|Epsilon]] and [[Lambda Galaxy (Clan Coyote)|Lambda]] Galaxies. The Viper assault then turned toward the planetary capital of San Mateo. By 16 December the city was surrounded. Four Coyote Galaxies had been destroyed, but at the cost of three of the Vipers' own.<ref name=WoR1423>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 142–143</ref>

[[IlKhan]] Andrews' violation of the Council's rules and traditions by shooting Khan N'Buta during the meeting pushed the Cloud Cobra Khan [[Hollyann Kardaan]] to condemn the act as evidence of the Steel Vipers' corruption, calling for an Annihilation of the Clan. Alpha were defending [[New Kent]] when a combined Clan force attacked in December [[3075]]. After an epic naval battle that saw over 500 Viper fighters engage and destroyed the last of the Viper capital ships the Clans landed. Over a quarter of the transport DropShips had been destroyed in space and the ground batteries took a further toll. The Blood Spirits land first followed by the Stone Lions, silencing the batteries and allowing the rest of the assault force to land. After a week of fighting the Vipers including Alpha Galaxy were surrounded. The final assault eventually came after a lull in fighting, but the Vipers turn the shattered street of New Kent City into a fortress and could not be dislodged. As the casualties mounted the new ilKhan recalled his forces and obliterated the city and all surviving Steel Vipers with an orbital bombardment.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 149–150</ref>
