During the [[Wars of Reaving]] the ''Blood of the Coyote'' was involved in the Coyote campaign to seize [[Clan Diamond Shark]]'s holdings on [[Vinton]] in August [[3073]]. The ''Blood of Ages'' survived the Diamond Shark [[SDS]] in the system, although the SDS would claim both the [[Broken Sea|CCS ''Broken Sea'']] and the [[Courage (Individual Lola III-class WarShip)|CCS ''Courage'']], and went on to destroy the [[Deal Breaker|CDS ''Deal Breaker'']], although not before the ''Deal Breaker'' had gutted the ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer [[Honor of Ages|CCS ''Honor of Ages'']]. As the ''Blood of the Coyote'' was destroying the ''Deal Breaker'' several [[Star]]s of [[aerospace fighter]]s were destroying key components of the SDS to allow the Coyote ground forces to land.<ref name="WoRp130">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 130: "Vengeance on Vinton"</ref>

When the Coyote [[DropShips]] grounded at Aquatine Island were strafed by the Attack Squadron from the [[15th Cruiser (Clan Diamond Shark)|15th Cruiser Cluster]], a result of the local defenders traveling underwater from the nearby Ophilia Island and launching a spoiling attack against the defending Coyote forces, the Coyote response was to have the ''Blood of the Coyote'' bombard Ophilia Island from orbit, vaporising it and the five hundred thousand civilians on the island at the time.<ref name="WoRp130"/>

The battle for Vinton carried on into [[3074]], and in January a swarm consisting of several small craft and fourteen DropShips—including two [[Inner Sphere]] pattern ''[[Excalibur (DropShip class)|Excalibur]]''-class DropShips—launched from the Diamond Shark base at the pole and launched a counterstrike against the ''Blood of the Coyote''. The ''Blood of the Coyote'' took heavy damage from the assault, and when the [[Windrunner|CCS ''Windrunner'']] intervened the ''Blood of the Coyote'' took the opportunity to withdraw.<ref name="WoRp130"/>
