Despite the preparations made by the crew of the ''Winter Wind'', she was disabled early in the battle by the ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer [[Ranger (Individual Lola III-class WarShip, ComStar)|ISS ''Ranger'']], which destroyed her field initiator and drive controller with a combination of a [[White Shark]] capital missile strike and heavy naval laser fire.<ref name="THp203"/> Despite the damage done to the ''Winter Wind'', Hector was insistent that she would not be captured, and ordered his crew to prepare to repel boarders.
