The Star Adder convoy discovered shortly after arriving that a group from the [[Dark Caste]] had already been working on activating ships from the mothballed fleet, and had already successfully activated a ''[[Kimagure]]''-class pursuit cruiser and a ''[[Riga (WarShip class)|Riga]]''-class frigate, both of which were missing from the cache;<ref name="WORp112+"/> with the [[Society]] providing WarShip assets to Clan Burrock, it was likely that these two ships were the ''Kimagure''-class [[Admiral Russell Nga|CBS ''Admiral Russell Nga'']] and ''Riga''-class [[Hetherington|CBS ''Hetherington'']] respectively.<ref name="WORp89">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 89: "Military Commands (3072)/WarShips"</ref>

As the Star Adders moved to engage the Dark Caste party, another supposedly mothballed ship from the cache, a ''[[Baron (WarShip class)|Baron]]''-class destroyer, powered up and moved to engage the Star Adder forces. Combined strikes from the ''Cameron's Flame'' and another Star Adder WarShip, the ''[[York (WarShip class)|York]]''-class destroyer [[Exodus Ranger|CSA ''Exodus Ranger'']], appeared to easily cripple the ''Baron'', but as the ''Cameron's Flame'' transited past the ''Baron'' the crew of the Dark Caste ship fired their main aft batteries and inflicted heavy damage on the ''Cameron's Flame''. The ''Cameron's Flame'' managed to maneuver slowly to try and finish off the ''Baron'' fired its thrusters and caused both ships to accidentally collide. The collision was the final straw for the ''Cameron's Flame'', which suffered a fatal loss of atmosphere, leaving most of the crew dead.<ref name="WORp112+"/>

The remaining Star Adder forces faced no other capital vessels in the system and easily destroyed the Dark Caste ships as they attempted to retreat away from the cache to the solitary [[JumpShip]] nearby; the Star Adders carefully picked off the smaller craft before destroying the JumpShip. The Star Adders then inspected the remaining cached ships before activating the [[Yorktown (Individual Samarkand-class WarShip)|CSA ''Yorktown'']], a ''[[Samarkand Block II (WarShip class)|Samarkand]]''-class carrier; based on the information available, [[Khan]] [[Stanislov N'Buta]] made the decision that the Star Adders didn't have the time or resources to reactivate the other WarShips and instead chose to destroy them. N'Buta also ordered the remains of the ''Cameron's Flame'' to be scuttled, denying the Dark Caste any more resources from the system.<ref name="WORp112+"/>
