−	What Sheridan and the crew of the ''Inquisitor'' didn't realize was that two of the warning shots had been placed too close to the mining colony, and had collapsed some of the underground structures; this sent the miners into a frenzy, and every colony DropShip in orbit targeted the ''Inquisitor'' with everything they could. In addition to the orbiting ships, every ship that could launch from the colony did so and joined the attack on the ''Inquisitor'', leaving the crew of the ''Inquisitor'' overwhelmed with potential targets. Sheridan ordered his gunners to disable the enemy DropShips, but was soon forced to order all weapons free when the gunners found themselves in danger of being swamped.<ref name="H:OKp42+"/>	+	What Sheridan and the crew of the ''Inquisitor'' didn't realise was that two of the warning shots had been placed too close to the mining colony, and had collapsed some of the underground structures; this sent the miners into a frenzy, and every colony DropShip in orbit targeted the ''Inquisitor'' with everything they could.

Sheridan called in the naval reserves assigned to the Babylon system and ordered an evacuation of the ''Inquisitor''; the naval reserve was able to secure the Babylon system, and with the various ships of the reserve contributing their damage control teams to the damage control operations aboard the ''Inquisitor'' the ship was saved, but it would take decades for the damage to be repaired.<ref name="H:OKp42+"/> The ''Inquisitor'' would remain in service with the Cloud Cobras as the CCS ''Inquisitor''; by [[3061]], the ''Inquisitor'' was the only WarShip assigned to [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Cloud Cobra)|Zeta Galaxy]]<ref name="FM:WCp28">''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 28: "Naval Forces"</ref> and was still listed as being in service with the Cloud Cobras as of [[3067]].<ref name="FM:Up55">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 55: "Naval Assets"</ref> ===Wars of Reaving=== In August [[3069]] the ''Inquisitor'' was operating alongside the [[The Protector|CCS ''The Protector'']] in the [[Tanis]] system; when a small merchant fleet from [[Clan Ice Hellion]] jumped into the system unannounced on the 28th of August, Cloud Cobra [[Star Admiral]] [[Hollyann Kardaan]] took no chances, believing that the Ice Hellions may be attempting to capture the Tanis system, as had already been attempted at least once before in recent years. As a result, Kardaan ordered the ''Inquisitor'' and ''The Protector'' to attack, destroying three [[JumpShip]]s and their [[DropShip]]s; the Hellions would subsequently protest that the ships had simply jumped to the nearest inhabited system to effect repairs on a damaged JumpShip.<ref name="WORp39">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 39: "Patience of the Cobra"</ref> The Ice Hellion ships, operating under the command of [[Star Captain]] [[Mora Taney]], had actually been a deliberate attempt to infiltrate Ice Hellion Watch personnel into the Tanis system, something that the Cloud Cobras discovered when sifting through the debris and which the Cloud Cobras alerted their allies in [[Clan Star Adder]] to afterwards.<ref name="WORp44">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 44: "The Hellion Plan"</ref> The ''Inquisitor'' was destroyed during the [[Trial of Abjuration|Abjuration]] of [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]]; the ''Inquisitor'' was lost alongside the ''[[Fredasa (WarShip class)|Fredasa]]''-class [[Hell Fury|CCS ''Hell Fury'']] when the Cloud Cobras secured the world of [[Roche]] from the Scorpions in January [[3081]].<ref name="WORp160">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 160: "WarShips"</ref><ref name="WORp158">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 158: "Leaders (3085)"</ref> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Warden Clans]]'' * ''[[Historical: Operation Klondike]]'' * ''[[The Wars of Reaving]]'' [[Category: Individual WarShips]] [[Category: Individual Heavy Cruisers]] [[Category: Individual Aegis-class WarShips]]
