By order of ilKhan Kerensky, the Jade Falcons were forced to surrender one of their worlds to the Steel Vipers as a base of operations, which they chose to be [[Waldorff]].  The [[Triasch Keshik (Clan Steel Viper)|Triasch Keshik]] was on hand to formally accept the handover in November [[3051]], but the insult was clear from the beginning.  The planet, while technically only eight parsecs from the [[Federated Commonwealth]] border, was thirty parsecs distant from the nearest of the seven targeted planets along the invasion corridor, forcing the Steel Vipers to jump four times to reach the front lines.  The Steel Vipers replied in kind by conducting a vicious Trial of Possession against the Jade Falcons for the right to invade [[Twycross]], site of the Falcons' greatest defeat, and after winning proceeded to liberate the world from the occupying FedCom troops in less than a day.<ref name=IC86/><ref name=FMWC136/><ref name=IC88>''Invading Clans'', p. 88</ref>

The Steel Vipers would challenge the Jade Falcons for the right to invade all seven of the targeted worlds in the Fifth Wave.  Three of these the Jade Falcons conceded without contest, although the Steel Vipers would only attack two prior to the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]].  Of the other four the Falcons won the Trials for [[La Grave]] and [[Quarell]], while settling for a draw for Orkney.  In their fighting against Inner Sphere forces, the Steel Vipers proved victorious, in part because of their willingness to use "dishonorable" tactics against opponents not worthy of ''[[zellbrigen]]''.<ref name=IC86/><ref name=IC88/>
