Her unit, along with the [[Black Knight (Individual Lola III-class WarShip)|CHH ''Black Knight'']] was sent to rendezvous with the ''Potemkin''-class [[Blood Horse|CHH ''Blood Horse'']] in early June [[3071]], bringing [[Eta Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Eta Galaxy]] to investigate the mysterious silence from the Horses' outpost at [[Nouveaux Paris]]. Arriving in July [[3072]], the Hell's Horses were surprised to find a [[Cameron (WarShip class)|''Cameron'']]-class battlecruiser waiting at the zenith point of the Nouveaux Paris system. The ship - later identified as the [[Tremor|CBS ''Tremor'']] - was a former [[Clan Cloud Cobra]] WarShip captured by the [[Society]] and the resurgent [[Clan Burrock]]. The ''Tremor'' was acting in support of the [[Society]] cell that had seized the waystation; as the Hell's Horses forces moved towards the planet, they were shadowed by the Burrock forces, who refused to respond to any hails. When the Hell's Horses deployed [[DropShip]]s to land on the planet, the ''Tremor''&#39;s screening forces attacked, inflicting heavy casualties on the Horses but were unable to prevent at least some Hell's Horses forces from landing.<ref name="WORp119+">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 119–120: "Spreading Contagion"</ref>

The Burrock forces attacked as the Hell's Horses were trying to make planetfall, and before Eta Galaxy had a chance to establish a perimeter on the ground they were swamped by Burrock ground forces. Losing a [[DropShip]] and Star Colonel '''Kymma DeLaurel''' in quick succession, the bulk of Eta Galaxy was destroyed, with only the [[39th BattleMech (Clan Hell's Horses)|Thirty-Ninth Battle Cluster]] managing to pull back to the ''Black Knight''. Before the ''Black Knight'' had a chance to react, two [[Clan Star Adder]] WarShips arrived in the system - the ''Lola III''-class [[Warlock|CSA ''Warlock'']] and the ''[[Nightlord]]''-class battleship [[Absolute Truth|CSA ''Absolute Truth'']] and curtly ordered the Hell's Horses to either move out of the way or be run over. Left with little choice, the ''Black Knight'' retreated as the Star Adders began their battle to claim Nouveaux Paris.<ref name="WORp119+"/>
