During the [[Wars of Reaving]] the ''Midnight Star'' was involved in the defense of [[Tamaron]] from [[Clan Steel Viper]] in late [[3074]]. The Steel Viper force attacking Tamaron consisted of most of the [[Clan Steel Viper Touman|Steel Viper ''touman'']], spearheaded by the ''[[Leviathan Prime]]''-class battleship [[Perigard Zalman (Individual Leviathan-class WarShip)|CSV ''Perigard Zalman'']], which arrived with the Steel Viper flotilla in the Tamaron system on the 7th of December 3074 and immediately began to fight its way towards the planet in what became the largest naval battle in the Pentagon Worlds since [[Operation KLONDIKE]]. Although the ''Perigard Zalman'' was ultimately defeated, the Steel Viper forces were able to reach the planet, and the ''Midnight Star'' was one of only two Coyote vessels to escape from the system.<ref name="WoRp142+">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 142-143, "Viper's Venom"</ref>

While the ''Midnight Star'' managed to avoid being destroyed during the massive battle at Tamaron, it took heavy damage in combat with the Steel Vipers, and in [[3084]] was decommissioned; with the Coyote naval fleet down to just a small handful of vessels in the wake of the Wars of Reaving, the ''Midnight Star'' was likely to be cannibalized to provide parts to support the surviving functional Coyote WarShips and then scuttled.<ref name="WoRp165">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 165, "WarShips"</ref>
