The '''''[[Dirk (Individual Union-class DropShip)|Dirk]]''''' was a ''[[Union]]''-class [[DropShip]] operated by [[Clan Jade Falcon]].  As of [[3052]] it was assigned to [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Gamma Galaxy]] as part of its Naval Support and attached to the ''Scabbard''.<ref name=JFS61>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 61: "Support Vessels"</ref>

As of [[3061]] the ''Aegis''-class heavy cruiser '''''Scabbard''''' was a WarShip within the [[Clan Snow Raven]] [[Clan Snow Raven Touman|''touman'']] and was serving as the CSR ''Scabbard'', one of ten WarShips that made up the [[Lum Garrison Fleet (Clan Snow Raven)|Lum Garrison Fleet]]. Paired with the ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer [[Bloody Talon|CSR ''Bloody Talon'']], the ''Scabbard'' was responsible for patrolling the shipping lanes stretching out from Lum to the nadir jump point and the Hofburg station located there.<ref name="FM:WCp131">''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 131: "Lum Garrison Fleet"</ref>

The ''Avalanche'' continued to serve in the Lum Garrison Fleet until at least [[3067]], operating alongside her sister ship [[Morning Violence|CSR ''Morning Violence'']], the ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Avalanche (Individual Sovetskii Soyuz-class WarShip)|CSR ''Avalanche'']], the ''[[Potemkin]]''-class cruisers [[Bonaventure (Individual Potemkin-class WarShip)|CSR ''Bonaventure'']] and [[Eden Rose|CSR ''Eden Rose'']], three destroyers - the ''Bloody Talon'', the ''[[York (WarShip class)|York]]''-class [[Corvidae|CSR ''Corvidae'']] and the ''[[Whirlwind]]''-class [[Drake (Individual Whirlwind-class WarShip)|CSR ''Drake'']] - and the ''[[Vincent]]''-class corvette [[Huninn|CSR ''Huninn'']].<ref name="FM:Up64">''Field Manual: Updates'', pp. 64–65: "Naval Assets"</ref>

One of the Snow Raven ships known to have been lost during the [[Jihad]], the ''Scabbard'' was one of the ships of the [[Ice Storm Naval Star (Clan Snow Raven)|Ice Storm Naval Star]] committed to support forces from the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]]; the Ice Storm Naval Star lost four WarShips during the course of the conflict, the ''Aegis''-class heavy cruisers [[Blue Quest|CSR ''Blue Quest'']] and ''Scabbard'', the ''Corvidae'' and the ''Huninn''.<ref name=FR:Cp18">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 18: "Fleet Assets"</ref>

The combined [[Clan Ghost Bear]] and Snow Raven task force which had agreed to support the allied coalition struck at a number of [[Word of Blake|Blakist]] worlds on the 21st of July [[3076]]; [[Dyev]] was one of the worlds targeted by the Clan forces, along with the nearby worlds of [[Kervil]], [[Ko]], [[Lambrecht]], [[Moore]] and [[Sabik]].<ref name="JHS:Tp22">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 22: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> What distinguishes Dyev is that in mid-December 3076 the Word of Blake launched a counteroffensive to try and recapture the planet, with the Blakist ground troops receiving support from a number of WarShips and [[Pocket WarShip]]s.<ref name="J:FRp56"/><ref name="JHS:Tp23">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 23: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18: "A Time of Cleansing"</ref> The resulting battles saw three Blakist WarShips destroyed, the ''[[Whirlwind]]''-class destroyer ''[[Fire Fang]]'', the ''Aegis''-class [[Righteous Fury (Individual Aegis-class WarShip)|WoBS ''Righteous Fury'']] and the ''[[Congress]]''-class frigate [[Hollings York (Individual Congress-class WarShip)|WoBS ''Hollings York'']].<ref name="J:FRp128">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 128: "Captured Ships"</ref> However, the Blakist vessels took on three Ghost Bear WarShips<ref name="JHS:Tp20">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 20: "Autopsy of Dyev"</ref> - the ''[[Leviathan II]]''-class battleship [[Rasalhague (Individual Leviathan-class WarShip)|CGB ''Rasalhague'']], the ''[[Nightlord]]''-class battleship [[Ursa Major|CGB ''Ursa Major'']] and the ''Scabbard''. As the Blakist WarShips and their accompanying [[Pocket WarShip]]s and assault [[DropShip]]s engaged the Clan WarShips, a second Blakist force arrived and delivered multiple troop DropShips onto Dyev, with two-thirds of the troops surviving and dispersing to avoid orbital bombardment from the Clan ships. The Clans took a heavy toll on the Blakist WarShips, however; the ''Scabbard'' was destroyed and the ''Ursa Major'' was heavily damaged, but the ''Fire Fang'', ''Righteous Fury'' and ''Hollings York'' were all destroyed.<ref name="JHS:3076p87+">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', pp. 87–88: "Dyev Hit by Blakist Counterattack!"</ref>
