−	The [[Clan Ghost Bear]]-operated ''[[Broadsword]]''-class [[DropShip]] CGB '''''Ice Dart''''' was one of five DropShips within a convoy of Ghost Bear vessels<ref name="TOTCp19">''Twilight of the Clans'', pp. 18–19: "Defender"</ref> encountered in the [[Deep Periphery]] on 15 December [[3059]] by the [[Second Star League]] force designated as [[Task Force Serpent|Task Force SERPENT]].

−	The Ghost Bear convoy was transporting scores of civilian caste members to the [[Inner Sphere]] from the [[Clan Homeworlds]]<ref name="THp203">''The Hunters'', pp. 203–207: "Chapter 23"</ref> and consisted of three [[WarShip]]s—the ''[[Congress]]''-class frigate [[Shining Claw|CGB ''Shining Claw'']] and two ''[[Whirlwind]]''-class destroyers, the [[Fire Fang|CGB ''Fire Fang'']] and [[Ursus (Individual Whirlwind-class WarShip)|CGB ''Ursus'']]—and the ''[[Invader]]''-class [[JumpShip]] [[Winter Wind|CGB ''Winter Wind'']]. The ''Ice Dart'' was being transported by the ''Winter Wind'' along with two ''[[Union-C]]''-class DropShips, the [[Arctic Frost|CGB ''Arctic Frost'']] and a sister ship, the [[Blue Kodiak|CGB ''Blue Kodiak'']].<ref name="TOTCp19"/>	+	The Ghost Bear convoy was transporting scores of civilian caste members to the [[Inner Sphere]] from the [[Clan Homeworlds]]<ref name="THp203">''The Hunters'', p. 203-207, "Chapter 23"</ref> and consisted of three [[WarShip]]s - the ''[[Congress]]''-class frigate [[Shining Claw|CGB ''Shining Claw'']] and two ''[[Whirlwind]]''-class destroyers, the [[Fire Fang|CGB ''Fire Fang'']] and [[Ursus (Whirlwind)|CGB ''Ursus'']] - and the ''[[Invader]]''-class [[JumpShip]] [[Winter Wind|CGB ''Winter Wind'']].

−	Despite being outnumbered by the Task Force SERPENT naval flotilla a ''[[batchall]]'' was acknowledged and responded to by [[Star Colonel]] [[Alonso Gilmour]], Captain of the ''Shining Claw'' and the officer in overall command of the convoy, and all Ghost Bear vessels were committed to the battle.<ref name="THp192">''The Hunters'', pp. 191–192: "Chapter 22"</ref> The Captain of the ''Winter Wind'', [[Star Captain]] Hector, was determined to be able to jump out of the system to avoid being captured by hostile ships; as a result, he demanded that the crew of the ''Winter Wind'' begin hot-charging the [[K-F Drive]], rather than risking waiting the remaining five hours required for the drive to charge from the [[jump sail]]. Despite the preparations made by the crew of the ''Winter Wind'', she was disabled early in the battle by the ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer [[Ranger (Individual Lola III-class WarShip, ComStar)|ISS ''Ranger'']], which destroyed her field initiator and drive controller with a combination of a [[White Shark]] capital missile strike and heavy naval laser fire.<ref name="THp203"/>	+	Despite being outnumbered by the Task Force SERPENT naval flotilla a ''[[batchall]]'' was acknowledged and responded to by [[Star Colonel]] [[Alonso Gilmour]], Captain of the ''Shining Claw'' and the officer in overall command of the convoy, and all Ghost Bear vessels were committed to the battle.<ref name="THp192">''The Hunters'', p. 191-192, "Chapter 22"</ref> The Captain of the ''Winter Wind'', [[Star Captain]] Hector, was determined to be able to jump out of the system to avoid being captured by hostile ships; as a result, he demanded that the crew of the ''Winter Wind'' begin hot-charging the [[K-F Drive]], rather than risking waiting the remaining five hours required for the drive to charge from the [[jump sail]].

−	The battle was a victory for Task Force SERPENT; while the ''Winter Wind'' was permanently disabled and the ''Ursus'' destroyed, the ''Fire Fang'' surrendered in a repairable state and the ''Shining Claw'' surrendered after taking crippling damage. The Task Force SERPENT report indicated that two damaged ''Union-Cs'' were recovered, but didn't confirm which two of the four those were by name; it is therefore possible that one was the ''Blue Kodiak''. Also captured intact was the ''Ice Dart'' and the embarked Striker Star of [[OmniMech]]s; the ''Ice Dart'' was renamed the DCS '''''Stiletto''''' and joined the DropShips embarked on the ''Haruna'' in place of the ''Hainan'', which was lost during the battle.<ref name="THp240">''The Hunters'', p. 240: "Chapter 27"</ref>	+	The battle was a victory for Task Force SERPENT; while the ''Winter Wind'' was permanently disabled and the ''Ursus'' destroyed, the ''Fire Fang'' surrendered in a repairable state and the ''Shining Claw'' surrendered after taking crippling damage.
