Grandin's Crusaders fell back in an orderly fashion as the convoy closed on the DropPort, skirmishing with the Blakist forces until Kerai-Indrahar boarded a waiting ''[[Condor (DropShip class)|Condor]]''-class DropShip. The Blakists attempted to intercept Kerai-Indrahar's ship off-world, leading to Grandin engaging the Blakist forces with the ''Tonnant'' untli the Blakist fighters had been driven off; the DCMS subsequently rewarded the Crusaders for "volunteering" to engage the Blakists a second time - albeit at the urging of their IE liaison - by supplying them with a range of military equipment.<ref name="TCp58A"/>

In February [[3069]] the ''Tonnant'' was involved in a covert operation in the [[Thraxa]] system on behalf of the [[Magistracy Intelligence Ministry]]. The Crusaders had been running relief convoys into the [[Rim Commonality]] on behalf of a group called [[The Coterie]] when they were routed to the [[Gambilon]] system. At the urging of IE once more, the Crusaders accepted a contract that took them to the nadir [[jump point]] in the Thraxa system, where they were met by three [[Mark VII Landing Craft]] operated by Canopian intelligence agents. The ''Tonnant'' escorted the three craft to Thraxa, where two of the elite teams served as a distraction for the local militia and mercenary forces whilst the third landing craft successfully inserted its personnel via HALO drop. The ''Tonnant'' took some minor damage during the operation, but the generous contract payment more than covered the cost of the repair work, which was performed at an IE yard. During the operation Grandin identified one of the mercenary units as a unit impressed into service with the Word of Blake via the [[Company Store]] trap, but withheld that information; Grandin subsequently learned that the entire operation had itself been a distraction, covering for an operation aimed at toppling the local government on Thraxa, which was collaborating with the Blakists.
