History

The Cameron-class battlecruiser Incense was a Star League Defense Force WarShip that survived the Hegemony Campaign to liberate Terra from the forces of Stefan Amaris, and subsequently followed General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus.

Following the rise of the Clans and their dominance over the Pentagon worlds following the Pentagon Civil War the Incense was one of the naval vessels incorporated into the touman of Clan Cloud Cobra. As at 3061, the CCS Incense was one of five WarShips to make up the Cloud Cobra Alpha Naval Reserve, alongside the Cataclysm, Brimstone, The Protector and the Blind Faith.[1]

The Incense was still in service with the Cloud Cobras in 3067.[2] However, by 3072 the Incense had been acquired by the resurgent Clan Burrock and renamed the Tremor.[3]

The CCS Incense was captured by dark caste raiders in the Tanis system in late January 3072 as part of a strike that saw the bandits arrive via pirate point and land on top of the Cloud Cobra command complex in the system.[4]

The Tremor was waiting in the Nouveaux Paris system in July 3072, acting in support of the Society cell that had seized the waystation; the presence of the Tremor was discovered by a small Clan Hell's Horses naval force consisting of the Black Knight and the Blood Horse. The Hell's Horses forces were shadowed by the Burrock forces, who refused to respond to any hails, and when the Hell's Horses deployed DropShips to land on the planet, the Tremor's screening forces attacked, inflicting heavy casualties on the Horses but unable to prevent at least some Hell's Horses forces from landing.[5]

The Tremor didn't engage the Clan Star Adder forces that subsequently arrived in the Nouveaux Paris system, but after the combined Burrock and Dark Caste forces forced the Star Adders to retreat from the planet the Tremor escorted the victorious bandit forces away from Nouveaux Paris.[6]
