In [[3047]], during the tenure of House Master [[Virginia York]], 13-year-old [[Aris Sung]] stole Crescent Moon from the Hiritsu stronghold on [[Randar]], to prove his worthiness to be accepted into House Hiritsu. When he was captured, the sword was missing; he had hidden it by taping it underneath the House Master's seat. She ordered him to return it after she left the room, and he is implied to have done so.<ref name="BF">''Binding Force''</ref>

In [[3051]] (or possibly late 3050) Senior Colonel [[James Teng]] and [[Warrior House Imarra]] House Master [[Ion Rush]], caretakers of the Capellan interests, sent [[Warrior House Hiritsu]] to [[Gei-Fu]] to quell the uprising. The Warrior House vanquished the local militia (which included only one [[lance]] of [[BattleMech#Light|light]] [[BattleMech]]s) and restored order in short order. A public execution of the planetary director and his supporters was prepared in Hsien Park in the Gei-Fu city of Yushui on the 8th of March, 3051. However, the ceremony was interrupted by the sole remaining militia 'Mech, a ''[[Stinger]]'', which had managed to sneak into the park through the Nunya River in an attempt to kill Hiritsu House Master [[Virginia York]] who was present for the executions. York was saved by [[Aris Sung]] who also managed to capture the 'Mech.<ref name="BF"/>

During the Kaifeng campaign, five Hiritsu MechWarriors (Thom Lindell, Terry Chan, Jill McDaniels, Brion Lee and Kevin Larsen) betrayed their House in an attempt to weed out what they perceived to be weak elements that stood in the way of greater glory. Lindell murdered House Master York aboard the Kaifeng recharge station at the start of the invasion. Their plot was revealed, but covered up to protect the integrity of the House. With the exception of Lindell, who was later executed, the perpetrators were given a chance to die (rigged) hero's deaths in a suicidal final attack, luring the Kaifeng defenders into a trap in the process and winning the final confrontation. In all official records they are listed as combat casualties, and House Master York is officially considered the victim of an unknown Sarnese or [[MIIO]] assassin.<ref name="BF"/>
