History
The Sovetskii Soyuz-class heavy cruiser[1] SLS White Cloud was the winner of the Best WarShip category of the 2736 Martial Olympiad.[2] The White Cloud survived the Hegemony Campaign to liberate Terra from the forces of Stefan Amaris, and subsequently followed General Aleksandr Kerensky on the Exodus.[1]
As at 3061 the White Cloud had been subsumed into the Clan Snow Raven touman and was serving as the CSR White Cloud, one of five WarShips that made up the Snow Raven Swift Wing Naval Assault Star.[1] The White Cloud was lost in the Kazanka system after the Draconis Combine scuttled the recharge station it was docked to.[3] The destruction of the White Cloud using what the Snow Ravens considered to be dishonourable or dezgra tactics was a major factor in the Snow Raven's decision to begin moving towards a partnership between the Clan and the Outworlds Alliance periphery state.[4]
The destruction of the White Cloud also led to the Swift Wing Naval Assault Star launching retaliatory raids against the undefended Draconis Combine worlds of Enif, Galedon V and Tabayama between the 10th and 14th of July 3068.[5]
