With all [[Successor State]] [[WarShip]]s lost in the early [[Succession War]]s, even the slim prospect that the Taurian's could return the Tripitz to service appalled the First Circuit. − In response, Primus Takami ordered the [[1st Division (ComStar)|First Division]] of the [[Com Guards|ComStar Guards and Militia]] to the star system with orders to destroy the ''Tripitz'' rather than risk it falling into the hands of either the Taurians or the Capellans. To disguise ComStar's complicity, Takami ordered that the ships and fighters be painted white and given no identifying markings that might link them to the Order. Their advanced [[Star League Defense Force]] [[aerospace fighter]]s countering their inexperience, the ComStar forces successfully destroyed the ''Tripitz'' without revealing their identity, the incident eventually inspiring the legend of the [[Vandenberg White Wings]] in [[Periphery]] folklore.<ref name=CSp46/><ref name=FMCSp13/> + In response Primus Takami ordered the [[1st Division (ComStar)|1st Division]] of the [[ComGuard|ComStar Guards]] sent to destroy the ship before the Taurian Concordat could recover it.

However, despite a few minor successes, many of the assassinations were stopped by the [[Federated Suns]]' [[Ministry of Intelligence Investigations and Operations]] and [[Draconis Combine]]'s [[Internal Security Force]].
