Under the command of Captain Thomas Theisman, PNS Sword was assigned to Ninth Cruiser Squadron and Commodore Reichman to ambush a five-ship Manticoran convoy and its five escort consistent of two light cruisers and three destroyers. The ambush ended with three of the Havenite cruisers being destroyed and at least one more losing its forward Alpha nodes, forcing the remainder to stop their pursuit to aid their wounded squadron-mate. However, all five Manticoran escorts were destroyed. (HH3)
