The '''Raven Road''' was a section of the stellar route from the Snow Raven holdings in the [[Clan Homeworlds]] to the distant [[Outworlds Alliance]].<ref name="WORp42">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 42, "Raven Justice"</ref>

Post-[[3060]], the Ravens began to see the limitations of their recent gains, and decided to send an expeditionary force to the [[Inner Sphere]]. While scouting the near-[[Periphery]], the Snow Raven force stumbled upon an [[Outworlds Alliance]] [[JumpShip]] and staged a trial of possession for it, offering a [[Titan (DropShip class)|Titan]] class [[DropShip]] as collateral. Surprisingly, the Snow Ravens were beaten by the Alliance pilots. Greatly impressed, they offered their hand in friendship and eventually formalized a make-shift alliance that has allowed Snow Raven vessels to use Outworlds recharge stations, in exchange for refurbishing an old [[Star League]]-era naval base at [[Quatre Belle]]. The Snow Ravens also helped the Alliance develop its own [[OmniFighter]], the [[Corax]] (named in honor of the Ravens). This was their first contact with the Inner Sphere and it was when the roots of what would become the Raven Road were built.

During the [[Jihad]], Clan Snow Raven was put on trial for their war with the [[Draconis Combine]]. [[IlKhan]] [[Brett Andrews]] stated that the Raven's tactics were another example of the Inner Sphere's taint corrupting them. Being the Steel Viper's enemies made it easier for them to be [[Trial of Abjuration|abjured]] from clan space. The Snow Ravens were abjured from Clan Space and their holdings were contested by the other clans. A naval convoy left behind was destroyed by the [[Snake Alliance]], including [[Epsilon Garrison Galaxy (Clan Snow Raven)|Epsilon Garrison Galaxy]].<ref name=WoR102-4>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 102-4</ref>
