In [[3061]], the ''[[Carrack]]''-class transport CDS '''''Devourer''''' was a [[WarShip]] in service with the [[Clan Diamond Shark Touman|Clan Diamond Shark ''touman'']].<ref name="FM:WCp65">''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 65: "Naval Assets"</ref>

==History==
Unlike a number of other WarShips operated by the Diamond Sharks, the ''Devourer'' survived the [[Wars of Reaving]], but in an embarrassing incident for the Clan, the ''Devourer'' suffered catastrophic damage and was lost at [[Twycross]] in [[3084]]. The ''Devourer'' was lost not as a result of combat, but rather as a result of an accident caused by a misfiring thruster. The loss of the ''Devourer'' was linked in part to the amount of capacity from the Diamond Shark orbital facilities at Twycross being directed into the [[Labov Project]] rather than planned conversions, and the increasing number of accidents involving Diamond Shark ships as a result of this reduced capacity - of which the accident involving the ''Devourer'' was one - was the cause of considerable debate among the merchant and technical castes.<ref name="WORp173">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 173: "Clan Diamond Shark"</ref> While the ''Devourer'' was reported to have been destroyed, it was subsequently determined that the ship was merely disabled and left stranded in the Twycross system.<ref name="FM:3085p115">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 115: "The Sharks' Fleet"</ref> The Diamond Sharks redeployed the [[28th Cruiser (Clan Diamond Shark)|Twenty-eighth Cruiser Cluster]] to the ''Devourer'' after the accident.<ref name="FM:3085p115A">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 115: "Gamma Galaxy"</ref>

==Notes==
* The ''Devourer'' is identified as the base for the [[28th Cruiser (Clan Diamond Shark)|28th Cruiser Cluster]] as of 31 October, [[3085]], about a year after its reported destruction.<ref name=FM3085_124>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 124: "Gamma Galaxy (Snapping Jaws Galaxy)"</ref>

* It was confirmed via a question in the "Ask The Writers" forum of the official [[Catalyst Game Labs]] forum that the ''Tracy'' had been renamed the ''Marshal Ney'':
