'''''VaultShip Beta''''' was one of six [[VaultShip]]s commissioned by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] in [[3132]] in response to the [[Blackout]], to stabilize the [[Kerensky (currency)|Kerensky]] by using the assets stored aboard the vessel for trade along the [[Clan Occupation Zones]].<ref>''Tamar Rising'', p. 42</ref> These VaultShips were reconfigured ''Mule''-class [[DropShip]]s.<br />
<br />
For the purpose of this article, ''VaultShip Beta'' is considered to be the name of the individual VaultShip. It is ultimately unclear if this was the true name of the DropShip itself (which would have existed, presumably under another name, before the conversion), or if it referred to the DropShip's role with its entire task force which would invariably encompass a [[JumpShip]] with a [[Lithium-Fusion Battery]] and assorted escort assets including at least an [[assault DropShip]] and a [[Trinary]] of troops.<br />
<br />
==Operational History==<br />
''Beta''&#39;s operating area was the [[Wolf Empire]], and most of its travels were along set routes. As with all of other VaultShips, its initial Trinary was composed of elite warriors, but after [[3137]] they were moved to the [[Golden Ordun]] and replaced by ''[[solahma]]'' and ''[[dezgra]]'' warriors, the dregs of the [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|Falcon ''touman'']], proving how little the new Khan, [[Malvina Hazen]], appreciated the ships' vital work.<ref>''Tamar Rising'', pp. 42–43</ref><br />
<br />
After Malvina began her move to [[Terra]], she ordered all VaultShips returned to [[Sudeten]] and emptied of their contents. Merchant Factor [[Marena]], who was aboard ''Alpha'', ignored the order. With the HPG Blackout and the confusion of orders to mobilize the Falcons' full ''touman'', Marena gambled on the hunch that Malvina could not understand what a VaultShip was and pretended that ''Alpha'' was unable to return. This forced Malvina to depart without the Clan's money. Marena took the opportunity to create her own state in the [[Hinterlands]], the [[Alyina Mercantile League]], and called all VaultShips there.<ref>''Tamar Rising'', p. 43</ref><br />
<br />
After the end of [[Battle of Terra (3151)|Battle of Terra]] signaled the Falcons' defeat and subordination to [[Clan Wolf]], Wolf forces in the Empire attacked VaultShip Beta, trying to seize it, claiming that all that once belonged to the Falcons now belonged to the Wolves. Their attempt failed. VaultShip Beta returned to [[Alyina]] and to Marena's new state.<ref>''Tamar Rising'', pp. 43–44</ref><br />
<br />
As all the contracts between Wolves and Falcons were now void, at least for the time being, all of VaultShip Beta's contents were offloaded and stored on Alyina. A rogue [[mercenary]] group, the [[Tread of Doom]], broke its contract with the League and unsuccessfully attempted to steal VaultShip Beta's riches.<ref>''Tamar Rising'', pp. 44–46</ref><br />
