Ironside was one of the three frigates that accompanied Griffin to the Coyote system, to assist with the rescue of the White Knights and the salvaging of the ATAFs. During the battle over Mythos, it was assigned to covering the midfield, along with Erik The Red and Leviathan.

Ironside journeyed to the Adetton system, to take part in phase two of Black Widow. It was caught up in the ambush set up by the Pandoran fleet and was destroyed during the battle that followed.
