Commissioned during the Star League Era, the FWLS Majestic was an Atreus-class battleship in service with the Free Worlds League Navy.

History[edit]

First Succession War[edit]

In August of 2788, the Majestic was part of a naval flotilla of Marik WarShips sent into the Capellan Confederation as retribution for Task Force Devlin's overwhelming assault on New Delos. The Marik Naval Taskforce consisted of Majestic's sister ship Kanata, League-class destroyers Andria and Avellino, and two highly modified Carrack-class transports which served as aerospace carriers. Carrying out its orders, the Majestic's task force firebombed the cities of New Canton as part of House Marik's revenge.[1]

Second Succession War[edit]

The last noted action of the Majestic was during the defense of Andurien in October 2838. A Liao invasion consisting of a number of regiments and WarShips tried to retake the planet. The Majestic, by this time, was among the last of the Marik WarShip fleet. It and three other survivors made a strong defense of the Andurien star system. Liao forces were first bloodied at both of the planet's jump points. The Majestic, along with the Soyal-class heavy cruiser, FWLS Kumbha, arrived in orbit as Liao ground troops proceeded to make their landings. The Majestic and its allied forces was able to destroy a fifth of the Liao landing forces before they made their way to the surface. In the course of the battle, two Liao WarShips were lost in the engagement with the Marik fleet. However, the battle over Andurien would eventually result in the Majestic's destruction. The ship's wreckage remained in orbit until 2843, when it finally burned up in the planet's atmosphere after being a navigation hazard for aerospace craft making their way to and from the planet.[2]

Notes[edit]

  • Much of the Majestic's actions during the Succession Wars and during the earlier Star League Era are unknown.
