The FSS Marlette was a Robinson-class transport in service with the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns during the First Succession War.

History[edit]

One of the relatively small number of ships to have either not been drafted into the task forces that fought at the Battle of Cholame or a survivor of the battle, the Marlette was still active in March 2814, when she acted as the lead ship of the three-ship naval escort for the AFFS task force dispatched to liberate Dahar IV. Operating alongside a pair of Davion II-class destroyers, the Marlette battled the only Draconis Combine Admiralty WarShip on station in the system, the Aegis-class heavy cruiser DCA Eos. Although the Eos was outnumbered, it used nuclear-tipped capital missiles to deadly effect, crippling both destroyers and inflicting heavy damage on the Marlette before being destroyed.[1]
