History[edit]

The FWLS Vrishabha was a member of the Soyal-class of Heavy Cruisers constructed by the Delhi WarShips.[1] The ship was among the very few of the Soyal-class which were ordered by the Free Worlds League. The Vrishabha was among the ships ordered by the League's navy due to an arms buildup triggered by the Confederation placing an order for their own batch of Soyal-class Ships and its feared Mass Driver.

The only notable actions of the ship occurred during the early months of 2790, where it was assigned as part of the fleet to capture the Duchy of Andurien's old capital world from the Capellan Confederation. The Vrishabha provided support to the fleet of four Atreus-class battleships and League-class Destroyers. In the course of the battle, the two Capellan Baron-class Destroyer were overwhelmed by the League fleet, however before they were taken out, the Vrishabha would be their most notable victim in this battle. The Capellan forces would end up crippling the Heavy Cruiser, causing it to crash on to the surface of the Andurien moon, Mulhacen.[2]

Notes[edit]

  • As of this writing, there is limited information regarding other actions of the Vrishabha during the early stages of the First Succession War.
