The first-of-class ship of the ''[[Zechetinu]]''-class of corvettes, the '''''Tirana''''' was also the prototype for the program, and by [[3059]], was in active service as the FWLS ''Tirana''. The ''Tirana'' consistently outclassed other ships in her weight class in trials and exercises, leading to the [[Free Worlds League]] placing orders for another ten ships of the class; the most remarkable event during the ''Tirana's'' early career was the mock-destruction of the much heavier ''[[Agamemnon]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Aineas|FWLS ''Aineas'']] in battle exercises while under the command of [[Captain]] [[Romero Gorshin]]. As one of four [[WarShip]]s in the League's "public fleet" at the time, the ''Tirana'' was stationed at the [[SelaSys Incorporated]] shipyards at [[Loyalty]].<ref name="FM:FWLp117">''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 117, "FWLS Tirana"</ref>

By [[3067]], the ''Tirana'' had been in service for the better part of a decade and was one of four corvettes of her class known to be on active service, serving alongside the [[Attica|FWLS ''Attica'']], [[Karelia|FWLS ''Karelia'']], and [[Sparta (Individual Zechetinu-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Sparta'']].<ref name="FM:Up144">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 144, "Ships Of The FWL"</ref>

The ''Sparta'' was suborned by the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]] and operated as a part of their fleet; The ''Tirana'' was destroyed in the [[Dieron]] system in [[3077]].<ref name="J:FRp128">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 128, "Captured Ships"</ref>

* As of [[3139]], a ''Tirana'' memorial stood in the middle of a piazza in Fidelity on [[Loyalty]] commemorating a heroic space battle, presumably including the [[WarShip]].<ref name="RTC">''To Ride the Chimera'', Chapter 54</ref>
