Taplon Akiyama was the captain of the Achilles-class DropShip DCS Rapier during the Second Succession War and was assigned as part of the support of the Samarkand-class Galedon II escort.[1]
History[edit]
In 2853 the Galedon II took part in an offensive against Hesperus II, later dubbed the sixth, seventh and eighth battles of Hesperus II where the Draconis Combine enacted a blockade of the Hesperus system.
The Lyran Commonwealth famously reactivated their ancient battlecruiser LCS Invincible to break through the Combine siege. It jumped to the Hesperus system's nadir jump point on 25 October 2853 with six military DropShips and smashed through the Combine blockade vessels, destroying most of them. Only the Galedon II escaped by means of a preplanned jump to an irregular jump point close to Hesperus II at the last minute, taking the DropShips Katana, Rapier, Broadsword and Sabeeh plus a few squadrons of aerospace fighters with it.[2]
The ship was destroyed in this first fight.[2]
