History

The second-of-class WarShip of the Agamemnon-class of heavy cruisers, the Aineas fared poorly during trials and testing in the late 3050s and a series of mishaps that led to many in the crew wondering if the ship was jinxed. In the face of such issues as a complete failure of electrical systems that allowed the ship to be "destroyed" in a training exercise by the much lighter Zechetinu-class corvette FWLS Tirana the Captain of the Aineas, Captain Fernando Indurain, was having problems shepherding the Aineas through her acceptance trials while also trying to keep morale aboard his ship out of the doldrums.[1]

By 3067 the Aineas had been in service for the better part of a decade and was one of four cruisers of her class and manufacturing block known to be on active service, serving alongside the FWLS Hippolyta, FWLS Menelaus and FWLS Troy.[2]

The Aineas was suborned by the Word of Blake during the Jihad, along with her sister ships Hippolyta and Troy.[3] The Blakists subsequently deployed the Aineas in their attack on Arc-Royal in 3072 along with the Troy[4] and the Aegis-class heavy cruiser Olympic, where both the Olympic and the Troy were destroyed.[4][3] The attack also saw the destruction of two defending Clan Wolf-in-Exile WarShips, the Aegis-class CWS Jade Wolf and the Vincent Mk. 42-class corvette CWS Valiant.[5]

In 3077 the Aineas was destroyed over Dieron by Star Admiral James Lankenau along with a substantial number of other former League ships suborned by the Blakists.[3][6]
