History

The WoBS Deliverance is a Essex-class WarShip. Originally a Star League vessel, the Deliverance was salvaged by the Free Worlds League in the late 3050s. It was donated to the Word of Blake in thanks for the aid given to the League's WarShip programs. This ship first saw combat with a ComStar battlecruiser, the Invisible Truth, in 3058, where it was defeated and forced to escape.[1][2] The ship was repaired and used in the early years of the Jihad against ComStar on Tukayyid. With the McKenna-class battleship, Blake's Sword, the Deliverance overran the planet's space-borne defenders to assault the planet. The ship took heavy damage from its ComStar sister-ship, the CSV Hammerstrike.[3] The Deliverance was destroyed in the Tukayyid system in 3074.[4]
