History

The Hollings York was a Congress-class WarShip which in 3062 was a part of the Com Guard Second Independent Squadron deployed in the Draconis Combine in 3061 and then the St. Ives Compact in 3062, where it operated in conjunction with SLDF peacekeeping forces.[1] The CSV Hollings York remained in service with ComStar as of 3067.[2]

In 3068 the vessel took part in Case White, ComStar's ill-fated attack on the Word of Blake on Terra, where it was initially reported as destroyed on 13 March.[3] It was actually the second ComStar vessel reportedly destroyed (after the Avenging Sword), but as it later turned out Hollings York was actually salvaged and put back into service as the WBS Hollings York. The Hollings York would serve as a part of the Blakist fleet until 3076, when it was destroyed in action at Dyev.[4][5]
