A symbol of martial pride for the [[Free Worlds League]], the FWLS '''''Impavido''''' was not just the first-of-class ship of the new ''[[Impavido]]'' class of destroyers, she was also the first new [[WarShip]] to be produced by the League in over two hundred years, and was launched in [[3057]], a year ahead of schedule. By [[3059]], the ''Impavido'' was stationed on display above [[Atreus (FWL)|Atreus]]; commanded by [[Commodore]] [[Ian Deakin]], a political appointee who obtained the privileged posting through family connections to [[SelaSys Incorporated]] of [[Loyalty]], the [[LCCC]] had attempted to reduce the potential impact of Deakin's command by ensuring that the very capable [[Major#Free Worlds League|Commander]] [[Eloise Hutchins]] had been posted to the ''Impavido''.<ref name="FM:FWLp116">''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 116: "FWLS Impavido"</ref>

By [[3067]], the ''Impavido'' had been in service for almost a decade and was one of three destroyers of her class known to be on active service, serving alongside the [[Janos Marik (Individual Impavido-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Janos Marik'']] and the [[Phrygia|FWLS ''Phrygia'']].<ref name="FM:Up144">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 144: "Ships Of The FWL"</ref>

The ''Impavido'' was suborned by the [[Word of Blake]] prior to the [[Jihad]]; her true colors were revealed when the ''Impavido'' was involved in a pitched naval battle in the Atreus system on 25 October [[3068]], where loyalist and Blakist elements of the Free Worlds League navy turned on each other. The ''Impavido'' joined the ''[[Thera]]''-class carrier [[Corinth|FWLS ''Corinth'']] and one of her escorts, the ''[[Eagle (WarShip class)|Eagle]]''-class frigate [[Mordred (Individual Eagle-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Mordred'']], the ''[[Black Lion]]''-class battlecruiser [[Xanthos (Individual Black Lion-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Xanthos'']], the ''[[Aegis (WarShip class)|Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Nueva Badajoz|FWLS ''Nueva Badajoz'']] and the ''[[Agamemnon]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Aineas|FWLS ''Aeneas'']]. The Blakist-aligned WarShips attacked the loyalist WarShips in the system, which were mainly lighter destroyers and corvettes, and which consisted of the ''Eagle''-class [[Gawain|FWLS ''Gawain'']], the ''Impavido''-class [[Janos Marik (Individual Impavido-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Janos Marik'']], the ''[[Zechetinu]]''-class corvette [[Sparta (Individual Zechetinu-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Sparta'']], the ''[[Zechetinu|Zechetinu II]]''-class corvettes [[Acari|FWLS ''Acari'']] and [[Scorpion (Individual Zechetinu-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Scorpion'']] and the ''[[Essex]]''-class destroyer [[Raven (Individual Essex-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Raven'']].<ref name="JTP:ABC">''Jihad Turning Points: Atreus BattleCorps Exclusive Track'', p. 2: "True Colors Revealed"</ref>

The naval battle in the Atreus system was a victory for the Blakist forces; none of the Blakist WarShips were destroyed, although all of them had suffered damage, but of the loyalist forces, only the FWLS ''Acari'' and FWLS ''Raven'' escaped to seek refuge in the [[Duchy of Oriente]].<ref name="JTP:ABC"/>

The ''Impavido'' operated as a part of the Blakist fleet throughout the Jihad; it was subsequently destroyed by a [[Principality of Regulus]] task force in the [[Gibson]] system in [[3078]] alongside another suborned vessel, the ''Eagle''-class [[Bedevere|FWLS ''Bedevere'']].<ref name="J:FRp128">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 128: "Captured Ships"</ref>
