History
The Loyal Son was an Overlord-class DropShip which managed to escape from Black Earth during the conquest of that planet in January 3069 by forces from Clan Jade Falcon. An INN reporter aboard the Loyal Son witnessed the resulting naval battle as the Fredasa-class WarShip Kerensky's Blues, operated by the Blue Star Irregulars, attempted to escort fleeing Irregulars forces and civilians to waiting JumpShips.[1][2] The Loyal Son was able to observe the Kerensky's Blues disabling or driving off the Vincent-class corvette CJF Lightning Strike[2] before being destroyed by a heavier Congress-class Jade Falcon WarShip, which was also responsible for destroying a number of DropShips and JumpShips and butchering the bulk of the fleeing Blue Star Irregulars.[1][2]
