In August of [[2788]] the ''Majestic'' was part of a naval flotilla of Marik WarShips sent into the Capellan Confederation as retribution for [[Task Force Devlin]]'s overwhelming assault on [[New Delos]]. The Marik Naval Taskforce consisted of ''Majestic''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s sister ship ''[[Katana (Individual Atreus-class WarShip|Kanata]]'', [[League (WarShip class)|''League''-class destroyers]] [[Andria (Individual League-class WarShip)|''Andria'']] and [[Avellino (Individual League-class WarShip)|''Avellino'']], and two highly modified [[Carrack|Carrack-class transports]] which served as aerospace carriers. Carrying out its orders, the ''Majestic''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s task force firebombed the cities of [[New Canton]] as part of House Marik's revenge.<ref name="FSWp58">''First Succession War'', p. 58: "Raising the Ante: Liao’s Response / Fallout - The Majestic's actions noted."</ref>

=== Second Succession War ===
The last noted action of the ''Majestic'' was during the defense of [[Andurien]] in October [[2838]]. A Liao invasion consisting of a number of regiments and WarShips tried to retake the planet. The ''Majestic'', by this time, was among the last of the Marik WarShip fleet. It and three other survivors made a strong defense of the Andurien star system.  Liao forces were first bloodied at both of the planet's jump points.  The ''Majestic'', along with the ''[[Soyal]]''-class heavy cruiser, [[Kumbha (Individual Soyal-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Kumbha'']], arrived in orbit as Liao ground troops proceeded to make their landings. The ''Majestic'' and its allied forces was able to destroy a fifth of the Liao landing forces before they made their way to the surface. In the course of the battle, two Liao WarShips were lost in the engagement with the Marik fleet. However, the battle over Andurien would eventually result in the ''Majestic'''s destruction. The ship's wreckage remained in orbit until [[2843]], when it finally burned up in the planet's atmosphere after being a navigation hazard for aerospace craft making their way to and from the planet.<ref name="SSWp50-51">''Second Succession War'', pp. 50–51: "The Battles for the Andurien"- The ''Majestic'''s known actions during the war and its destruction</ref>
