History
The Thera-class carrier Sardis was under construction in 3059 and was due to enter service with the Free Worlds League black water navy in 3062, becoming the second-of-class vessel of her class, following the earlier FWLS Santorini. Also under construction at the time were a pair of Eagle-class frigates intended to serve as escorts for the Sardis, the FWLS Bedevere and FWLS Tristram.[1]
In April 3063 the '"Sardis was part of an unauthorized rescue of Kristen's Krushers from the Lyran Alliance world of Arcadia.[2]
All three ships were still serving together in 3067.[3] The Sardis was suborned by the Word of Blake and would fight in their service until the battle for Dieron in 3077;[4] Clan Snow Raven forces in the system managed to capture the Sardis, which they later brought into service as a part of their touman under the name SRS Raven's Nest.[5] Both of the escort vessels to the Sardis were suborned by the Blakists as well; one, the Tristram, was destroyed in the same battle at Dieron that saw the Sardis captured; the other, the Bedevere, went on to fight for the Blakists at Gibson where she was destroyed in 3078.[4]
Having survived the Jihad, the Raven's Nest was one of the WarShips to be reactivated by the Snow Ravens during the Dark Age. In 3145 the Raven's Nest was a part of the Conqueror Naval Star, which consisted of the Raven's Nest, the Conqueror-class carrier Conqueror, the Cameron-class battlecruiser Kerensky's Hope, the Sovetskii Soyuz-class Storm Crow and the Aegis-class heavy cruiser Lord Death.[6] As part of the Conqueror Naval Star in 3145 the Raven's Nest was operating from Kirbyville as part of Beta Galaxy.[7]
