History

As of early 3059, the Sparta was due to be the fourth Zechetinu-class corvette to be launched by the Free Worlds League and was undergoing somewhat problematic trials in the Simpson Desert system. Manufactured at the Illium Shipyards in the Ionus system, the Sparta had encountered a number of problems during her shakedown trials; Captain Ahmed Pervez, a very senior naval engineer, was the officer responsible for taking the Sparta through her trials, and the engineering staff aboard became concered over stress indications found on a number of major bulkheads. As a result it was considered very likely that the Sparta would return to the shipyards at Ionus for further work before entering active service as the FWLS Sparta under the command of Captain Roberto Gheorghiu.[1]

By 3067 the Sparta had been in service for the better part of a decade and was one of four corvettes of her class and manufacturing block known to be on active service, serving alongside the FWLS Attica, FWLS Karelia and FWLS Tirana.[2]
