The Tiamat was a Clan Wolf Invader-class JumpShip.

History[edit]

Operated by the Merchant caste, it was one of the few left behind in the Wolf Empire after Khan Alaric Ward took most of the Wolf touman to participate at the Battle of Terra. It arrived at the nadir jump point of Gienah, the empire's capital. Probably was one of the three encountered there on 29 May 3152, after another JumpShip, the Gargoyle, arrived in the system.[1]

Unknown to everybody, the Gargoyle's identification was a fake one: in reality, they were a ship of Wolf's Dragoons, which was delivering the feared Zeta Battalion. And on 6 June, another JumpShip of Dragoons arrived to clear the nadir jump point, detaching two DropShips, the Elgrim and Falgrim, which made short work of the single defending Wolf unit, the Pack Mule, before joining to attack on the Tiamat.[2]

The Tiamat was quickly boarded by the Dragoons, and it is implied that they took the JumpShip as isorla when departed, after completing their raid.[3]
