History

As at November 3067 the Lola III-class destroyer Hunter was a WarShip within the Clan Nova Cat touman and as such was serving the Second Star League as the SLS Hunter as a part of the Nova Cat merchant fleet.[1]

In 3078 the NCS Hunter served as a part of Task Force EARTHBOUND, the WarShip flotilla responsible for clearing the naval defenses around Terra as a part of the allied coalition efforts to capture the planet from the Word of Blake,[2] and was one of only two Nova Cat WarShips to survive the Jihad.[3]

After the establishment of the Republic of the Sphere the Hunter joined the Republic's small WarShip fleet and was renamed the Triumphus.[4]

Note

In 2990 the Nova Cats traded three of their Carrack-class merchant vessels with their holds full of supplies to Clan Star Adder in exchange for three Lola III-class destroyers. It is possible - but not certain - that the Hunter was one of the Lola III-class ships acquired as a result of this trade.[5]
