History

As at 3061 the Nightlord-class battleship Ursa Major was serving as the CGB Ursa Major within the Clan Ghost Bear touman as a part of the Ghost Bear flexible naval reserve.[1] The Ursa Major remained an active part of the Ghost Bear touman for the next decade[2] and into the chaos of the Jihad.

Involved in more naval battles during the Jihad than any other WarShip in the Ghost Bear touman, the Ursa Major fought at Luthien, Dyev and Dieron[3] before joining the allied coalition's Operation SCOUR forces in 3078 as a part of Task Force CRONUS. Commanded by Star Admiral Tomoe Gurdel, the Ursa Major was heavily involved in the battle for the Titan Yards, taking substantial damage in the process from both conventional weapons and repeated nuclear capital missile strikes.[4]

Despite the damage taken at Titan the Ursa Major survived the Jihad and continued to serve the Ghost Bears as a part of the naval forces of the Ghost Bear Dominion.[3]
