{{InfoBoxIndividualSpacecraft | image = | vesselname = Vision of Truth | prevname = | type = [[WarShip]] | class = [[Potemkin]] | prevclass = | servicesince = | serviceuntil = [[3068]] }} ==History== The '''''Vision of Truth''''' was a ''[[Potemkin]]''-class [[WarShip]] maintained by [[ComStar]]. In [[3062]] she was a part of the [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[1st Fleet (ComStar)|First Fleet]], operating from the [[ComStar]] fleet base at [[Luyten 68-28]].<ref name="FM:CSp44">''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 44, "The WarShip Fleet"</ref> While en route to the [[Tukayyid]] system the ''Vision of Truth'' suffered a mainspace fire following a reactor explosion on 19 April [[3065]]. It is unknown if the true reason for the explosion (sabotage) was discovered; in any case, the perpetrator remained unknown.<ref name=BoCB>''The Breaking of Chemical Bonds''</ref> The ship remained in service with ComStar as of [[3067]].<ref name="FM:Up83">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 83, "ComStar Naval Assets"</ref> The ''Vision of Truth'' took part in [[Case White (event)|Case White]], ComStar's ill-fated attack on [[Terra]], in March [[3068]]. During this operation, the ComStar ships suffered from treachery and sabotage. The saboteur from three years earlier managed to plant another explosive charge to one of the ship's reactors and detonate it.<ref name=BoCB/> A friendly vessel, the ''[[Swift Justice (Individual Aegis-class WarShip)|Swift Justice]]'', fired a broadside into the ''Vision of Truth'' shortly before being apparently disabled herself by three internal explosions.<ref name="DOTJp89+">''Dawn of the Jihad'', pp. 89, 91, "Case White Underway!"</ref> This happened shortly after an explosion (likely the aforementioned act of sabotage) took out the number two engine on the ''Vision of Truth'' in what may or may not have been a concerted action.<ref name=STD>''Stars in the Time of Dreaming''</ref> Following these combined events which caused heavy damage including explosive decompression to parts of the ship, the ''Vision of Truth'' lost power and was adrift, rapidly dropping towards Terra and considered "dead in the water" by a comm tech who had survived until that point.<ref name=STD/> Although the exact fate of the ''Vision of Truth'' is not stated, it is heavily implied that it broke up over Terra, forming at least part of the rain of falling stars that could be observed from Tasmania around 0430 hours (GMT +11) on 14 March 3068.<ref name=STD/> Conversely, there is no record of the ship either being salvaged by the [[Word of Blake]]<ref name="J:FRp128">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 128, "Word of Blake Naval Assets"</ref> or having survived until [[3076]].<ref name="M&Mp211">''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 211, "The Com Guard: Key Military Commands"</ref> == Notes == *All ComStar WarShips that had participated in Case White, save for the ''[[Invisible Truth]]'', were listed missing and presumed destroyed,<ref name="DOTJp89+"/> although the Word of Blake were later discovered to have salvaged and restored the ''[[Congress]]''-class frigate ''[[Hollings York (Congress)|Hollings York]]'' and the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser ''[[Righteous Fury (Individual Aegis-class WarShip)|Righteous Fury]]'' to active service in their fleet by [[3076]]<ref name="J:FRp128"/> and a further three former ComStar WarShips - the ''[[Essex]]''-class destroyer [[Deathblow|WoBS ''Deathblow'']], the ''[[Dante (WarShip class)|Dante]]''-class frigate [[Narbonne|WoBS ''Narbonne'']] and the ''[[Suffren]]''-class destroyer [[Manchester|WoBS ''Manchester'']] - were all undergoing repairs and operational enough to participate in the Blakist defense of Terra in [[3078]].<ref name=JHST-97>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 97-99</ref> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[The Breaking of Chemical Bonds]]'' * ''[[Dawn of the Jihad]]''/''[[Blake Ascending]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: ComStar]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers]]'' * ''[[Stars in the Time of Dreaming]]'' [[Category: Individual WarShips]] [[Category: Individual Cruisers]] [[Category: Individual Potemkin-class WarShips]]
