History
The CCS Zhejiang was an Impavido-class WarShip operated by the Capellan Confederation. In 3069 the Zhejiang was escorting a Capellan strike force tasked with assaulting New Syrtis when the strike force was hit by the mercenary unit known as The Medusans in a deep-space ambush. The Medusans conducted a fast, slashing attack using DropShips and at least one Pocket WarShip, destroying a Capellan Leopard and a Triumph.[1]
The presence of the Zhejiang with the strike force was evidently a surprise to the mercenaries and the Zhejiang soon engaged the ambushers, destroying the Intruder-class Ambuscade and damaging a number of the other Medusan ships, some significantly enough that they would require months of repair work in a dedicated shipyard. The Medusans inflicted damage on the Zhejiang in turn, including a number of telling blows; while this damage wasn't enough to destroy the Zhejiang during the ambush, it was a contributing factor in the eventual destruction of the Zhejiang during the Capellan retreat from New Syrtis several months later.[1]
