==History==
In September [[2787]], the ''Zulfiqar'' led a group of Capellan [[WarShip]]s in an ambush against [[Free Worlds League]] forces in the [[Wazan]] system, striking as the [[Marik Militia]] forces on the planet were in the process of redeploying to attack worlds within the [[Capellan Confederation]]. Striking first at the transport vessels located at the zenith and nadir [[jump point]]s, the ''Zulfiqar'' and the other ships of her group—four [[destroyer]]s, two each of the ''[[Essex I|Essex]]'' and ''[[Lola III]]'' classes—destroyed or captured a number of ships as the [[Free Worlds League Navy]] ships in orbit above the planet began in-system jumps in response.<ref name="FSWp56">''First Succession War'', p. 56: "Corey and Wazan"</ref>

The [[Terran Hegemony]] sold a number of ''[[Black Lion I]]''-class battlecruisers during the [[Star League era]],<ref name="FR:CC2765p19">''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 19: "Black Lion I (Battle Cruiser")</ref> of which the Capellan Confederation bought and reactivated at least one: the [[CNS Typhon|CNS ''Typhon'']]. Although the class of the ''Zulfiqar'' is given simply as "''Black Lion''," it may well have been an older ''Black Lion I''-class WarShip.<ref name="FR:2765CCAFp5">''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 5: "Guarding the Vault of Heaven"</ref>
