Its first campaign was [[Operation Ragnarok]]. At the [[Battle of Rantemario]], the Asgrim was caught in an energy current whilst trying to get behind the Alliance fleet, and focused on long range bombardment for the remainder of the battle. ({{logh|047|048}}) Following the start of the [[Second FPA-Imperial War]], the Asgrimm fought at the [[Battle of Mar-Adetta Starzone]], and the [[Battle of the Corridor]]. At the Battle of the Corridor, the Asgrimm and its powerful main weapon proved instrumental in ensuring the escape of the [[Black Lancers]] and the Fahrenheit Fleet from encirclement and annihilation at the hands of Yang Wen-li. In the process of supporting the fleet's retreat, the ship was destroyed, and High Admiral Fahrenheit killed, at 23:25 on 29 April {{d|800|uc}}.({{logh|071|072|079}}) ==Design== In addition to its armament of cannons and missiles, the Asgrimm was armed with a heavy, double-barrelled beam weapon concealed in its prow. The firing sequence and characteristics of the beam closely resemble the [[Thor Hammer]] and [[Vulture's Claw]]. This heavy weapon was capable of wide destructive effects.

[[File:Asgrim_removal.jpg|thumb|right|190px|LaserDisc (left) vs DVD (right) appearances]] ===Apocrypha=== ====LaserDisc/DVD appearance differences==== The Asgrimm appears briefly in the LaserDisc version of {{e|026}}, in the scene showing several of Reinhard's admirals (including Fahrenheit) leaving [[Geiersburg Fortress]] for [[Odin]]. The ship was removed from later releases of this episode, presumably because its appearance constituted a continuity error. [[Category:Imperial ships]]
