In {{d|797|uc}} she fought as part of the fleet of High Admiral [[Siegfried Kircheis]] during the Lippstadt Rebellion - the Salamander, [[Barbarossa]] and [[Skirnir]] were teamed together in both campaigns. ({{logh|015}}, {{logh|022}}) The Salamander's most historic action was probably the Imperial assault on Earth against the [[Earth Cult]]. ({{logh|063}}) She suffered heavy damage in the [[Second Battle of Rantemario]], and would narrowly avoid being destroyed by the [[Thor Hammer]] at [[Iserlohn Fortress]] in {{d|801|uc}}. ({{logh|096}}. {{logh|102}}) ==Design== The Salamander resembles the [[Skirnir]] and [[Forseti]] in general construction. The ship's most distinctive feature is a pair of claws on her ventral hull, used to secure the ship to terrain during landing operations. These claws were used in the Wahlen Fleet's assault against Earth, with the Salamander deploying hovercraft mounted armoured troops into the [[Earth Cult]]'s main base within [[Mount Everest]].
