Service history
The Asgrimm was provided to Admiral Fahrenheit as his flagship following the end of the Lippstadt Rebellion. 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: 'Seeking a Free Universe', 'The Two-Headed Snake: The Battle of Rantemario')
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 800 UC (2 NIC / 491 IC / 3600 CE).(LOGH: 'The Battle of Marr-Adetta Starzone (Part One)', 'The Battle of Marr-Adetta Starzone (Part Two)', 'The Battle of the Corridor: The Invincible and the Undefeated')
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. (LOGH: 'The Battle of the Corridor: The Invincible and the Undefeated')

Background information
The name 'Asgrimm' is probably a reference to the character 'Asgrim' in the Icelandic Njáls saga.
Apocrypha
LaserDisc/DVD appearance differences
The Asgrimm appears briefly in the LaserDisc version of 'Farewell, Distant Memories', 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.
