Service history
The Bang-goo led its fleet in the Alliance dispatch against an Imperial expedition in February 795 UC (486 IC / 3595 CE) along with the 5th Fleet and 11th Fleet. It also participated in the the Alliance invasion of Imperial territory in 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE). When the Imperial counterattack began, the 10th Fleet was attacked and eventually encirlced by the Black Lancers at planet Lügen. After taking significant casualties, Vice Admiral Ulanhu managed to achieve a breakthrough and save the remnants of his fleet, holding the Bang-goo back as long as possible to ensure as many damaged ships got away first. Ordering his fleet to launch all remaining missiles, the Bang-goo's missile launcher deployed and began to fire. However, enemy cannon fire struck the missile launcher within seconds, causing a catastrophic explosion. Vice Admiral Ulanhu was killed, and the Bang-goo broke up and exploded soon after.
