Service History
The Königs Tiger's first campaign was the counterattack against the Alliance invasion of Imperial space in 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE). Although Bittenfeld's 'wild boar' command style would bring the elite Black Lancers into grief on more than one occasion, including The Battle of Amritsar Starzone and the Battle of the Corridor, the Königs Tiger was never damaged in any of the battles it participated in between 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE) and 801 UC (3 NIC / 492 IC / 3601 CE), despite Bittenfeld's penchant for leading from the extreme front of his fleet. (LOGH: 'The Battle of Amritsar Starzone', 'The Battle of the Corridor: The Invincible and the Undefeated')
One of the Königs Tiger's most notable actions was as the core of a small unit which charged the El Facil Revolutionary Reserve Force late in the Battle of the Corridor. With high morale and enhanced command and control due to the small size of his force, the attack caused grave harm to Yang Wen-li's ability to resist, by destroying the flagship Shiva and killing Vice Admiral Edwin Fischer. (LOGH: 'The Battle of the Corridor: End of the Campaign')
Design
The Königs Tiger resembles a larger and more heavily armed Imperial High-Speed Battleship.

Background information
The name 'Königs Tiger' is a German phrase which translates literally to 'King's Tiger'. It is a reference either to the World War II-era Tiger II tank, which carried this nickname, or to the German term for the Bengal tiger, after which the tank was named. (It is normally written as one word — 'Königstiger' — in German.)
