Service history
The Palamedes led the 9th Fleet in the Alliance invasion of Imperial territory in 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE). With Alliance forces suffering from a supply shortage due to Imperial attacks on their supply lines, the 9th Fleet was ambushed at extreme close range by the Mittermeyer Fleet in the Alviss System. The Palamedes was damaged in the opening moments of the battle, causing a cable to fly loose on the ship's bridge, which struck and severely wounded Vice Admirl al-Salem. The Palamedes's final fate is unknown. (LOGH: 'The Battle of Amritsar Starzone')

Background information
The name Palamedes is likely a reference to the Greek mythological figure Palamedes, the son of Nauplius who was ultimately stoned to death by Odysseus and Diomedes. (Palamedes is also the name of a Saracen knight who figures into both Arthurian legend and the tale of Tristan and Isolde. However, this reference would be more fitting for the Galactic Empire given the frequent references to these two mythoi in their vessel names.)
