Service history

The Theodoricus participated in Operation Ragnarok under the direct command of Reinhard von Lohengramm in 799 UC (1 NIC / 490 IC / 3599 CE).

At the Battle of Vermilion, Thurneysen sent his fleet forward into Vice Admiral Brauhitch's forces on the front line, infuriating both Brauhitch and Duke Lohengramm, and giving Fleet Admiral Yang Wen-li the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on both the Brauhitch Fleet and Thurneysen Fleet. The Theodoricus survived this fiasco, and also survived the subsequent encirclement and effective destruction of the majority of the Imperial fleet later in the battle. It was not seen again in subsequent campaigns — probably the consequence of Paul von Oberstein's appraisal of Thurneysen as 'a man to stay away from', an appraisal with which Duke Lohengramm agreed. (LOGH: 'The Battle of Vermilion (Part One)', 'The Battle of Vermilion (Part Two)')

Design

The Theodoricus was a standard Imperial battleship and was distinguished by a crest composed of a grey diamond superimposed over a yellow circle. (LOGH: 'The Battle of Vermilion (Part One)')
