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. It fought in the Battle of Rantemario, the Battle of Mar Adetta Starzone, and the Battle of the Corridor. (LOGH: 'Seeking a Free Universe', LOGH: 'The Two-Headed Snake: The Battle of Rantemario', LOGH: 'The Battle of Marr-Adetta Starzone (Part One)', LOGH: 'The Battle of Marr-Adetta Starzone (Part Two)', LOGH: 'The Battle of the Corridor: The Invincible and the Undefeated')
At the Battle of the Corridor, the Asgrimm and her 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 was killed, at 2325 hours on 29 April, 800 UC (2 NIC / 491 IC / 3600 CE).
