Service history
Flagship of the Mittermeyer Fleet, the Beowulf's first campaign was the counterattack against the Free Planets Alliance's invasion of Imperial space in 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE) - engaging the 9th Fleet. It would go on to participate in the Battle of Amritsar. (DNT: 'The Verge of Death (Part Two)', 'Amritsar')
Imperial Civil War
The Beowulf served at the forefront of Lohengramm's campaign against the Lippstadt League in the Imperial Civil War in 797 UC (488 IC / 3597 CE), including defeating the fleet of Admiral Staden, and spearheading the effort to capture Rentenberg Fortress. (DNT: 'Bloodshed in Space')
Design
Resembling the standard general layout of an Imperial battleship, the Beowulf' is nonetheless a distinct design. The Beowulf shares some design similarities with the Tristan, particularly the tapered shape of its forward hull, and a substantial number of elevated (though different) box-type weapons emplacements positioned about the dorsal hull. It features a lighter forward armament than the Tristan, mounting 30 cannons to the Tristan's 36.
