Service history
The Barbarossa first saw action in Reinhard von Lohengramm's campaign to defeat the Alliance's invasion of Imperial space in 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE), leading the Kircheis Fleet against the 7th Fleet and subsequently the 13th Fleet in the Dverger System. When the remnants of the Alliance fleet regrouped at Amritsar, the Barbarossa attacked the fleet from their rear at the head of 30,000 ships (together with the Lutz Fleet and Wahlen Fleet), using its main guns to ignite the zephyr particles dispersed on Vice Admiral Kircheis' orders, and clearing a path through the Alliance minefield. (LOGH: 'The Battle of Amritsar Starzone')
The Barbarossa's final campaign would be against the Lippstadt Alliance in the Imperial Civil War in 797 UC (488 IC / 3597 CE), leading the campaign to pacify rebel star systems whilst Reinhard von Lohengramm personally attended to the conquest of Geiersberg Fortress. In the major battle of that campaign, the 40,000 ships of the Kircheis Fleet, Lutz Fleet and Wahlen Fleet fought a fleet of 50,000 enemy ships under the command of Maquis Littenheim at the Kifeuser System. In the course of the battle, Kircheis took the Barbarossa at the head of a mere 800 ships and cut through the enemy formation, throwing the enemy fleet into confusion and causing Littenheim to retreat. (LOGH: 'Courage and Loyalty')
Decommissioning
The Barbarossa was decommissioned after Kircheis's death. It was left permanently moored next to the Brünhild on Odin. (LOGH: 'Lost Things')
