Service history
The Maurya served as a squadron flagship, joining the Yang Fleet at its formation in late 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE). Its first battle was against the 11th Fleet in the Battle of Doria Starzone, where Commodore Nguyen's squadron was instrumenal in cutting the 11th Fleet's formation in two. (LOGH: 'New Trends', 'The Battle of Doria Starzone, And...')
By 798 UC (489 IC / 3598 CE), the Maurya had been repainted with distinctive 'tiger-stripe' livery, and defended Iserlohn Fortress in the Eighth Battle of Iserlohn. Following the victory, Rear Admirals Nguyen and Alarcon led their respective fleets in pursuit of the withdrawing Imperial forces, intending to eliminate the few remaining ships. However, both fleets were destroyed by Imperial reinforcements — the Maurya itself was sunk by the Reuenthal Fleet. (LOGH: 'Determination and Ambition')
