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')
Design
Resembling a standard Imperial battleship in layout, the Beowulf shares some design similarities with the Tristan, particularly the tapered shape of its forward hull. It features a lighter forward armament than the Tristan, mounting 30 cannons to the Tristan's 36.
