Service history
The flagship of the 12th Fleet, the Cernunnos participated in the Alliance invasion of Imperial territory. With Alliance supply lines cut off, the 12th Fleet was engaged by the Lutz Fleet. Bombarded with long range fire and with 80% of the fleet immobilised, Vice Admiral Borodin committed suicide. Contact with the 12th Fleet was lost.(DNT: 'The Verge of Death (Part One)', 'The Verge of Death (Part Two)')
Design
The Cernunnos, like most Alliance flagships, was a modified version of the Alliance's standard battleship design. As with the majority of Alliance flagships, key distinguishing features were the four antennae protruding from the dorsal, ventral, port and starboard side of the rear hull. It carried substantially heavier forward armament than a standard battleship, and were further distinguishable by its curved bow and additional armament emplacements protruding from either side of the dorsal hull, ahead of the bridge. The Cernunnos was visually identical to the 6th Fleet flagship, the Pergamonn.
