Service history
Flagship of the Lutz Fleet, the Herðubreið's first campaign was the counterattack against the Free Planets Alliance's invasion of Imperial space in 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE) - engaging and defeating the 12th Fleet. It then rejoined with all of Fleet Admiral Lohengramm's forces in the Battle of Amritsar Starzone. In 797 UC (488 IC / 3597 CE) the Herðubreið led the Lutz Fleet as part of the fleet of High Admiral Siegfried Kircheis during the Imperial Civil War alongside the Wahlen Fleet. (DNT: 'The Verge of Death (Part Two)', 'Amritsar', 'Tragedy')
Design
Like most Imperial flagships, the Herðubreið's design resembled a standard Imperial battleship in layout. The Herðubreið's most prominent design feature was its large forward weapons emplacement, from which it could fire high-output energy blasts.
