Service history
The flagship of the 8th Fleet, the Jagannath participated in the Alliance invasion of Imperial territory. With Alliance supply lines cut off, the 8th Fleet was engaged by the Mecklinger Fleet. The Jagannath was struck by enemy fire during the battle. The fleet was able to withdraw and regroup with the remaining Alliance forces at the Battle of Amritsar, where it sustained a direct hit during the attack of the Black Lancers, which engulfed its entire dorsal bow in a large explosion. (DNT: 'The Verge of Death (Part One)', 'The Verge of Death (Part Two)', 'Amritsar')
Design
The Jagannath, 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. Four additional armament emplacements were mounted to the port and starboard side of the upper-half of the vessel's prow. The Jagannath was visually identical to the 10th Fleet flagship, the Gesir Bogdo.
