Service history
The Vivasvat participated in the Second Battle of Tiamat. It survived the battle despite being in the thick of the fighting, especially in the first phase of the battle. In 751 UC (442 IC / 3551 CE), Cope commanded Alliance forces during the Battle of Palantia, but peformed poorly leading to a defeat, the destruction of the Vivasvat, and his own death.

Design
The Vivasvat like other Alliance flagships of the era, had a single very large engine section. Its overall proportions and contours were somewhat similar to a smoother upscaled version of the contemporary Alliance standard cruiser. Compared to other flagships, its prow section was proportionally shorter compared to its engine section. Additional armor plating reinforced both sides of the ship.
