Manufactured in the [[Port Sydney Naval Shipyards]] in the [[Alarion]] system, the '''''Katherine Steiner''''' was scheduled to be the fifth ''[[Fox (WarShip class)|Fox]]''-class corvette to enter service with the [[Lyran Alliance Armed Forces]] and was due to enter service as the LAS ''Katherine Steiner'' in [[3066]].<ref name="FM:LAp25">''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 25: "WarShips"</ref> The [[FedCom Civil War]] delayed the completion and launch of the ''Katherine Steiner''; at the end of the Civil War, only four operational ''Foxes'' were in service with the Lyran Alliance: the [[Katrina Steiner (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|LAS ''Katrina Steiner'']], [[Melissa Steiner (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|LAS ''Melissa Steiner'']], [[Robert Kelswa (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|LAS ''Robert Kelswa'']], and [[Robert Marsden (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|LAS ''Robert Marsden'']].

The ''Katherine Steiner'' took part in [[Operation SCOUR]] during the [[Jihad]], forming a part of [[Task Force EARTHBOUND]] during the liberation of [[Terra]] and was one of four ''Foxes'' to serve amidst the twenty-six WarShips of the task force—the other ''Foxes'' being the [[LAS Katrina Steiner|LAS ''Katrina Steiner'']], [[FSS Indomitable|FSS ''Indomitable'']] and [[FSS Admiral Michael Saille|FSS ''Admiral Michael Saille'']].<ref name="JHS:Tp95">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 95: "Classified: Eyes Only - Top Secret"</ref>

The ''Katherine Steiner'' was one of just two Lyran ''Foxes'' to survive the Jihad, the other being the [[Robert Marsden (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|LAS ''Robert Marsden'']], and—given the poor state of repair the venerable ''[[Tharkad (WarShip class)|Tharkad]]''-class battlecruiser [[Invincible (Individual Tharkad-class WarShip)|LAS ''Invincible'']] was in at the time—one of only three combat-effective WarShips left to the Alliance.<ref name="FR:LAAFp6">''Field Report: LAAF'', p. 6: "Off The Edge of the Map"</ref>

''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' lists the LAS ''Katherine Steiner'' as being in service with the [[Lyran Alliance Armed Forces]] in 3067, and the LAS ''Katrina Steiner'' as still being under construction. This contradicts ''[[Field Manual: Lyran Alliance]]'' and the ''[[FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)|FedCom Civil War sourcebook]]'' which list the ''Katrina Steiner'' as the first ''Fox'' to be manufactured at the Port Sydney Naval Shipyards and as having fought during the Civil War. For this article, it has been assumed that ''Field Manual: Updates'' is in error.
