==History==
In September [[2787]], the ''[[Congress]]''-class [[frigate]] [[Tianjin (Individual Congress-class WarShip)|CCS ''Tianjin'']] led a group of Capellan [[WarShip]]s including the ''Ai Di'' in an ambush against [[Free Worlds League]] forces in the [[Corey]] system, striking as the [[Marik Militia]] forces on the planet were in the process of redeploying to attack worlds within the [[Capellan Confederation]]. Striking first at the transport vessels located at the zenith and nadir [[jump point]]s, the ''Tianjin'' and the other ships of her group—four ''Essex''-class [[destroyer]]s including the ''Ai Di'' and four ''[[Vincent (WarShip class)|Vincent]]''-class corvettes—destroyed or captured a number of ships as the [[Free Worlds League Navy]] ships in orbit above the planet began in-system jumps in response.<ref name="FSWp56"/>

== Notes ==
As the Capellan Confederation manufactured large quantities of the ''Essex I'' class destroyer, but could only have acquired the more modern ''Essex II'' via salvage or defection from the [[SLDF]], the ''Ai Di'' was most likely an ''Essex I''-class WarShip, and has been categorised accordingly.<ref name="FR2765:Pp30+">''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', pp. 30–31: "Essex I (Destroyer)"</ref>
