History

The Congress-class frigate FireCrest (also occasionally spelled Fire Crest or Firecrest) was a WarShip operated by Clan Smoke Jaguar as part of their The Jaguar's Den keshikin 3057. [1]

The FireCrest took part in the attack on Wolcott on 2 October 3050, where it was noted for entering orbit over the world[2] (it was misreported as a Star Lord-class JumpShip, but JumpShips do not usually leave the jump point; it has officially been ruled by the BattleTech developers that the vessel in question must have been the Congress-class Firecrest[3]) but did not partake in the actual battle.

The FireCrest was later captured during Operation Bulldog and was sent from Huntress to Dieron; it never arrived at its destination, however, and its fate is unknown.[4]
