Haruna (Individual Kyushu-class WarShip)

History

The DCS Haruna was a Kyushu-class WarShip operated by the Draconis Combine and one of the force elements contributed to Task Force Serpent in 3059 by the Combine. The DCS Haruna would participate in what became known as the Battle of Trafalgar against forces from Clan Ghost Bear in the Deep Periphery on the 15th of December 3059.

On the 5th of March 3060 the DCS Haruna and the other WarShips within Task Force Serpent engaged in battle with two Vincent Mk 42-class corvettes and a Sovetskii Soyuz-class heavy cruiser above the Clan Smoke Jaguar planet of Huntress. The Haruna survived this battle, and was then embroiled in a second battle against Smoke Jaguar naval forces above Huntress on the 19th of March. This time, Task Force Serpent was fighting Smoke Jaguar forces retreating from Operation Bulldog in the Inner Sphere; the Task Force faced two more Vincent Mk 42 class corvettes and a powerful Liberator-class heavy cruiser, and the Haruna was one of the Task Force ships that, while damaged, survived the engagement and remained battle-ready.
