History
The SLS Lakshmi was an Avatar-class[1] Star League Defense Force WarShip commissioned in ca. 2574. Commander Theodore Rasmusen took it "off the builder's slip" and would command it for seven years[2], until the Star League offensive to capture the Taurian Concordat world of Flintoft during the Reunification War. There, the SLS Lakshmi was lost with nearly all of its crew when the Taurians used "fire ships" against it[2] loaded with nuclear weapons and other explosives, crippling or destroying 16 SLDF WarShips.
Commodore Rasmusen survived the destruction of the SLS Lakshmi and went on to command the Aegis-class SLS Minotaur, seeing action later in the Reunification War.[2]
Notes
According to Historical: Reunification War, the battle for Flintoft began on the 15th of March 2581 and that the SLDF naval formation involved in the attack was the First Battle Fleet.[3].
