The resulting battle saw the ''Intrepid'' disabled and the ''Admiral Corinne Donnings'' destroyed in the first part of the battle. The ''Kentares'' would maneuvere into close proximity to the ''Alexander Davion'' and would execute a tactic that shocked both sides: the ''Kentares'' activated its [[K-F Drive]], destroying both ships.<ref name="EG??"/> The ''Kentares'' and the ''Alexander Davion'' were destroyed in the final phase of the battle. The ''Lucien Davion'' surrendered after taking heavy damage and the ''Murmansk'' executed a jump from a pirate jump point, vanishing into the unknown.<ref name="FCCWp170"/>

The FSS ''Lucien Davion'' served as the flagship of Princess-Regent [[Yvonne Steiner-Davion]] and [[Tancred Sandoval]] from [[3068]] to [[3076]]. The WarShip was moved into orbit over [[New Avalon]] as a permanent naval garrison by order of the Princess-Regent after battle 3076.<ref name=FM:Up124>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 124 </ref>

==Destruction==
During the [[Palmyra Disaster]] in 3144, the Lucien Davion was destroyed. First Prince Caleb Davion ordered the WarShip to maintain a low-earth geosynchronous orbit directly over his command. That order placed the ship in a poor position to respond to an attack and was vulnerable to attack from a higher altitude. The WarShip was destroyed by a concentrated attack of [[McFadden's Sky Storm]], leaving all of the staged AFFS units trapped on Palmyra's surface. The AFFS units on the surface were destroyed by the Combine's [[Pocket WarShips]] orbital bombardment and the following planetary assault.<ref name=FM:3145p21/><ref name=ER:3145p34>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 34</ref>
