Commanded by [[Admiral]] [[William Hopcroft]], a staunch [[House Davion|Davionist]] among the self-exiled [[SLDF]] fleet, the ''Michael Norman'' wound up in the [[Pentagon Civil War]]. On 8 October [[2802]] it moved to intercept two [[House Liao|Liao]]-aligned [[WarShip]]s under [[Commodore]] [[Amanda Noskeau]], the ''[[Long March]]'' and the ''[[Noble House]]'', who were trying to capture mothballed WarShips from a cache in the [[Arcadia (Clan)|Arcadia system]]. In the ensuing battle, the two sides destroyed each other. All three vessels were crippled in the fight and then suffered fatal collisions with asteroids.
