History
The Fox-class corvette Murmansk was was in service with the Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth in 3062[1] but during the FedCom Civil War the crew of the Murmansk chose to support Archon Katherine Steiner-Davion.[2]
Surviving until the closing stages of the Civil War, the FCS Murmansk joined two Avalon-class cruisers, the FCS Lucien Davion and FCS Alexander Davion,[2] and another loyalist Fox, the FCS Antrim,[3] in the defense of New Avalon in November 3066 against the task force led by Victor Steiner-Davion.[2]
The attacking forces were led by the Avalon-class FCS Melissa Davion and no less than four Foxes[2] - the FCS Admiral Corinne Donnings, FCS Kentares, FCS Intrepid and FCS Robinson[3] and the result was an hour-long naval battle that saw three WarShips destroyed[2] (the Alexander Davion, Admiral Corinee Donnings and Kentares[3]) and two Loyalist ships - including the Lucien Davion - captured.[2]
Although nominally listed as still being in service with the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns in late 3067[4] the Murmansk had actually jumped away from New Avalon via a pirate point in the closing stages of the naval battle and vanished without trace.[2]
