History
The Nightwind was a Potemkin-class cruiser in service with the Lyran Commonwealth as the LCS Nightwind during the First Succession War.[1]
In 2787 the Nightwind acted as the escort WarShip for the Tamar Tigers as they launched a daring deep-penetration raid against the world of Luthien, the capital of the Draconis Combine. The raid involved making a series of challenging jumps before emerging at a jump point in the Luthien system, at which point the Tamar Tigers dropped onto the surface of the planet to attack and destroy a trio of factories. As the Tigers hit their targets the Nightwind attacked and destroyed Luthien's orbital shipyards.[1]
As a consequence of the raid and the resulting psychological damage inflicted the Combine would ensure throughout the remaining Succession Wars that at least four regiments of BattleMechs would be assigned constantly to the defense of Luthien.[1]
The final fate of the Nightwind is unknown, but by the end of the Third Succession War WarShips were effectively extinct within the Inner Sphere, indicating that the Nightwind had been destroyed or somehow otherwise removed from service.
