History

In March 2785 the League-class destroyer FWLS Tyberium was one of four Free Worlds League WarShips assigned to the defense of Bolan, serving alongside two sister ships, the FWLS Talwar and the FWLS Turk and the Aegis-class heavy cruiser FWLS Manaslu under the overall command of Colonel Salam Tutt of the Sixth Bolan Defenders. It was in early March that the Lyran Commonwealth launched an invasion of Bolan, deploying at least three regiments of BattleMechs escorted by eight Mako-class corvettes and four Commonwealth-class cruisers. The Lyrans split their forces, with one half arriving at the zenith jump point and the other half arriving three days out from Bolan via a LaGrange point.[1]

The first WarShip engagement of the invasion came when the Tyberium and her two sister ships engaged the first Lyran task group, damaging two Makos and forcing them to retreat, as well as nearly destroying a third Mako before the heavier Commonwealths were able to force the three destroyers to withdraw back to orbit. The first Lyran group managed to successfully land its ground forces and then engaged in a game of cat-and-mouse with the four Free worlds League WarShips until the second Lyran group arrived above Bolan, having burned into orbit from the zenith jump point. All four Free Worlds League WarShips engaged the Lyran WarShips at this point, destroying two Makos and forcing a Commonwealth to retreat, but during the engagement both the Manaslu and the Tyberium were crippled.[1]
