History

The FWLS Vrishabha was a member of the Soyal-class of Heavy Cruisers constructed by the Delhi WarShips.[1] The ship was among the very few of the Soyal-Class which were ordered by the Free Worlds League. The Vrishabha was among the ships ordered by the League's navy due arms build up triggered by Confederation placing an order for their own batch of Soyal Class Ships and it's feared Mass Driver.

The only notable actions of the ship accrued during the early months of 2790, where it was assigned as part of the fleet to capture their Duchy of Andurien's old capital world from the Capellan Confederation. The Vrishabha provided support to the fleet of four Atreus-class battleships and League-Class Destroyers. In the course of the battle, the two Capellan Baron-Class Destroyer were overhwelmed by the League fleet, however before the were taken out, the Vrishabha would be their most notable victim in this battle. The Capellan froces would end up crippling the Heavy Cruiser, causing it to crash on to the surface of the Audurien moon, Mulhacen.[2]
