The DCS Wyrm was a Vigilant-class WarShip in service to the Draconis Combine.

History[edit]

One of the few remaining WarShips in the Inner Sphere after the First Succession War, the Wyrm was deployed in the Combine's attack of Hesperus II in 2853 as part of the nadir jump point blockade fleet.

The Lyran Commonwealth famously reactivated their ancient battlecruiser LCS Invincible to break through the Combine siege. The Wyrm was lost when the Invincible jumped to the Hesperus system's nadir jump point on 25 October 2853 with six military DropShips (the LCS Droner, LCS Hayes, LCS Martina, LCS Pitbull, LCS Stalker, and LCS Ecol) and smashed through the Combine blockade vessels, destroying them all except for the Galedon II.[1][2]
