The Rosslare was one of six Faslane-class Yardships constructed in secret between 2882 and 2949 by ComStar.[1]
History[edit]
In 3062, the CSV Rosslare was reported to be operating independently of the ComStar fleet, on detached duty alongside its sister ship the CSV Glamorgan, and operating out of the Columbus Deep Periphery station in support of Explorer Corps operations.[2] The CSV Rosslare remained in service with ComStar as of 3067,[3] but was destroyed in December 3068 when Word of Blake WarShips attacked Columbus.[4][5][6][7]
Notes[edit]
- The vessels of the Faslane class appear to all be named for cities or regions of the United Kingdom.
- The Rosslare is occasionally misspelled as Roslare. It has been confirmed though that the correct spelling of the name is indeed "Rosslare," after the Irish port. (As officially confirmed in this reply on the BattleTech Forum in the "Ask the Writers" section by Chris Hartford: "They should be Rosslare (named for the Irish port) and Glamorgan (named for the Welsh county)."
