History[edit]
Commanded by Admiral William Hopcroft, a staunch Davionist among the self-exiled SLDF fleet, the Michael Norman wound up in the Pentagon Civil War. On 8 October 2802, it moved to intercept two Liao-aligned WarShips under Commodore Amanda Noskeau, the Long March Congress-class frigate and the Noble House Congress-class frigate, who were trying to capture mothballed WarShips from a cache in the Arcadia system. In the ensuing battle, the two sides destroyed each other. All three vessels were crippled in the fight and then suffered fatal collisions with asteroids.[1]
