History[edit]

In April 2765, the TCS Pleiades was the flagship of the commanding officer of the navy of the Taurian Concordat, Marshal Amber Lynn Dyness.[1] Marshal Dyness was ninety-four years old at the time and she and the Pleiades were a common sight at the Vandenberg Shipyards, which were located in orbit above the ninth planet in the New Vandenberg system, a gas giant named Lompoc. In addition to being a functioning shipyard, the Vandenberg Shipyards were also home to a Taurian Naval Institute training station, and the Pleiades both resupplied at the shipyards and oversaw training activities.[2]

Notes[edit]

The class of the TCS Pleiades is unknown, but based upon the various WarShip classes in service with the Taurian navy at the time, the Pleiades was either a Lola II-class destroyer, Dart-class light cruiser, Pinto-class corvette, Vincent Mk. 39-class corvette, or Concordat-class frigate.[1] A single Wagon Wheel-class frigate was also in service with the Taurian navy at the time,[1] but has been confirmed to be the TCS Merope.[3]
