The Potemkin-class cruiser Armageddon was a WarShip within the Clan Hell's Horses touman.

History

As of 3059, the CHH Armageddon served alongside two sister vessels of the same class, the CHH Blood Horse and the CHH Steel Shield.[1] The Armageddon would continue to be an active part of the touman throughout the next decade.[2]

Shortly before the outbreak of the Jihad, the Armageddon and the Hell's Horses flagship, the Cameron-class battlecruiser CHH Sleipnir, were responsible for crippling the Clan Goliath Scorpion Potemkin-class CGS Epimetheus during a trial fought over the Tokasha MechWorks and surrounding facilities.[3]

After the Jihad, the Armageddon was one of only five Hell's Horses WarShips confirmed to still be in service in the Inner Sphere.[4]

In 3145, the Armageddon was one of three WarShips available to the Hell's Horses.[5]

In 3151, the Armageddon participated on the first stages of Operation STAMPEDE, attacking the Falcon's world of Shaula. Later it was part of a convoy traveling to Terra, but the IlClan envoy Enzi Kerensky only allowed a Horses' WarShip to go to Terra. The Armageddon was forced to stay on Rigil Kentarus.[6]
