History
The Chengdu was WarShip in service with the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces as the CCS Chengdu during the Second Succession War.
In the 2838, the battles for Andurien's jump points were loody with Marik's fixed defenses exacting a high price from the invaders before the installations could be silenced. More than forty aerofighters as well as six assault DropShips perished in the operation, though losses among troop transports were minimal. The CCS Khalzan and the CCS Chengdu participated in the fight, with the CCS Khalzan taking moderate damage, that forced it to underwent repairs at the zenith point while the main flotilla headed in-system.
The arrival of the Atreus-class battleship FWLS Majestic, the Soyal-class heavy cruiser FWLS Kumbha, and their DropShip escorts threw the operation into disarray. A vicious naval battle erupted in low orbit and destroyed almost a fifth of the Liao forces with the remainder survived by heading for the planet during the confused melee.
The CCS Khalzan and the CCS Chengdu perished in the clash, as did the FWLS Majestic. The wreckage of the vessels became a navigation hazard for vessels bound to and from Andurien, finally re-entering the atmosphere and burning up in 2843.[1]
