History
Constructed in 2944, the Bordeaux was the second of class of the Dante-class WarShip[1] and in 3062 was a part of the Com Guard First Fleet, operating from the ComStar fleet base at Luyten 68-28.[2] The CSV Bordeaux remained in service with ComStar as of 3067,[3] an on the 1st of August 3068, the Bordeaux ran the Blakist blockade of Tukayyid. Personnel from the 104th Division were able to rescue Primus Sharilar Mori and some senior ComGuard officers from the planet before the Bordeaux returned ComStar's leader to Orestes, reportedly only suffering minor damage during the rescue.[4][5]
In the first week of November 3068, the Bordeaux was defending Orestes when Blakist forces attacked the planet. The Bordeaux was badly damaged, although ground troops were able to drive off the Word's forces.[6][7] The Bordeaux took part in the liberation of Chara in 3077,[8] but was later destroyed in action in the Luyten system.[9]
Notes
The destruction of all three ComStar Dante class vessels was confirmed by BattleTech Devloper Øystein Tvedten in the Catalyst Game Lab BattleTech forums:
| “ | No ComStar Dantes were captured by the Word of Blake. Bordeaux died at Luyten, Monpellier (sic) at Columbus, and Narbonne bit it during Case White. | ” |
