History

One of many WarShips to be disabled and abandoned or lost during the Star League era or the early Succession Wars, the Aegis-class heavy cruiser later known as the Herald of Justice was one of a number of ships recovered by the Word of Blake[1] and restored to working order in secret.[2]

The WoBS Herald of Justice was one of eight Aegis-class cruisers to serve in the Blakist fleet during the Jihad;[1] prior to the Jihad, the only Aegis known to be operating within the Blakist black water navy was the WoBS Immortal Spirit,[2] but the Word of Blake had secretly recovered three additional Aegis-class heavy cruisers from sites around the Inner Sphere such as the abandoned Star League Defense Force facility known as the Ruins of Gabriel and restored them to operational status. These three Aegis were the Herald of Justice, the WoBS Herald of Retribution and the WoBS Herald of Wisdom.[1]

The Herald of Justice was destroyed in the New Avalon system in 3068, making her one of the first two Blakist Aegis-class cruisers to be lost in action as her sister ship Herald of Wisdom was destroyed that same year during Case WHITE.[1]
