Built during the Star League, the ship saw its most famous actions long after that golden era.
During "Operation Odysseus", the Word of Blake conquest of Terra in 3058, the ship was commanded by Commodore Alain Beresick of the ComGuard navy. Stationed at Luyten 68-28, Beresick and his crew successfully repulsed the Deliverance, an Essex-class Blakist vessel.
When Task Force Serpent, a bold strike against the Clan Smoke Jaguar homeworld of Huntress was conceived, Beresick and the Invisible Truth were a natural choice to serve as flagship. During the long voyage, the fleet ran across a convoy of ships from Clan Ghost Bear. The Inner Sphere taskforce fleet successfully defeated the Ghost Bears with minimal damage. The engagement was later named Trafalgar.
At Huntress, the Invisible Truth and its accompanying ships were successful in destroying the Jaguars' orbital defenders, and the initial invasion of the ground forces was a success. However the ship was driven away from the planet when the Jaguars' reinforcements arrived.
Much later in late 3067, the Invisible Truth served not only as the flagship for the ComGuard, but was also the headquarters for Precentor Martial Victor Ian Steiner-Davion, as well as his eventual wife, Isis Marik. The two were able to flee the attack on Tharkad at the close of the Fourth Whitting Conference, and it served them well during the early years of the Jihad. It also survived Case White, Comstar's failed attempt to retake Terra in 3068.
Selected as the commandship of Taskforce EARTHBOUND, the Operation SCOUR assault on the orbital defenses around Terra, Invisible Truth came under heavy attack from a Naga-class WarShip before it encountered Beresick's former friend and Blakist counterpart Gregory Zwick in command of the Blakist flagship, the Farragut-class WoBS Righteous Justice. Beresick declined his friend's offer of surrender, the pair's personal conflict ended as the Invisible Truth went down guns blazing, torn apart by the Blakist forces. [1]
Ship Notes
Although not explicitly stated, we may assume the Invisible Truth received the same modifications as the other Cameron class ships received, correcting the various design flaws from the vessel's construction.
