History

The Khalzan was a destroyer of either the Essex or Lola III class in service with the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces as the CCS Khalzan during the First Succession War. In September 2787 the Khalzan was one of group of Capellan WarShips that mounted an ambush against Free Worlds League forces in the Wazan system, striking as the Marik Militia forces on the planet were in the process of redeploying to attack worlds within the Capellan Confederation. Striking first at the transport vessels located at the zenith and nadir jump points, the Khalzan and the other ships of her group—two Essex and two Lola IIIs led by the Black Lion-class battlecruiser CCS Zulfiqar—destroyed or captured a number of ships as the Free Worlds League Navy ships in orbit above the planet began in-system jumps in response.[1]

The League WarShips—the battleship FWLS Ragusa and a pair of Lola I-class destroyers, the FWLS Minsck and FWLS Warsaw—were destroyed by the Khalzan and the other Capellan WarShips, but not before the Khalzan had taken enough damage to cause her to be scuttled.[1]
