History[edit]
The Mississippi Queen was a Vincent-class corvette in service with the Star League Defense Force black water navy as the SLS Mississippi Queen during the Star League Civil War, and was one of 932 SLDF WarShips that made the jump into the Sol system to begin the battle to liberate Terra as a part of Operation LIBERATION.[1]
Of the 932 WarShips that attempted to jump into the Sol system at 16:12 Terran Standard Time on 23 January 2777 from the eight separate systems the SLDF had assembled in, eighteen failed to jump, suffering malfunctions that prevented them from deploying. A further dozen ships suffered damage of varying degrees, but the SLS Mississippi Queen suffered far greater damage than most; the Mississippi Queen had the misfortune of jumping into almost exactly the same spot as the larger Volga-class transport SLS Richardson, with the two vessels interpenetrating as a result. The bow of the SLS Mississippi Queen interpenetrated with the stern of the SLS Richardson, leaving the Mississippi Queen crippled and the Richardson destroyed—although quick thinking on the part of Captain G. T. Garret of the Richardson allowed her to launch all of her DropShips before being destroyed.[1][2]
