History

The 'Talbot was a Wolf's Dragoons JumpShip of unknown class. In 3152, it was assigned to accompany Gargoyle, the carrier of the reborn Zeta Battalion, to their raid at Gienah, the Wolf Empire's capital. Talbot carried two Assault DropShips, the Elgrim and Falgrim through uninhabited systems. After leaving behind both DropShips, it jumped to Gienah along with Gargoyle the 29 May 3152. As it had identifications of the Yellow Suns Free Guild, nobody suspected of them. While Gargoyle sent Zeta's DropShips to Gienah, the Talbot jumped back to recover the DropShips.[1]

Talbot was back the 6 June. The only Wolf guardship on the nadir, the Pack Mule didn't suspect their ruse until it was too late, and both Isegrim quickly made short of him, easily taking also the Wolf Tiamat.[2]
