History[edit]
Constructed by the Terran Hegemony sometime between 2315 and 2691, the WarShip which became known as the Typhon was a Black Lion I-class battle cruiser that served with the Hegemony Armed Forces until it was sold to the Capellan Confederation Navy sometime before 2765[1]
Like most of her class, the Typhon was mothballed until the Terran Hegemony decided to sell the bulk of the remaining ships to the Great Houses during the buildup to the Reunification War, and the Typhon was bought by the Capellan Confederation. While many Black Lion Is were scrapped to reclaim their germanium K-F Drives for other uses, the redesignated CNS Typhon remained in service, and in 2765 was the only ship of her class SLIC knew to be in service with the Confederation. During the First Succession War the Capellan Navy fielded another Black Lion-class vessel, the Zulfiqar but it was not known when or how the Confederation acquired that vessel.[1][2][3]
Just prior to the Amaris Civil War the CNS Typhon was the lead ship of the Capellan Confederation's reserve naval squadron, serving alongside six cruisers - either Aegis-class, Soyal-class or a mix of both - and three lighter WarShips.[2]
