The Van Gogh was a Luxor-class heavy cruiser in service with the Star League Defense Force during and prior to the Amaris Civil War.
History[edit]
The SLS Van Gogh has the distinction of being the last ship of her class to remain in service; the SDS networks deployed around various suborned worlds in the Terran Hegemony recognized the Luxor-class vessels as a serious threat, frequently targeting them as a priority. Such was the case with the Van Gogh; having survived a decade or more of active warfare, the Van Gogh was one of the Star League WarShips involved in the attack to liberate Terra.[1]
The Van Gogh was close to Luna when it was attacked by three squadrons of M-3 Drones which had launched from a hidden hangar on the surface of the moon. The M-3 Drones had already torn through the Van Gogh's escort contingent, which consisted of several assault DropShips and a pair of Vincent-class corvettes, before attacking the Van Gogh; the Van Gogh managed to destroy a number of the drones, but was lost after several of the M-3s deliberately rammed her.[1]
