First Mjolnir-class battlecrusier completed, the Yggdrasil was also notable for being among few Lyran Alliance/Lyran Commonwealth WarShips to survive the Word of Blake Jihad.
History
The first Mjolnir to be completed, the LAS Yggdrasils predelivery trials were expedited at Archon Katherine Steiner-Davion's request and the vessel was deemed fit for service in July 3062. The politically mandated haste in those trials led to doubts in the Alliance Navy about the Yggdrasil's reliability, with minor problems with the sensor suite and jumpsail reefing assembly discovered. As of December 3062, the Yggdrasil current location was unknown even to Heimdall.[1] [2]
Captured by Clan Wolf-in-Exile forces during the FedCom Civil War, the Yggdrasil briefly entered service as the CWS Winter Wolf[3], but was returned to the Lyran Alliance once the scale of repairs needed became clear. The ship was one of eight vessels survived the FedCom Civil War and in service by the LAAF in 3067.[4]
The Yggdrasil jumped for Alarion, but the ship never arrived. Later took part in the liberation of Tharkad during the Jihad. [5] The Yggdrasil was mothballed in orbit of Hesperus II during the Republic era but was reactivated and loaned to the Stormhammers splinter faction during the Falcon desant on Skye. The Yggdrasil dueled the Jade Falcon Nightlord-class Emerald Talon and barely survived during the Falcons' second and ultimately successful attempt to conquer Skye.
