The Andryusha was originally a [[Federated Suns]] [[Rapier (Naval Vessel class)|Rapier-class Patrol Destroyer]], a [[Wet Navy|wet navy]] patrol asset. Liao had three of these ships in service when, in [[3057]], the planet was liberated by Confederation forces during [[Operation GUERRERO]]. In 3065, the Home Guard, wanting to bolster their forces, saw the decommissioned Davion vessels as a means to help in their goal. The first of the three ships was converted into the Andryusha configuration with artillery as its prominent weapon. In a training exercise to evaluate the newly rebuilt ship, the design showed its mettle, however, the ship proved to be vulnerable to air attack. While the LNS ''Nikita'' and its sister ship were put into service, the trio's remaining Rapier sister ship was under consideration to be converted into an aircraft carrier to provide air cover.<ref name=AND>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 164: "Andryusha-class Bombardment Frigate"</ref>
