''Mountbatten'' was one of three vessels that took fleeing civilians from Galedon as ''[[isorla]]'' only to subsequently discover that the civilians had brought the [[Curse of Galedon]] with them - an [[Age of War]] bioweapon later identified as [[XCON-73]] that had been unleashed accidentally during an earlier conflict on the planet. Not only were the civilians infected, but XCON-73 was also being carried through the ventilation systems on all three ships. The three infected ships - the ''Mountbatten'', ''Nestling'' and ''Storm Crow'' - were declared as targets of a [[Trial of Annihilation]] by [[Star Admiral]] [[Troy McKenna]], the senior officer amongst the uninfected vessels. The ''Nesting'' immediately vented her holds into space, killing all the civilians aboard, but McKenna's forces pressed the attack; the Captains of all three infected ships fought back, but McKenna's forces prevailed, disabling or destroying all three ships.<ref name="WoRp43"/> ''Mountbatten'' was one of three vessels that took fleeing civilians from Galedon as ''[[isorla]]'' only to subsequently discover that the civilians had brought the [[Curse of Galedon]] with them - an [[Age of War]] bioweapon later identified as [[XCON-73]] that had been unleashed accidentally during an earlier conflict on the planet.
