History
In service with the Loyalist forces during the FedCom Civil War, the Avalon-class cruiser Lucien Davion fought in the final naval engagement in the New Avalon system on the 8th of November 3066. Fighting alongside the Lucien Davion was a sister ship, the Alexander Davion [1] and a pair of Fox-class corvettes, the FCS Antrim[2] and FCS Murmansk.[1] Facing them were four Allied Foxes - the FCS Admiral Corinne Donnings, FCS Intrepid, FCS Kentares and FCS Robinson[2] - led by the Avalon-class FCS Melissa Davion.[1]
The resulting battle saw the Intrepid disabled and the Admiral Corinne Donnings destroyed in the early stages; the Kentares then maneuvered itself into close proximity with the Alexander Davion and executed a tactic that shocked both forces - the Kentares activated her K-F Drive, destroying both ships.[2] The Kentares and the Alexander Davion were the last ships to be destroyed in the battle, as the Lucien Davion surrendered after taking heavy damage and the Murmansk executed a jump from a pirate point, vanishing without trace.[1]
The FSS Lucien Davion subsequently served as the flagship of Princess-Regent Yvonne Steiner-Davion and Tancred Sandoval from 3068 to 3076; it was later put in orbit of New Avalon as a permanent naval garrison by order of the Princess-Regent since 3076.[3]
During the assault at Palmyra, the Lucien Davion was destroyed by McFadden's Sky Storm.[4]
