The '''''Active''''' was an ''[[Avenger]]''-class [[DropShip]] owned and operated until at least [[3067]] by the mercenary unit known as [[The Medusans]]. The ''Active'' and her sister ships, the ''[[Acasta]]'' and the ''[[Agincourt (Individual Avenger-class DropShip)|Agincourt]]'', formed the oversized Second Division of Hydra Assault Squadron, serving under the commanding officer of the Second Division, [[Captain]] [[Robert Arbuthnott]].<ref name="MSIIp51">''Mercenaries Supplemental II'', p. 51, "Basilisk Assault Squadron: Winning The Staring Match"</ref>

When the Medusans attempted to defend [[New Syrtis]] from a [[Capellan Confederation|Capellan]] strike force in [[3069]], the ''Active'' was one of the ships involved in launching a deep space ambush against the Capellans. While the Medusans managed to destroy a ''[[Leopard]]'' and a ''[[Triumph]]'' and damaged a number of other Capellan DropShips, the mercenaries took damage in turn from the Capellan forces led by the ''[[Impavido]]'' class [[WarShip]] [[Zhejiang|CCS ''Zhejiang'']], which was escorting the strike force. During the battle the ''Active'' and her sister ships took damage that would require months of repair time within a shipyard, and while the damage was repairable, the damage inflicted on shipyards throughout the [[Inner Sphere]] by the [[Word of Blake]] as the [[Jihad]] escalated meant that the ''Active'' was still waiting for those repairs at the end of [[3071]].<ref name="MSUp90">''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 90, "Medusans"</ref>
