The FWLS '''''Attica''''' was the third ''[[Zechetinu]]''-class corvette launched by the [[Free Worlds League]].
 
 
 
==History==
 
==History==
Completing trials in April [[3058]], the ''Attica'' entered service shortly after her sister ship [[Karelia|FWLS ''Karelia'']]. As of early [[3059]], the ''Attica'' was a part of the League's "secret fleet" and had been charged with guarding the [[Illium Naval Yard]] in the [[Ionus]] system. The mandate to protect the shipyards, which were a closely-guarded secret in their own right, was such that [[Captain]] [[Mara Halas]] was authorized to destroy vessels other than authorized [[FWLM]] ships that approached sensor range of the yards. As a part of maintaining operational security, the ''Attica'' would often either alter her IFF transponder to broadcast the signal for her sister ship, the [[Tirana|FWLS ''Tirana'']], or even deactivate the transponder and run silent.<ref name="FM:FWLp118">''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 118, "FWLS Attica"</ref>

By [[3067]], the ''Attica'' had been in service for the better part of a decade and was one of four corvettes of her class and manufacturing block known to be on active service, serving alongside the [[Sparta (Individual Zechetinu-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Sparta'']], ''Karelia'', and ''Tirana''.<ref name="FM:Up144">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 144: "Ships Of The FWL"</ref>

With the Free Worlds League government beginning to disintegrate in the early years of the [[Jihad]] the ''Attica'' fell under the control of the [[Principality of Regulus]]. Prince [[Kirc Cameron-Jones]] subsequently launched a strike against the [[Duchy of Oriente]] in April [[3071]], of which the RPS ''Attica'' was a part; the naval battlegroup in the [[Oriente]] system built around the ''[[Thera]]''-class carrier [[Santorini|FWLS ''Santorini'']] crippled and then captured the ''Attica'', taking the ship as payment for the various Regulan actions against the Duchy.<ref name="JHS:3072p27">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', p. 27: "Sieging Is Believing"</ref>
