The Azov was an Overlord-class DropShip. Part of the Liberation Flotilla, it participated in the Word of Blake's attack on Terra on 28 February 3058.
History
Together with the DropShips Knox, Hobart, DeGrasse, Halland, Fife, and Perry, the Azov formed Task Force Gold on approach, which was scheduled to land at La Paz before moving to secure the Com Guard base at Manaus. On this mission, the Azov carried two Lucifer, Ironsides, and Lightning aerospace fighters each.
They were intercepted by elements from the Com Guard Terran Defense Fleet (Charleston, Alexander Nikolayev, Jeanne D'Arc, Casablanca, Sawakaze, Trafalgar). Task Force Gold lost approximately forty percent of its ships, primarily transport vessels. It is unknown if the Azov survived the battle.[1]
