The '''''Bismarck''''' was an ''[[Atreus (WarShip class)|Atreus]]'' [[battleship]] in service with the [[Free Worlds League Navy]]. The ''Bismarck'' was one of an increasingly small number of ''Atreus''-class [[WarShip]]s to remain in service as the [[First Succession War]] progressed, and in late [[2805]] was the lead ship of a five-WarShip [[squadron]] dispatched to assist [[Oriente]] during the third and final attempt by the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] to invade and capture the planet. With the bulk of the planetary defenses destroyed or damaged during the first two invasions, the [[CCAF]] task force—escorted by every WarShip the CCAF could assemble quickly—comprised a total of four ''[[Vincent]]''-class corvettes, two ''[[Essex I|Essex]]''-class destroyers and the damaged ''[[Du Shi Wang]]''-class battleship [[Duncan Liao (Individual Du Shi Wang-class WarShip)|CCS ''Duncan Liao'']].<ref name="FSWp85">''First Succession War'', p. 85: "Objective Oriente - Strike Three and Out"</ref>

Arriving at the Oriente zenith [[jump point]], the ''Bismarck's'' task force attacked the Capellan [[JumpShip]]s there, capturing two and destroying the remainder within twenty minutes of their arrival. The ''Bismarck'' then dispatched two ''[[League (WarShip class)|League]]''-class destroyers to escort the [[Free Worlds League Military]] ground forces on their approach to Oriente, before moving to intercept the Capellan WarShips, flanked by the other two ships from her squadron - the ''[[Soyal]]''-class [[cruiser|heavy cruisers]] [[Karka|FWLS ''Karka'']] and [[Makara|FWLS ''Makara'']]. The three WarShips made an in-system jump to a pirate point between Oriente and its two moons, surprising the Capellan WarShips; as the ''Bismarck'' moved swiftly to engage the ''Duncan Liao'', the ''Karka'' and ''Makara'' began making long-range attacks against the Capellan ships, while all three WarShips launched their [[aerospace fighter]]s.<ref name="FSWp85"/>
