Despite the success of the ''Black Lion I'' in service with the Terran Hegemony as a command asset for cruiser squadrons and in forming scout wings for battleships, the class was soon outdated by technological innovations like docking collars. Later designs like the ''[[Quixote]]''-class frigate attempted to replace the ''Black Lion I'', although the ''Black Lion I'' remained in service for decades. The final end for the ''Black Lion I'' in service with the Terran Hegemony was the decision to refit the ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser, which was both more advanced and more numerous, and the ''Black Lion I'' went into mothballs.<ref name="FR:2765CCAFp19"/>

In the lead-up to the [[Reunification War]] the Terran Hegemony sold the majority of the remaining ''Black Lion Is'' to the [[Great Houses]], where the class continued to serve well, only to end up in mothballs again as a result of the drawdown and streamlining of the House navies during the era of the [[Star League]]. The majority of the ''Black Lion I'' class were removed from service, their germanium cores removed for use elsewhere, but some ships from the class would survive as active WarShips, seeing combat during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]].<ref name="FR:2765CCAFp19"/>
