History

In 3061 the Potemkin-class carrier CDS Red Tide was a WarShip in service with the Clan Diamond Shark touman.[1]

In 3078 the Red Tide served as a part of Task Force EARTHBOUND, the WarShip flotilla is responsible for clearing the naval defenses around Terra as a part of the allied coalition efforts to capture the planet from the Word of Blake.[2]

When Vice Admiral Walker Clay from the Indomitable disobeyed orders and tried to destroy the WoBS Beneficence, formerly the Avalon-class cruiser FCS Melissa Davion, which had been captured and suborned by the Word of Blake, she ordered Rear Admiral Marcelle on the FSS Admiral Michael Saille to follow. This action cost Task Force EARTHBOUND part of its cover and the Clan Diamond Shark vessel Red Tide was struck and destroyed by multiple nuclear warheads. Further, the Indomitable was lost with nearly a ninety percent loss of life though Walker Clay survived, and the Saille was critically wounded, her commander killed in the action.[3]
