===In Republic Service===
 
The vessel would see most notable actions during Battle for Terra beginning in January 3151, as it and the Republic's Warship fleet would begin series engagements with oncoming Clan Wolf and Jade Falcon forces.
 
 
In the first engagement she participated in, she was assigned to Task Force Hannibal, where she was among Warships ordered by Republic Admiral Labbé to engage Clan Wolf's Task Force Mercury, which was carrying entire [[touman]] of the Wolves. Her most notable actions she took was vanguard of the Republic lines and fired the first shots of the engagement.  In course of the fight, Wolves' flagship, SLS ''[[McKenna's Pride|McKenna’s Pride]]'' and [[CWS Dire Wolf|CWS ''Dire Wolf'']] combined their firepower to break the keel of the ship.  She and other surviving elements of Hannibal withdrew from combat to the naval-defense station of Fort Grec, one of the two naval-defense stations at the [[zenith jump point]].<ref>''[[IlClan (sourcebook)]]'', p. 15 - MERCURY VS HANNIBAL</ref>
 
 
As the ship arrived with rest of the Task Force, Clan Jade Falcon had appeared, started to attack the two defense stations.  Republic Admiral Labbé ordered the fleet to engage the Falcons in hopes to destroy as many of the in bound troop ships as soon possible. The ''Triumphus'' would engage in her final action, where she would engage the ''Black Lion'' Class Battlecruiser, the [[CJF White Aerie|CJF ''White Aerie'']]. The baddly damaged destroy would close in and be set to fire it's broadside of Naval Lasers into the Falcon Warship, as it's crews would abandon ship. Reeling from the damage inflicted on her, the ''White Aerie'' would use her firepower in the exchange to destroy the ship.<ref>''[[IlClan (sourcebook)]]'', pp. 34-35, 55-56 - ZENITH JUMP POINT & THE DEATH RIDE OF THE REPUBLIC</ref>
