==Description==
A Stockholm-class cruiser, the Lansing has served mostly on patrol missions around Alliance territory. Following the Battle of the Citadel the Lansing was among dozens of ships that were on alert for follow-up geth attacks. This was also the first posting of then-1st Lieutenant Sandra Kelso.
In early 2199 she was summoned to the Kassar System in response to a distress call sent by the Northwood Firing Range on Burke Minor. Upon assuming a lower orbit, she took anti-air plasma fire coming from an invasive alien insect species that had overrun the facility. Due to damage she was forced to pull out of orbit to nearby Burke Major for repairs and wait until relief arrived.
