LNFg Audacious (FG-34)

LNFg Audacious (FG-34) was a Vigilant-class frigate of the Luminarian Navy during the Great War. 
Audacious was laid down in the 9th year of the Great War at the Corth Fleetyards, launched 60 days before Operation Isomer and commissioned 15 days before Operation Isomer with Commander Orlas in command. She was lost in action during the battle at NGC-4261.
==Service History==
After shakedown off at the Corth Fleetyards, Audacious headed for the Zaretian Theatre as part of the 2nd BattleFleet, arriving at Lagoth. When Operation Isomer began, Audacious was assigned to Battlegroup Noxia, Sub-Battlegroup Citera, Quick Response Squadron 6. 
Audacious had her first fleet action in the Battle of Aphiri. The frigate operated with Captain Raghriz's Quick Response Squadron 6, acting as a quick response force to intercept Zaretian reinforcements. Audacious, alongside the LNFg Valorous and LNC Wisdom received a reinforcement request from the LNC Spirit, who was tackled by the ZMS Broke Dick and ZMS Salami whilst engaging the ZMS Love Stick. Jumping into the fray, the 4 ships engaged the surrounding Zaretian ships, and within 8 minutes, drove the Zaretian ships off and destroying the ZMS Salami in the process.
After the battle, Audacious participated in many more battles as a quick response element, including the Battle of Rigni, where during the defense of Quantum Gate Beta, she dueled the Oppressor-Class Cruiser, ZMS Star Wyrm and sunk her. However, Audacious took too much damage and had to be pulled out of the frontlines.
As the Battle of Rigni ended, Audacious and the remaining ships of Battlegroup Noxia made their way to NGC-4261, where a repair and rearm staging area was set up. For the next 4 months, Audacious underwent repairs, conducted by the LNCr Principled.
When the Zaretians launched the Rigni Counteroffensive, NGC-4261 was one of the systems swept up. Audacious, alongside the Valorous, defended the Principled against the ZMS Crimson Leviathan. After managing to drive off the Crimson Leviathan, Audacious responded to Rear Admiral Xentha's distress call, jumping in alongside with the Valorous to assist the LNBs Redoubtable. 
Upon arriving on the scene, Redoubtable had a massive hole along her port stern, with a massive number of Zaretian bomber craft flying around and 2 Galaxy-Class Battleships, the ZMS Bloodhound and ZMS Tempest launching salvos of torpedoes at the Redoubtable. Audacious immediately moved to block the hole in Redoubtable using her own hull, and attempted to suppress Zaretian bombers with her fighter squadron and point defense network. Audacious managed to hold off Zaretian attacks at the exposed Redoubtable for 4 minutes, but had suffered 16 direct torpedo hits and lost 75% of her point defense network. Even with her point defense network knocked out, Audacious utilized her quickfire plasma beams in an attempt to suppress strikecraft from getting close.
6 minutes into the battle, 8 Gemini bombers managed to plant 6 Iconoclast-Type Heavy Penetrator torpedoes into Audacious, completely snapping the frigate into 2. Mere seconds later, Audacious's power core exploded, ripping the remnants of the frigate apart and killing all 296 onboard.
