HMS Hood (51)

* 1920
* 1944

***HMS Hood*** is an *Admiral-class* battlecruiser built for Royal Navy during and just after World War I. She was considered the pride of the Royal Navy throughout her service. Her arguably most famous engagement was the Battle of the Denmark Strait where she, alongside the battleship *HMS Prince of Wales*, engaged the German battleship *Bismarck* and cruiser *Prinz Eugen*. This would lead to Hood being severely damaged and forced to break off. Returning to Britain, she would be sent off the United States for a massive refit and overhaul. Upon its completion in 1944 she would be immediately sent to the Pacific theater, where she would assist in the Battle of Okinawa and bombardment of the Japanese coastline. Serving post-war until the end of the 1950’s, she would eventually be preserved as a museum ship in Portsmouth by 1968.

ISD Dementer

The ***ISD Dementer*** was an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer built for the Imperial Navy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone Wars. She would be captured and studied by the Terran Systems Alliance during Operation: Bullhorn.

## History

Built during the immediate aftermath of the Clone Wars, the *Dementer* would be among the fist Imperial-class Star Destroyers completed.

She would be sent on several missions to put down minor uprisings on Outer Rim worlds in 1998, before being send on a joint patrol in the Unknown Regions alongside fellow Star Destroyer *Devastator* and the Terran Zeus-class battlecarrier *Athena*.

During this patrol, seeking to to retrieve a Star Destroyer to study for potential weaknesses during a future conflict with the Galactic Empire, the TSS Anglerfish, a stealth ship, placed a radiation charge on the vessels underside. The radiation charge would activate upon entering Hyperspace, which killed the 9,000 strong crew within three minutes, while it’s half life was only twenty-four hours. A reprogrammed protocol droid then deactivated the hyperdrive and forced the ship out of hyperspace to a Star system in the middle of the Unknown Regions, where four tugs would pull the vessel into a stationary orbit around a large asteroid for study. After the radiation subsided, analysis teams removed sections of amour, and some weapons systems, but there would be complications.

A surviving crew member, whom had been wearing a radiation suit for inspecting the reactor, evaded the search teams and activated the ships self-destruct. With the TSA teams quickly evacuating, the ship would be completely destroyed, with only three sections of its armor and a pair of medium turbolasers surviving in reasonable condition for study.

The Imperial Navy would launch a search for the vessel, alongside elements of the TSA Navy, whom were unaware of the events that had transpired. No evidence of the ship would ever be found however, and the event would remain permanently classified by the TSA.

Arizona-class battleship

> “The era of the battleship has returned!” - Admiral James Roosevelt
>
>

The ***Arizona-class battleships*** are a class of six battleships built for the United States Navy during the prelude to the Galactic Civil War. These were the first battleships built on Earth since the commissioning of HMS Vanguard over 60 years earlier. Using advancements in technology achieved after the arrival of the Galactic Republic, these vessels used many design and technical improvements usually reserved for the Terran Systems Alliance Navy. These included a massive power-plant of two nuclear reactors, four twin coil-gun turrets, and a large amount of automation to reduce crew size. The vessels naming convention continued the tradition of naming battleships after states, with four of the vessels sharing names with World War II-era battleships. Originally intended to be only 4 vessels, another pair were ordered in the aftermath of the Terran Campaign. During said campaign, only *USS Arizona (BBGN-72)* would see combat during the Battle of Alaska, with the other five being commissioned too late to see combat against the Empire.

The ***TSS Galactica (CCV-12)*** was a *Zeus*-class battlecarrier built for the Terran Systems Alliance Navy during the Clone Wars. Of the four vessels in the class, Galactica was unique in that she was constructed by Colonial Shipbuilding, rather than by Kuat Drive Yards. She would survive the conflict and serve in an anti-piracy/terrorism role for the next two decades. When the TSA was attacked by the Galactic Empire, shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Galactica would participate in the defense of Earth. Serving with distinction for almost three decades, she would be decommissioned shortly after the formal end of the Galactic Civil War.

## History

Shortly after her shakedown cruise, she would be assigned to the joint Terran/Republic Battlegroup Shield led by the RSD *Liberation*. The fleets first assignment would be the Mission to Lola Sayu, where the *Galactica*, *Liberation*, and Venator-class Star Destroyer *Dauntless*, supported by several escorts successfully rescued the infiltration team from the surface.

The **Zeus-class battlecarriers** were a group of six capital ships constructed for the Terran Systems Alliance during the mid-1990s. Of the planned six vessels, only four would be laid down and completed. Designed to function as carrier/battleship hybrids, they would carry heavy armament and armour, while also having a substantial air-wing. These vessels would first see combat during the late Clone Wars, however their most active period of combat would occur during the Galactic Civil War, during which two of the vessels would be destroyed. The remaining two vessels would serve valiantly in the last years of the war, before being decommissioned shortly after its conclusion.

## Cold War

### Conflict

* Geopolitical tension between the United States and USSR, along with respective allies

* Western Hemisphere

### Outcome

NATO Victory* Dissolution of Soviet Union

## Casualties

The ***Cold War*** was a period of geopoliticaltension between the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies, the Western Bloc and the Eastern Bloc, which began following World War II. Historians do not fully agree on its starting and ending points, but the period is generally considered to span the 1947 introduction of the Truman Doctrine to the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union. The term ‘cold war’ is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two superpowers, but they each supported major regional conflicts known as proxy wars.

The **A-10 Thunderbolt II**, commonly known as the **Warthog**, is a single-seat, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, attack aircraft originally developed by Fairchild Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). First seeing combat during the Gulf War, the aircraft would prove itself very capable in its ground attack role.

However, said conflict would also reveal several flaws in its design such as its slow speed leaving bit extremely vulnerable to anti-air missiles, and it’s 30mm cannon having an adverse affect on the stability of the craft when fired, leading to a wide spread of rounds missing the target.

These issues would be taken into account when designing the A-10B for production by Terran Skylines, whom had acquired the A-10 license from Fairchild Republic shortly before it’s collapse. During the Clone Wars, it would see service amongst the forces of the Terran Systems Alliance Air Force in semi-limited quantities, with the majority of the aircraft remaining in US hands. However, many of the craft would see service across the Galaxy, as many of Earth’s national militaries assisted the TSA’s own military forces.

The A-10 would see service in numerous conflicts after the Clone Wars, including the The War on Terror, the Iraq War, and the Galactic Civil War. Updates including computoral advances and the ability to use smaller cartridge 30mm ammunition, similar to the SF-4 Viper and SF-6 Banshee, would see the introduction of the A-10C variant in 2007, which would later be joined by the only slightly more advanced A-10D in 2013.

By the aftermath of the Galactic Civil War only C and D variants, with only a total of 634 airframes between them, would remain in service.

She would see major action during the war, including the Battle of the Denmark Strait and ‘The Channel Dash’. She would be awarded to the United States as a war prize post-war, and recommissioned as the *USS Bismarck*, after the capital of the state of North Dakota. She would see action during the Korean War, and be decommissioned shortly after its conclusion and placed in reserve. She would be sold for use a museum ship in the late 1950s in Boston, Massachusetts and would be later joined by the *USS Cassin Young* in 1981.
