Description

The Battleship Jupiter was one of the small number of Battleships able to make it out of the Battle of Minor. Not just that, but the Captain of the Jupiter refused to retreat without ensuring that other Core vessels made it to safety. Battling against the Nomad hordes, the Jupiter and its battle-group bravely covered the Omicron Delta jump hole as Core forces made a quick retreat from chaos of Minor - the Nomads attempting to permanently neutralise both Core and Order forces at once whilst they were both occupied with fighting each other. As the last remnant of the Core attack force retreated to Delta, the Jupiter and its battle-group fled in tow, sustaining heavy damage from the Nomad bombardment.

Upon returning to Delta, the Jupiter was immediately drafted in with other vessels to secure the Minor jump hole and prevent further Nomad advancement towards Core territory. Regardless of being heavily damaged, the Jupiter and its crew keenly kept to their post and eagerly fought back against the Nomad forces. Through sheer tenacity and grit, the Nomads eventually left to continue their carnage in Omicron Minor and a small proportion of the Core attack fleet had managed to retreat. Unfortunately, what was left was a far cry away from their previous strength and it would take them several years to recuperate their losses and stand tall within the Edge Worlds once again.

After the battle, the Jupiter was towed back to Omicron Rho to undergo repairs. It's Captain and Crew were decorated and greatly rewarded for their bravery and dedication to the Core fleet. However the Jupiter had been so heavily damaged that it was doubtful it would be flying again any time soon, or flying again ever. Without a vessel to operate on, most of the crew from the Jupiter either took up positions on other Core capitals or landed themselves governmental roles on Planet Nauru with their new-found influence.

Though, rumour has it that the Jupiter has recently become fully functional again, and the Core has been experimenting on the Jupiter with the help of alien energies in order to create a newer and more powerful Capital ship to use in their conquest of the Omicrons.
