The proud name of the Death Valley, was given to two ships. The first was a Liberty Siege Cruiser built in 758 A.S. under the command of Commander Nick Dench. It mainly patroled in the California System, to protect it from pirate attacks. In 799 AS the new Commander Joan Lansbury took command of the ship.
In 801 AS the Death Valley was ordered to defend a Station in a not nearer mentioned System. The Death Valley patroled the system and not much happened there, till in 802 AS on the 2nd January, a Order Fleet attacked the Station. The Death Valley go heavily damaged and Commander Lansbury, which wanted to rescue his crew had to retreat from the fight. For this action Lansbury was removed from the ship and never mentioned again, its not known what happened to him.
But the ship and its crew were Libertonian heroes from this day. The Death Valley got the next Commander, a young not so experienced woman named Jackie Hearts. It patroled the system of California again, where it was destroyed by a Pirate attack in 804 A.S.
The second and actual Death Valley, a Liberty Assualt Battlecruiser, was constructed in 815 A.S. Its commander is Captain Jason Black, a with 22 years relatively young Captain. The current patrol areas are especially Texas and New York. Sometimes the ship is ordered to special operations.
