Commissioned in 805 AS, the Karlsruhe was assigned to protect Rheinland interests in the Stuttgart system, stationed near the Planet Stuttgart Docking Ring, an area frequently raided by LWB fighters. This has led to some rumors that Synth Foods did more than merely appeal to the Rheinland government for better protection of its assets. The Karlsruhe did its job well in orbit, but did little to stop the extremists on the surface.
Following the Imperial coup in 827 A.S., the Karlsruhe was faced with a choice to either join the Imperialists or remain loyal. The latter option was taken, in contrast to the vast majority of the Rheinland Military. This would lead many to think that a career long service in defense of Synth Foods interests in Stuttgart, had resulted in the officer corps being in the pay of the corporation. A more common theory is that many of the men and women of the fleet were Stuttgart natives, whose families had not suffered economic turmoil under the Federal government as other planets had. The victims of the Synth Foods monopoly were not a common recruit of the Military that served to protect it, so anti-corporate, anti-federal sentiment was at a minimum.
There was a brief period of uneasy calm before the scale of their predicament, and the gravity of their choice became clear. The Imperials were quick to respond, and the Battleship Altenburg pursued from Omega-7. The Karlsruhe opted to flee to Cologne, however the Altenburg arrived just as the Karlsruhe left orbit, and a brief yet bloody engagement ensued. Losses were many, but the Karlsruhe succesfully disingaged. and entered Cologne.
This would not be the final destination however, as the system was beset by reports of Hessian fleets building in the Weisskugelfeld. Fearing the worst, the Karlsruhe took the only path available to it, and entered Zurich directly through the new jump gate, and into the unknown.
