The Battleship Westfalen has had a long and turbulent history, ever since the original Bayern-class Battleship was commissioned in 676 A.S. It was the only battleship to survive the Eighty Years War against the Gas Miners Guild, with the broken remains of her sister ships still scattered across the Sigma-13 nebula even today.
Virtually obsolete and with many systems failing frequently, the Westfalen was eventually relocated to the Hamburg system in order to clamp down on the ever-increasing Bundschuh and Unioner attacks. When her crew struggled with even this task, Rheinland Military officials were finally forced to retire the ship from active service after 130 years - the longest known service record for any military ship in Sirius.
The battleship was finally scrapped, its parts sent to ALG for recycling. However, due to the exemplary record of the ship and the reputation behind the name "Westfalen", it was agreed to christen the first of the new Bismarck class battleships as the new Westfalen, and the vessel is once again stationed in Hamburg, serving as a highly visible symbol of the Chancellor's growing military power.
In a surprise advance, the Westfalen battlegroup pushed into Honshu, causing havoc and disarray in the Kusari forces and local traffic. A brazen advance to cut off the Sigma 19 flank tested the Westfalen’s reputed invincibility against a hail of well dug in Kusari servicemen. Grimly bogged down in the wake of multiple attacks, feints and torpedo strikes, the Westfalen, and what little remained of its support fleet, returned from the Honshu front mauled and scarred, much like their legendary namesake. The ship is being prioritised rapid overhaul at Oder Shipyard, the ancient Imperial standard emblazoned on its cracked hull. Most of the Westfalen’s non-essential crew have taken up station on the Carrier Soltau, back in the battleship’s home system of Hamburg, whilst the Westfalen is restored to active duty.
