Originally the Battleship Himeji, commanded by Chujo Michio Raikatugi, was permanently stationed outside Governor Tekagi's fortress in the Tohoku system, along with the Battleships Ishioka, Musashi and Sennan. During the Nomad War, towards the end of 800 A.S., the Blood Dragons led an attack on Tekagi's fortress, resulting in the death of the Nomad-infested Tekagi.
The Matsuda was one of the casualties of this battle. A Blood Dragon torpedo fighter wing struck the ship while others distracted its escort fleet. Two torpedos struck the bridge, killing the entire bridge crew instantly. A third torpedo struck the engine, exploiting a critical design flaw in the Meiji class, and the subsequent explosion crippled the ship. Its crew was forced to abandon ship and seek refuge on Heaven's Gate.
The abandoned ship was left adrift. On inertia it drifted into an asteroid field, and was assumed destroyed by both the Kusari and Nomad forces it had been a part of. Eventually, Golden Crysantemum (GC) smugglers encountered the reasonably intact wreck by chance in 810 A.S. After a more thorough inspection, the GC decided it was worth the expense of salvaging the ship, and with the assistance of their Blood Dragon allies, managed to repair the engines to the point that it could safely jump.
The ship has since been brought into Okinawa, where it is slowly being restored. Okinawa is relatively safe for the GC, as the Gas Miners do not hound them, and the Kusari authorities respect the GMG's claim on Okinawa. Nevertheless, the ship remains relatively vulnerable, as large parts of the engineering plant and the bridge still need to be reconstructed. For the GC, the ship is essentially a heavily armed mobile base.
The Sisterhood has re-christened the ship "Battleship Matsuda", in honour of Yuyu Matsuda, founder of the Golden Chrysanthemum movement. At present, the Matsuda is tasked with guarding the Cardamine run through Okinawa and the jumphole to Honshu, and is home to a large population of Golden Chrysanthemum families in addition to the crew. Outcasts and Blood Dragons are also known to frequent the ship for supplies.
