The Coronation is the flagship and main asset of the 5th Task Force. This vessel is powerful enough to conduct full-scale orbital bombardment and carries extensive fighter support and ground forces to conduct a full range of military operations. This front-line warship provides much of the firepower for the 5th Task Force. While an older vessel, she has been extensively upgraded and modified to keep her on an equal footing with newer enemy craft.

Vessel Info

Construction

The Coronation was built in the massive shipyards of Kuat by the nascent Kuat Drive Yards for service with the Galactic Empire. Christened during the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Coronation is an older craft that has aged well and has been maintained in pristine condition. This has allowed her retrofit and modification to modern standards to be completed ahead of schedule and within budgetary constraints.

History

The Coronation was launched during the Imperial Fete of 2 BBY, named in honor of the anniversary of Palpatine assuming the mantle of Emperor and ushering in the New Order. This name proved a curse for the vessel, as Palpatine did not appreciate the implication that he was granted control of the Galaxy and had not indeed taken it by force. It was even speculated that the first commanding officer was court-martialed and met a swift end due to earning the ire of the Emperor himself. Due to this checkered pedigree, the Coronation found itself relegated to the edges of Wild Space, used as a forward staging platform for scouting and charting of the few space lanes active in the region.

This relative exile for the craft served as its salvation. Due to her distance from the Core and the lax organization of commands in the region, the Coronation was not present at the Battle of Endor nor was she pressed into service at the Battle of Jakku. It is unknown how the Coronation ultimately entered service with the Iron Throne, but it has heavily been hinted that she was purchased clandestinely when the Iron Forces rearmed and expanded after the events of the Eleventh Great Jedi War.

• Current Commander TBD

Role

The primary role of the Coronation within the 5th Task Force is that of orbital bombardment and fighter carrier. Supported by her strong auxiliary craft of the 5th Task Force the Coronation is a menace to enemy craft, capable of launching wave after wave of fighters while employing her withering firepower at range.

Action

The Coronation, like the rest of the newly constituted Iron Forces, was reorganized to face the threat of the Collective. As such, she has yet to take part in any battles of renown or earn for her exploits in war. However, like all Iron Forces capital ships, she has been actively engaged in the defense of the Arx System and has been used to keep the various Clans in check.
