38 ABY

Axios is a Star Destroyer in service of Clan Taldryan. Acquired following the battles of Homefront, the vessel was named in commemoration of the death of Vodo Biask Taldrya, former Consul of Taldryan. Axios is said to mean, "I am worthy" and was used by the semi-mythological General Bethus Julius Korbulo.
Meaning of the Name
Before his death in 38ABY, as the forces of Clan Taldryan flew into combat in defense of Mattock Station and the Severian Principate's delegates there, Vodo Biask Taldrya broadcast a message to inspire the members and troops of the Clan.
- " Today we head to battle—not for the first time, but also not for the last time. I expect every one of you to do your utmost, to do your duty. Duty to the Clan above all else.; We are a brotherhood within a Brotherhood. I am reminded of an ancient general of the Sith Empire. Bethus Julius Korbulo was amongst the Emperor’s most loyal warriors but one day he ran afoul of his Lord. Ordered to take his own life he is recorded to have said, ‘Axios!’. I am worthy. "
- ― Vodo Biask Taldyra
Vodo's legacy of dedication and sacrifice on behalf of his Clan was demonstrated in his final act when he destroyed a Collective super weapon that would have launched deadly chemical agents into the city of Eos and the Iron Legion's Headquarters. The destruction of the super weapon claimed his life but members of Clan Taldryan with sensitivity of the Force reported hearing his last word: Axios.
