Role

Majestic-class Heavy Cruisers have the ability to fire their main guns at a range greater than any other cruiser in production. Due to this Arcona employed the Last Light with the Dajorra Defense Force, using it to soften up capital ships at range before the Bombers moved in.

When the DDF was abolished for a short, the Last Light was assigned to the newly created First Fleet, but now serves with the DDF again.

Action

House Feud of 28 ABY

The Last Light first saw action in the inter-House Feud, a set of small issues that escalated into conflict between the two Houses of Clan Arcona. The Last Light assisted the ISDII Eye of the Abyss II in ending the feud, although it was mainly intimidation by that ISDII and the Consul that brought the conflict to a close.

The Evacuation of Dajorra

The interceptor was involved in the evacuation of the Dajorra System in 29 ABY, arriving to attack the assembled Yuuzhan Vong forces a half hour after the Dajorra Defense Force alongside the rest of the Arcona Expeditionary Force. The vessel was brought into the battle by a Thrawn Pincer movement by the INT Creeping Darkness, coming up behind the majority of the Yuuzhan Vong force. The Last Light opened fire on the nearest Vong capital ship, a destroyer codenamed Lucifer by the Commodore.

Later in the battle, the Last Light was part of the first wave of a staggered withdraw to the Maw Rendezvous. The vessel decanted alongside the Eye of the Abyss, Darkest Night, and INT Creeping Darkness. Also, one third of the remaining fighters decanted with the first wave. The Last Light was forced to cover the second wave decanting to the Maw, and sustained some damage in the process.

The Last Light eventually made its way to Selen, where Clan Naga Sadow and the Arconan ground forces were fighting a vicious battle against the Yuuzhan Vong in Estle City. The Last Light survived the combat and was repaired, along with the rest of the AEF, by Clan Tarentum.

Uneasy Alliances Feud of 29 ABY

The next time the interceptor saw serious action was in 29 ABY during a feud with Clan Scholae Palatinae and Clan Plagueis, as the ship was sent with the Arcona Expeditionary Force into the Cocytus System to fight the enemy Clans' fleets, as well as the Yuuzhan Vong. The Majestic-class cruiser hardly sustained any damage during the battle.

Also, to note, there are a few refugees living on board, although the bulk of them are housed on the Abyss. These refugees were generated after the Dajorra System was lost to the Yuuzhan Vong during the Eighth Great Jedi War, and the Clan has yet to reclaim its home system.

Black Tempest

The Last Light remained as the flagship of the Arcona Expeditionary Force during the events that led up to Arcona's retaking of the Dajorra system. there, the cruiser helped the rest of the flotilla dispatch the remaining Vong forces.

Second Battle of Antei

Along with the rest of Arcona's fleet, the Last Light served with distinction in the Second Battle of Antei and helped take down the Super Star Destroyer that had engaged the clan fleets. Following the battle, the Last Light, along with the other craft in Arcona's Navy returned to Dajorra, where She was reassigned to the Dajorra Defense Force along with the newly commissioned MJHC Lictor, finally relinquishing the job of Flagship to a destroyer, the NSD Invicta.
