It was named after the Greek mythic figure who commanded the Greek forces during the Trojan War. ==History== The ''Agamemnon'' was one of the first Omega class starships to be built by [[Earthforce]] following the [[Earth-Minbari War]].<ref name=ANFaW>[[And Now For a Word]]</ref> [[Image:Seal_agamemnon.png|left|150px]] In December 2256, the ''Agamemnon'' stopped at [[Centauri Prime]] for a quick lay over, before embarking on a 3 year patrol of the outer sectors.<ref name=rev>[[Revelations]]</ref> During this time, the ''Agamemnon'' patrolled and made diplomatic appearances in and around the [[League of Non-Aligned Worlds]].<ref name=ANFaW /> In January [[2259]], the ''Agamemnon'' came to the aid of a supply vessel that had been attacked by hijackers. Shortly after departing, [[Captain]] [[John Sheridan]] was transferred to [[Babylon 5]] to replace [[Jeffrey Sinclair]] as the station's commanding officer, leaving [[Commander]] [[James]] as the new [[Captain]].<ref>[[Points of Departure]]</ref><ref name=rev /><ref>[[Knives]]</ref><ref name=TFotE>[[The Face of the Enemy]]</ref> The ''Agamemnon'' made first contact with the [[Tikar]] just beyond the [[Saint Andre Nebula]]. The ''Agamemnon'' spent two days with the Tikar vessel.<ref>[[A Spider in the Web]]</ref> At that point, Captain [[James]] was named as the next commander of the ''Agamemnon''. A few months after Sheridan's transfer, the ''Agamemnon'' took part in his rescue from the [[Streib]]. When the Streib [[Spacing|spaced]] those they kidnapped into space, the ''Agamemnon'' destroyed the [[Streib cruiser|Streib starship]].<ref>[[All Alone in the Night]]</ref> In [[2260]], the ''Agamemnon'' was patrolling the solar system when Sheridan took the ''[[White Star 1|White Star]]'' to destroy the [[Shadow Vessel]] being studied by Earth Alliance forces. The Shadow vessel had been activated when a human was merged with the ship to act as a CPU, but it was done incorrectly, and the ship went insane. The Shadow vessel was lured into Jupiter's atmosphere where it was crushed by the pressure and gravity of Jupiter. The ''Agamemnon'' was sent to investigate, and found the White Star in the atmosphere. The crew of the ''Agamemnon'' did not realize that Sheridan was in command of the ''White Star''. ''Agamemnon'' tried to force Sheridan to surrender, but he was able to escape through establishing a jump point at the edge of Jupiter's atmosphere. [[President of the Earth Alliance|President]] [[Morgan Clark]] used this incident as an excuse to declare martial law. Clark's actions later provoked Sheridan and a number of others in Earthforce to go to war against Clark.<ref>[[Messages from Earth]]</ref> A crew member named Miller was injured during the confrontation.<ref name=TFotE /> ===The Earth Civil War=== In [[2261]], the ''Agamemnon'' was under the command of [[Captain]] [[James]]. After Sheridan broke away from Earth at the start of the [[Earth Alliance Civil War]], some of the crew suspected he was indeed guilty of treason, as Earth propaganda indicated. After hearing of attacks on civilian targets by President Clark's forces, however, they concluded that Sheridan was on the right side and chose to defect. The ''Agamemnon'' chased Sheridan's forces for days until they caught up with him at an asteroid belt with the intent to join his forces, much to their former captain's delight. The majority of the ''Agamemnon'' was trained by Sheridan, including Captain James. The ''Agamemnon'' was upgraded, which included the updating of the DX-419 tracking system to help find Sheridan's Minbari fleet elements. Captain Sheridan remarked that the system didn't work too well.<ref name=TFotE /> The ''Agamemnon'' subsequently fought in a fleet action near [[Beta IX]]. The ''Agamemnon'' picked up life pods from the {{EAS1|Damocles}}, including Duty Officer [[David Eisensen]], who was shuttled over Eisensen to the ''White Star 2'', where he explained that a Clark-loyal fleet of [[Advanced Omega class destroyer|advanced destroyers]] was waiting to ambush them in [[Sectors of Known Space|Sector 300]]. Unwilling to risk the ''Agamemnon'' or the other Earthforce destroyers, [[Commander]] [[Susan Ivanova]] left them behind with Captain James in charge, while she took the White Star fleet to [[Battle of Sector 300|engage the enemy fleet directly]]. At the behest of a mortally wounded Ivanova, Sheridan commanded the fleet with the ''Agamemnon'' as his flagship during the final advance towards Earth.<ref>[[Between the Darkness and the Light]]</ref> After successfully [[Battle of Mars|sabotaging and disabling]] General [[Robert Lefcourt]]'s Clark-loyal fleet at [[Mars]], Sheridan's forces, now supported by ships from the [[League of Non-Aligned Worlds]], pressed on to Earth. Then during the [[Liberation of Earth]], ''Agamemnon'' engaged the automated [[Planetary defense grid]] under Clark's direct control. After Clark turned the defense grid towards Earth, the ''Agamemnon'' took severe damage from missile strikes while engaging the [[Aegis orbital defense platform|defense platforms]] at close range. The ship's forward guns were disabled just as the last remaining platform was preparing to target North America's eastern seaboard with its particle weapon. Sheridan ordered the crippled ''Agamemnon'' to ram the platform to prevent it from firing. However, the {{EAS1|Apollo}} arrived from Mars in time to destroy the platform and prevent the destruction of the ''Agamemnon''.<ref>[[Endgame]]</ref> <gallery captionalign="left"> File:AgamemnonvsStreib.JPG|The ''Agamemnon'' destroyed a Streib vessel in 2259 File:EAS Agamemnon 2261.JPG|The ''Agamemnon'' exiting hyperspace in 2261 File:Agamemnon's Bridge.PNG|The bridge of the Agamemnon File:Seal of the Agamemnon.PNG|The seal of the ''Agamemnon'' Agamemnon.png|The EAS ''Agamemnon'' over an alien planet. Bridge Agamemnon.jpg|Bridge of the ''Agamemnon'' </gallery> ==Apocrypha== {{ShadowWithin}} The non-canon portion of the novel has the vessel under the command of [[Captain]] [[Best]], who brought along with the majority of the former crew of the [[EAS Athena|EAS ''Athena'']] prior to Sheridan taking command. In [[2256]], the vessel attempted to go into [[hyperspace]] with one of engine's port open and the ''Agamemnon'' was damaged in the attempt. This led to Best losing his command. [[Captain]] [[John Sheridan]] was placed in command of the vessel. Sheridan put the crew through many weapons drills due the ship's low drill scores. The scores were low due to [[Commander]] [[Corchoran]] sabotaging the drills in order for him to replace Sheridan. The ''Agamemnon'' participated in a war game with the [[EAS Hyperion|EAS ''Hyperion'']] and the ''Agamemnon'' lost. ==References== <small>{{reflist|2}}</small> <br clear="all"/> {{EarthforceShips}} {{OmegaClassDestroyers}} [[Category:Ships|Agamemnon, EAS]] [[Category: Earthforce ships|Agamemnon, EAS]] [[Category:Omega class destroyers|Agamemnon, EAS]]
