Changes: EAS Lexington

Revision as of 19:14, 26 February 2011

The EAS Lexington was a Hyperion class heavy cruiser.

History

In 2245, at the onset of the Earth-Minbari War the Lexington was under the command of Captain Roger Sterns with Commander John Sheridan as his first officer. The Lexington was considered an old patrol ship.

In 2247, in the aftermath of the initial Minbari advance, the Lexington was at Earth undergoing a refit. The Lexington was ambushed by Minbari warships and Captain Sterns was killed. With the Lexington crippled from the ambush, Sheridan used nuclear warheads to mine an asteroid field and succeeded in destroying a Minbari flagship, the Black Star. ^[2]^[3]^[4]

Though the Lexington survived the encounter, it suffered extensive damaged and would spend some time being repaired.
