Free Alliance Ship Oath-Bound
The oldest ship still on active-duty, the FAS Oath-Bound began life as the first of Star Law's Oath-Bound-class frigates, participating in every major event in the old Federation's history, including the Battle of Ten Fleets, the Krataar Incident(where she played a pivotal role), the Battle of Snowball(where, again, she played another pivotal role)and the Second Sathar War, serving with Task Forces Liberty and White Light.
In f.y. 72, the Oath-Bound was completely gutted and rebuilt as the test-bed for the both the new pion drive system and the artificial gravity systems, before being dispatched to participate in the Battle Of Moonworld. Reassigned to Task Force White Light, she was present when the Juggernaut Fleets devastated Star Law during the Second Battle of Madderly's Star, the ship acquitting herself during the course of that bloody battle, destroying a Juggernaut and a pair of heavy cruisers, before retreating to Clarion, where she was to participate in the Second Battle of White Light, singlehandedly destroying the Leviathan-class dreadnaught Gargantua, the destroyers Hosanna and Righteous, and a dozen corvettes, escort carriers and cruisers.
After this battle, Oath-Bound was redesignated a strike cruiser, undergoing further modifications to carry a squadron of fighters and a single SR-15 scoutcraft, as well as laboratory facilities, the ship serving alternately in the Fleet and the Exploration Service over the course of the next twenty-three years, distinguishing herself well in nearly every major engagement the Free Alliance has fought in, including the Battle of Twenty-Seven Fleets, and, most recently, the Fourth Battle of Truane's Star, and the Third Battle of Volturnus.
Although the ship is nine decades old, she has been throughly modernized, and remains in active service, both as a symbol of the old Federation and its ideas, and as a decorated and effective combat vessel in her own right.
She is currently attached to Battle Group McCoy, serving as an independent unit.
