Legacy
The wreckage of the ship was salvaged by the Draconian Union shortly after the ship's destruction and then placed in storage in orbit around Corpal in the Arxian system. In late 4033 the ship wreck was moved to the Mathonore system and eventually put on display in the massive display gardens attached to the Royal War Museum of Selab. It is the only wreck of a Tractia Heavy Cruiser that exists.
