Service history

The Heidenheim was assigned to Reinhard von Lohengramm's fleet at the Battle of Astarte in early 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE). It was destroyed by a battleship of the Alliance 2nd Fleet, after Erlache disobeyed High Admiral Lohengramm's orders by attempting to reverse course to face the enemy. (Overture to a New War)

Design

The Heidenheim was a standard Imperial battleship and was distinguished by a crest composed of two curlicues framing the symbol of the Empire. (Overture to a New War)
