Hi.. can anyone tell me what the hell happened to the TCS Concordia? Why is it sitting in an ocean all blowed up at the beginning of Wing Commander III.. is it just me, or does Col. Blair have a REAL bad track record with capital ships?

I believe it says in one of the WC novels (End Run or Fleet Action, or something) that the Concordia was destroyed in the battle of Earth. It briefly mentions the battle in the war summary in Victory Streak. (when the Kilrathi launched missiles at Earth).

As far as I can tell from reading the time lines etc. the TCS Concordia was retired to patrol duties as it was becoming rattely. While on patrol it ran into a kilrathi fleet, it tried to fight them but was destroyed due to lack of fighters and dated technology. I think this is about right, if anyone knows any more I'd like to know, John-Edward 'Wraith' -- ___________________________________________ | | |The avalanche has already started, | | it is too late for the pebbles to vote! | | | | Ambassador Kosh, Babylon 5. | |___________________________________________|

(grin) The TCS Concordia can be just 5 years old, but hard-won battles are bound to take their wear and tear on any ship, no matter how proud the name. =) Maybe it wasn't getting old, but it certainly would have become rickety.
