NBF Acclaim of Order

The Imperial starship Acclaim of Order was a Nebulon-B frigate specially outfitted with an high-gain/high-output HoloNet transceiver and navigational relay coordinator to act as a communications vessel for Task Force Steel Resolve during the Caspian Annexation Campaign. She accompanied the Star Destroyer Emperor Valak and cruiser Legerity to Caspia as part of the "envoy element".

After six hours in orbit over Caspar, Acclaim of Order was dispatched by Admiral Jarl Rellik to a pre-determined location in the Caspian system under the auspices of relaying a HoloNet transmission back to Imperial space regarding the day's proceedings. The comms-frigate did so, but also broadcast a complex set of coordinates to other Imperial starships lurking just beyond the Union's frontier on an embedded, encoded frequency. This allowed these Imperial warships to execute a pair of rapid jumps and arrive in Caspia to commence the Battle of the Inner Caspian Worlds. During the assault, the ship's role was to identify and jam any communications made by the Caspians.

With the battle over and Caspian space secured, the ship took up the role of official communications ship for the entire Task Force. During the Siege of Trinumvira, the Imperials began to use Acclaim of Order as a psychological or propaganda weapon, jamming all Caspian communications and broadcasting appeals and motives for surrender. It became a target of sporadic NAA and MAD attacks, but none succeeded beyond forcing the ship to relocate temporarily.

Acclaim of Order met her end at the climactic Battle of the Belt. Union forces had managed to coordinate, just enough, in their unique SONG network (and through other meager, clandestine means) to prioritize targets during their counterattack. Several dozen fighters – the last of Caspar's beleaguered aerospace force – converged on the frigate and managed to severely cripple her such that her communications and electronics arrays were taken offline. Mute and deaf, Acclaim tried to lend her remaining firepower to the battle, but was soon isolated by CMS Kearsarge and CMS Commerson and destroyed.
