TRV Quieros Shield

The TRV Quieros Shield (hull number CV-6001) was a Gladius-class Destroyer in Trident Foundries military service, previously stationed at TRS Quieros before the ship's scrapping.

Description
First of the MkII Block-I Gladius-class vessels, the Quieros Shield saw a lot of action in its short month of service; from anti-pirate operations, to the stopping of hostile cruisers outside TRS Quieros.

History
Shortly after the vessel's construction on the 16th of November, GY 2433, the Quieros Shield engaged and sank the sloop N'Gow Nimoy in the outer reaches of the Quieros system, killing its commander.

Action of 14 December 2433
On 14 December 2433, a flotilla of destroyers consisting of the Mk II Block-I Quieros Shield, Kopis, Pilum, Spatha and the Mk III Block-II Lucenia engaged the light cruiser Arrakis Infinite around TRS Quieros. During the engagement, the flotilla was ambushed by a Kadsura-class cruiser, which opened up upon the flotilla with beam fire. In short order, both Kopis and Pilum were sunk. Spatha was heavily damaged during her withdrawal, and Quieros Shield sustained moderate damage. Upon their return, Spatha and Quieros Shield were scrapped, the damage deemed too severe to feasibly repair; and the wreckage of Pilum was recovered by friendly forces shortly afterwards, the reactor having failed to overload.
