History
In ICY 955, battle records and experience showed the need for a more powerful ship than the assault ships to battle the patrol ship heavy fleet composition of the United Mankind. This immediately gave support to the faction supporting the idea of a heavier fleet composition based on the battles in ICY 952. The first ship of the class were put together into the new Devastation Squadron in order to test them out in the Martine Gate War Games in the Hyde System.

Martine Gate War Games
After the Three Nations Alliance Forces withdrew from the Hyde System it became part of the Humankind Empire Abh once again. Count Prince Jinto of the Hyde Family was returning with Princess Abriel Lafiel to Jinto's home planet of Martine which is in the Hyde System.

During their trip the two flights of the Devastation squadron with newly introduced and operational class of vessels took flight first to race toward Martine and depending on which of the squadrons arrived first would establish the defenders and attackers of the system. Apparently during training, extremists took control of Big Charlie and fired upon the craft in training. The Caubh-Class shrugged off the blow and returned a single shot that obliterated the superweapon of the Martine people once and for all.

Operation Twin Thorns
The Caubh-class ship were put into mass production after the initial test phase and were sent to the front lines. The Caubh-class ship proved its worth in the Battle of Kemal gateway and the assault on the main enemy installation within the system.
