[edit] History

During her long years of service, Magellanic had saved Princess Sukarhit from a Magog attack on her first mission and received honours from both the Vedran Empress and the Triumvirs.

During the Nietzschean Uprising, the Magellanic was dispatched to the Herotodus system to reinforce and assist General Sky Falls in Thunder. Warrick and his Lancers went down to the planet but were overwhelmed. To avoid the Magellanic's capture, he ordered her to self-destruct. However, couldn't believe this coming from one she loved, seeing it as a betrayal, she ejected her slipstream core, incinerating the planet and creating a large debris field. The AI then used the ship's medical logs to recreate some of her favorite crew to fend off loneliness.

After 300 years, the Andromeda Ascendant arrived in the system and Captain Hunt and his crew try to salvage the ship. However, after they discovered Jill's secret, the Magellanic began attacking them. When the Andromeda returned fire, Jill intentionally lowered her defenses so that she could die.
