Vessel history:The MNS Rosario was produced by the Maltese Navy in 699 A.S. as a part of the ongoing Corsair Crusades. The Rosario was initially assigned to defense duty in Omicron-81, but was later re-assigned to the 9th Cruzados Maltesas and participated in numerous raids on Omicron Gamma.
Eventually, it found its hands into young Diego Rodriguez, recently promoted Capitane of the Maltese Navy. He commanded the vessel and its crew on numerous successful raids into Omicron Gamma, scoring a remarkable 18 confirmed destroyed Corsair capital vessels, making him a three-time Ace of the Maltese Navy.
However, all luck does run out. On March 8th, 820 A.S., Capitane Rodriguez and the Rosario were participating in a raid on Omicron Gamma when the flagship of the fleet, a Ranseur-class vessel by the name of MNS Arroyo, was taken out by a surprise Corsair ambush. Eventually, only the Rosario was left, and it was eventually destroyed by numerous Corsair capital vessels. The only known survivor, Capitane Rodriguez, was held by the Corsairs for fourteen months following the destruction as a prisoner of war before being released to the Maltese in exchange for two captured Corsair pilots.
