Background and Further Notes:
Her keel being laid down in late July of 822, the Wiesbaden began her life as the R.N.C. Hannover, a heavy battlecruiser slated for the Hessian front. While the Military already had a sizeable force in both Omega-11 and Dresden, Hannover was still assigned to the front, where she participated in numerous escort missions, operations and reconnaissance missions. Her CO, Konteradmiral Peter Rohmer, often stated that the ship was a bastion of guns and metal. However, the ship's slated rechristening as the Wiesbaden gave him a new outlook on the ship.
The Konteradmiral, in an act of inane thoughtlessness, used the scheduled refit of the ship to attempt to proceed out of Rheinland. The operation, which he jokingly coins 'Operation Pastetchenkuchen', was almost a success, but the acts of the MND, in coordination with the XO of the ship allowed the Konteradmiral to be thwarted. Rohmer was sentenced and the XO, Kapitän Sofia Ulrich, was granted a promotion to the rank of Kommodore.
Once in command, Ulrich had the ship, as well as herself and her crew, transferred to the Marinenachrichtendienst, where she would serve as the flagship of the MND's Section 6 division. The ship, as it stands right now, runs off a skeleton screw, operating in a tight configuration to reduce the risk of leaking of their operations. As Section 6 is relatively unknown, even to the people within the MND, the goings-on of the Wiesbaden and her crew remain a tightly kept secret, and only those involved know only a sliver of what could be happening.
