Operational history
Four such vessels were used to colonize Meridian in 2431, deployed from the mast Meridian 5. These four ships landed on the continent of Turones to establish cities on the moon's surface. In 2548, a handful of the ships were sent to the other side of Hestia V to escape the Covenant during their first assault, and were recalled when the Liang Dortmund Corporation recolonized the planet after the war. One of the ships was even used to power the mining town Meridian Station, but was left in a heavily damaged state after a Guardian awakening.

Following the Guardian event, Liang-Dortmund transferred one of its Star Charter-class ships to oversee Darkstar Station.
