Following the disbandment of the tri-superpower Xeno Defense agency [[Aegis]], the Imperial Navy was required to organise it's own Anti-Xeno forces. To this end, a number of Majestic Class Interdictors were upgraded with prototype AX weaponry, allowing them to endure and contribute to the fight in AX Conflict Zones. A trio of these modified ships were deployed to [[HIP 22460]] as part of the Empire's Contribution to [[Salvation|Salvation's]] operations in the system (alongside [[Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser|Federal Battlecruisers]] with similar upgrades) though all were lost following the disastrous activation of the [[Anti-xeno superweapon|Proteus Wave]]. Since then, similar AX Interdictors have been deployed to Imperial controlled systems under Thargoid Invasion, since the arrival of the [[Thargoid Maelstrom|Maelstroms]]. | |||
