The HMS Bis'mar, Onslaught-class was in command of a task force sent to investigate a suspected Tri-Tachyon base on an otherwise barren world in the Serpentis system. Unfortunately for the Hegemony, the intel about the base was a plant by Tri-Tachyon agents, designed to lead Hegemony ships into a trap.

Unfortunately for Tri-Tachyon, the Hegemony force was much stronger than anticipated and prevailed, despite the advantage of surprise that Tri-Tachyon forces enjoyed. The Bis'mar was the only surviving Hegemony ship, destroying one Tri-Tachyon cruiser and crippling another in the final showdown.

However, the Bis'mar's hyperdrive was damaged, and as it was leaving the system under low power, it was confronted by a Tri-Tachyon scout wing and a supply ship that did not take part in the battle.
