| - During its history, Conquistador was assigned to patrol the border space with the Solarian League covering seven systems. It fought in small and limited engagements against battlecruisers and smaller vessels. In 1886 PD, the ship received the first of many "Double A" efficiency ratings. This streak was the longest in the RHN's history. This streak would last for nineteen years and eventually cover four different captains. In 1897 PD, Conquistador was under the command of Captain Henry Thurber, when the task force it led encountered a secessionist plot in the Morell System. Captain Thurber detached his destroyer screen, and went to the edge of the hyperspace limit in the system, where he was able coordinate his beams and make multiple hyperspace transitions, which resulted in the destruction of two battlecruisers, which ended the space-based portion of the conflict. (JIR2) In 1907 PD, the ship served as Vice Admiral Alexander Thurston's flagship in Task Force 14 and was destroyed by the first salvo of missiles fired in the Fourth Battle of Yeltsin's Star. (HH5)
