The Asgard was perhaps the most powerful ship the Templars ever built, and one of the longest construction projects taken by them short of Twilight Citadel. Construction of the Asgard began in 56 ABY after the designs were drawn up, and finished in 100 ABY. The ship remained in Templar space for the next 35 years, until the Sith Imperium of Darth Insipid approached the Templars with a Flotilla. The Asgard was at the head of the responding group.
