==History==
The '''''Mount Song''''' was a ''[[Baron (WarShip class)|Baron]]''-class [[destroyer]] in service with the [[Capellan Confederation Navy]].  It was active since at least [[2765]], but was likely constructed closer to [[2520]] when the ''Baron''-class was launched.<ref>''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 5</ref><ref>[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/3792/baron-destroyer-standard MUL Profile for the Baron - Includes Introduction Year.]</ref>  In [[2789]], the ''Mount Song'' and a sister ship, the [[Changsha|CCS ''Changsha'']], were acting as a part of the orbital defenses of [[Andurien]], the capital world of the [[Andurien Commonality]], when the [[Free Worlds League Military]] invaded the system as one of the first blows in a determined campaign to recapture the Andurien systems that had been so heavily contested during the [[Age of War]].<ref name="FSWp60">''First Succession War'', p. 60: "Losing Ground"</ref>

The [[Free Worlds League]] task force was substantial; the ground forces assigned to capturing Andurien consisted of the [[4th Atrean Dragoons|Fourth]] and [[Eleventh Atrean Dragoons]], plus four regiments of mercenary forces drawn from [[Baldwin's Cobras Heavy Brigade]] and [[Gladstone's Gladiators]], heavily outnumbering the defending [[Andurien Heavy Guard]] and the [[Twelfth Andurien Hussars]]. The task force escorts outnumbered the defending aerospace forces by an equally substantial margin; while the ''Changsha'' and ''Mount Song'' were able to obtain some assistance from two ''[[Carrack]]''-class transports, the four Capellan WarShips faced little chance against four ''[[Atreus (WarShip class)|Atreus]]''-class [[battleship]]s, four ''[[League (WarShip class)|League]]''-class destroyers and the ''[[Soyal]]''-class [[heavy cruiser]] [[Vrishabha|FWLS ''Vrishabha'']]. Between them, the Capellan WarShips managed to cripple the ''Vrishabha'', leaving her to crash into the surface of the moon Mulhacen, but the ''Changsha'', ''Mount Song'' and one of the ''Carracks'' were all destroyed, and the second ''Carrack'' was captured.<ref name="FSWp60"/>
