==History==
The ''[[Thera]]''-class carrier FWLS (later: ODS) '''''Santorini''''' was under construction in [[3059]] and was due to enter service with the [[Free Worlds League]] black water navy in [[3060]], becoming the first-of-class vessel of her class. Also under construction at the time were a pair of [[Eagle (WarShip class)|''Eagle'']]-class frigates intended to serve as escorts for the ''Santorini'', the [[Galahad (Individual Eagle-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Galahad'']] and [[Lancelot (Individual DropShip)|FWLS ''Lancelot'']].<ref name="FM:FWLp119">''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 119, "Renovation/Construction"</ref>

All three ships were still serving together in [[3067]].<ref name="FM:Up144">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 144, "Ships Of The FWL"</ref> As the Free Worlds League disintegrated during the [[Jihad]] the renamed ODS ''Santorini'' and her associated battle group were the center of the defense of [[Oriente]] within the [[Duchy of Oriente]] when it was invaded by [[Principality of Regulus|Regulan]] forces in April [[3071]]. The battle group pushed the Regulans out of the Oriente system and managed to capture the ''[[Zechetinu]]''-class corvette [[Attica|RPS ''Attica'']] during the engagement.<ref name=SIB>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', p. 27, "Sieging is Believing"</ref><ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', pp. 27-28, "A World Too Far"</ref><ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 15, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref>

On 12 March [[3079]], a raid conducted by [[Word of Blake]] forces specifically targeted the ''Santorini'' using the recently captured ''Zechetinu''-class [[Acari|ODS ''Acari'']] as a trojan horse. The raid left the ''Santorini'' with a crippled jump drive, severely limiting her mobility.<ref name="J:FRp60">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 60, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> The Blakists destroyed or crippled more than half of the [[Duchy of Oriente]] WarShip fleet as well as the recently constructed naval docks.<ref>''Field Report: FWLM'', p. 6, "Infrastructure Integrity"</ref>

According to a [[Field Manual: 3145|report]] from [[3145]], the ''Santorini'' (misnamed as the ''Delos'')<ref>According to [https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=33062.msg769479#msg769479 official errata] for ''Field Manual: 3145'', ''"As there has been some confusion and contradictory errata statements, the stranded WarShip is the ''Santorini'' and it remains above Oriente. All references to the ''Delos'' should be omitted."''</ref> remains stranded in orbit around Oriente; while incapable of using its jump drive, it still houses an aerospace wing for system defense.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 101</ref>
