History[[edit]]
During the Battle of Antares, a large Sontaran task force commanded by Fleet Marshal Stentor was led by a Linx-class cruiser. The mission was to strike at a Rutan base on Antares whilst the Rutan fleet had been drawn away into a deadly trap set by the Sontarans in the Unukalhai system. However, the Fifth Doctor and his allies had foiled the trap and notified the Rutans.
In the ensuing battle, the Linx-class cruiser took damage from the enemy forces, as well as sabotage by a Rutan spy. Stentor was killed in action, and General Skelp assumed command. With reactors failing, he turned his vessel into a battering ram against the Rutan base. The detonation of the vessel's reactors destroyed the base and much of both warring fleets.
