The Aelos functioned as a blockade frigate and was an asset of the Nikardun Destiny. The Nikardun had positioned this frigate at the Paccosh homeworld of Rapacc within the Rapacc system; however, after the defeat of General Yiv of the Nikardun Destiny, the Paccosh seized control of it. Subsequently, Uingali foar Marocsaa of the Marocsaa subclan assumed command of the ship, and the chimaera, which represented the Marocsaa, was painted onto the ship's bottom.
