The Gettysburg-class cruiser was the Terran Confederation's most modern ship of the line in 2655, following the lineage started by the pre-Kilrathi War battleships and the Concordia-class Supercruisers introduced in the mid-forties. The TCS Austin, a Gettysburg-class ship, served as Vice Admiral Tolwyn's flagship during the defense of Firekka and the First Enigma Campaign. It rescued surviving pilots from the TCS Tiger's Claw after it was ambushed and destroyed by the Kilrathi.
