It has participated in numerous battles, most notably the First battle of the Romanya Sea during the South Ecros War where she sank the Illyrian flagship tbd.
VRP Yerikho was laid down in 1935 and launched in 1939 amidts the Creeperian Civil War as a result of fears that that war would spill over to Southern Ecros it's production was made hastly and the ship was already commissioned in 1940, a second ship of her class, the VRP Tirat Har was build in tandem with her, resulting in the availablity to refit her, and so with only a few months at sea, in early 1941 the ship was sent back to the docks to be rifitted, upon completion of her rifit in 1943, her sister ship, VRP Tirat Har was sent to be rifitted as well, and would finish hers in the breaking of the South Ecros War in 1945.
