Cruiser Squadron 9 was a tactical unit of the People's Navy. Until 1905 PD it comprised six Scimitar- class heavy cruisers. In 1905 PD, the squadron was sent on a mission to ambush a Manticoran convoy on the way to the Grendelsbane System. The squadron lost three of its six ships with another one damaged, when the Manticoran escort's senior officer, Captain Zilwicki, engaged Peolpe's Navy to protect the convoy. As the result the entire Manticoran escort was destroyed, but the five convoyed ships managed to escape. (HH3)
