Through Struggle, the Stars
Anjian is a Paltus-class destroyer constructed at the orbital shipyards above Novaya Rodina.
The vessel was purchased by China in the 2130s, using Kazakhstan as an intermediary.
The vessel is crewed by PLA Star Navy regulars but commanded by officers from the Ministry of State Security and operates covertly in international space.
In October 2139, the ship was orbiting Commonwealth when it was ordered to bombard a Taiwan Liberation Congress training camp on the surface.
When members of the Congress' leadership attempted to escape to Earth on the USS San Jacinto, the Anjian attacked the American ship,
but was defeated and destroyed. The battle was regarded as one of the immediate causes of the United States siding with Japan in the Sino-Japanese conflict.
