CSV Pandorica SHA-1 (Super Heavy Assault-1) was a Pandorica-class superdreadnought in the Systems Coalition Navy. It was the head of its class, and one of the most advanced warships of its time. Part of a larger effort to ultra-modernize the Coalition's naval forces, the CSV Pandorica was initially the only existing vessel of its class, assigned to the Dominion Eleventh Fleet as the flagship of Fleet Admiral Awarnach Stanford. The Pandorica served as further proof that the concept was feasible, leading to four sister ships being built between 2233 CE and 2247 CE.
The Pandorica single-handedly destroyed a Covenant battlegroup at the Battle of Feros in 2251 CE during the Terra-Rannochian War. It continued as Stanford's flagship right up to the Dominion Civil War, where it managed to evade pursuing DDF ships for the entirety of the conflict, where it periodically performed asset denial of crucial Dominion installations. When the war was brought to a close, it continued to evade UGR forces right up until the UGR trapped it in the Ming system, deploying a large fleet to destroy it. The UGR forces were unaware that Stanford had set up a trap however, and the Pandorica was destroyed when Stanford FTL'd it into Ming's star, detonating its massive payload of thermonuclear and antimatter warheads in an explosion that wiped out the entire star system, including the UGR task force.
