PNS Achmed was a Sultan-class battlecruiser of the People's Navy.

History

In 1908 PD, Achmed was one of eight battlecruisers assigned to Citizen Admiral Javier Giscard's Task Force 29, which was deployed to the Silesian Confederacy to engage in commerce warfare against the Star Kingdom of Manticore. (HH6)

In 1910 PD, the ship served as Citizen Commodore Abraham Jurgens' divisional flagship during an attack on a Manticoran merchant convoy which resulted in what would become known as the Battle of the Selker Rift. After her sister ship Kerebin was destroyed by the Manticoran Q-ship HMAMC Wayfarer, Commodore Jurgens ordered Achmed to engage and destroy Wayfarer. Both ships met for a broadside duel at close range, inflicting massive damage and effectively crippling each other. (HH6)

Achmed suffered both the greater damages and casualties, and she was little more than a drifting airless wreck when a pinnace detached from Wayfarer evacuated her survivors.

Of Achmed's crew of twenty-two hundred, only forty-six, including her commanding officer, survived the final showdown with Wayfarer. (HH6)
