Sorry if I missed this, but I was reading Kill Zone today and reached the novella Arms of the Destroyer. In it there is reference to the Draconis Combine having a vigilant class corvette and the Lyran Commonwealth having a Commonwealth class cruiser as late as 2940.
It's always been my understanding that the LCS Invincible was the last major Lyran warship and that just prior to it's loss in 2843 it destroyed the last four Combine warships. The last Mako corvette was also destroyed in 2841.
Now I can follow that the LCS Invincible is not listed as the last warship, just the last major warship - but I would assume that a Commonwealth class cruiser would constitute a major warship. While the Combine has no warships after 2843 according to the lore I know.
Yet almost 100 years later this story has both a major cruiser operating for the Lyran Commonwealth and the Combine has a corvette under an undistinguished officer. This seems to conflict with my understanding of the lack of warships by this point.
Can someone clarify if this has been formally retconned and I just missed it?
