The FS Annesburg was a Federation-registered ocean liner that was torpedoed by the Imperial Altish Navy during the Great War, about 350 miles northeast of Frejia, whose ports it was bound for. The attack took place in a declared maritime war-zone that was contested at the time, and the passengers had been warned prior to departing Canaan of the dangers.
