"Nothing about the Prometheus?" Miranda put in."No, nothing. No word since they shot their way out of Deralia." She hesitated, then went reluctantly on, "ISN claims a whole Legios squadron was destroyed by GENOM fighters covering their escape."
Maia's fist closed involuntarily on the powered-down fighter's throttle controls. "Which one?"
Emilia hesitated again. "Well... "
"Emi."
"Look, you know this is half propaganda and half - "
"Which one."
"... ISN says it was the Jollies."
Daedalus is mentioned briefly in UF4 Crossroads; she got clear and spent most of the Exile having been hidden in an Undisclosed Location by ReRob. The ship he constructed, WDF Phoenix, which met an unfortunate end during the Second Battle of Zeta Cygni, was originally intended as a sort of external warp propulsion module for Daedalus, but the larger ship wasn't ready in time, so she was left behind and Phoenix went into the battle without her.
After the War of Corporate Occupation, Daedalus was refitted to serve as a WDF Academy training ship. Almost all members of the WDF Armored Cavalry who are trained in space Destroid operations (including orbital drop) cut their teeth aboard Daedalus, as do the Navy personnel who will go on to staff the operational assault ships that carry the Armored Cav when it's for real.
