Its few orbital insertion tests were carried out on Titan, the first taking place two months after the declaration of martial law in the Saturnian colonies in 2320. In the months leading up to the First Stellar War, FA-2 production was dramatically increased, leading to a well-received public announcement on July 19th 2327.
