HMS Quentin Saint-James was an Edward Saganami-C-class heavy cruiser of the Royal Manticoran Navy. It was nicknamed Jimmy Boy.
History
Named after Admiral Quentin Saint-James, it was nicknamed Jimmy Boy by its crew. The name was previously given to a Edward Saganami-A-class heavy cruiser, but that ship was given to the Caliphate of Zanzibar to help rebuild its fleet. Zanzibar renamed the ship, releasing the name back to the RMN for its use on the new C-class ship.
In 1921, it was assigned to the Talbott Quadrant as Commodore Sir Aivars Terekhov's flagship in Cruiser Squadron 94, and fought in the Battle of Spindle early the following year. (SI2, HH12)
In mid-1922 PD, Commodore Terekhov took the Quentin Saint-James to the Mobius System to intervene in the conflict between the local resistance movement and the Solarian intervention battalions supporting President Svein Lombroso. When the Solarian commanding officer, Brigadier General Francisca Yucel, refused to stand down and threatened to kill a soccer stadium full of hostages, Terekhov had the ship's crew fire a "Damocles" kinetic strike package at her compound from orbit, leveling the building and killing both Yucel and Lombroso.
