The Wiltshire was apart of the detachment led by the U.S.S. Roanoke (SDD-1081) from the Imperial 4th Colonial Fleet sent to rescue the C.S.V. Nile Road (TC-26) at Van Gaal VI.
The Wiltshire provided close support to Sabre Squadron and came to the aid of Captain Webster at one point.
However soon after the Wiltshire fell victim to the newly discovered Dakota super-cannons, her forward hull was ripped off and the aft sections quickly disintegrated in the space of three seconds.
She was lost with all hands.
