Gaia Albatross
These ships were developed based on plans for the cancelled "Challenger" Class Light Cruiser, and used for misc. picket and troop deployment duties, and were the main cruisers charged with driving out the ISC in 2296-2297. Their Bridge Modules were based on Pharris and Indomitable-Class Bridges, and in addition, they had a Sky Bridge for Strategic Coordination of their Squadron, and lengthened, bolstered Torpedo Launchers firing the stronger FP-4.
The Class was named for an Albatross made in a Poem by Emily Warner in 2075 celebrating first contact with the Vulcans, and for rising up and spreading out t other worlds, symbolizing hope and optimism, and the Class was built at Andor at a rate of 2 per year.
