After defeating an superior species with ships going almost twice or more in speed, the Admiralty have started a new project, giving our Empire a fast capital ship based on the Wellington battlecruiser, out of 5 battlecruisers before the conflict only two survived. The old one seen here, was to slow to even try to catch the enemy capital ships that had a speed of 9600 km/s. The only saving grace were its 400 cell of vertical launchers that managed to crush a counter offensive.

The new Wellington MkII class of Jump Battlecruiser. 5 are planned for 5 squadrons of fast response groups. One bad aspekt is its low fuel levels but they are expected to have a support tanker group or a FOB base, as well as borrowing from its other non jump battlecrusiers. Its missile VLS battery have been reduced to almost 82% of its former size. One thing that almost was our fleets undoing were the Wellingtons inability to target smaller vessels such as gunboats and fighters, we lost 2 Wellingtons in fighter attacks were we couldn't attack back, that has been fixed now.

The Wellington MkIV is escort of this class of battlecruisers its armed with a large laser, AMMs and a large battery of small fighter gauss guns. When admiral Petersen saw its planned layout he only said "Death by a thousand stings!" 10 of these are planned, 2 for each squadron
