Class Constellation

=History=
In late 2108 GATO saw the need to replace the aging Defiant Class with two new Dreadnoughts. One regular dreanought and one fighter carrier. A consortium of the companies SAAB Defense Systems (sweden), Mitsubishi (japan), Pioneer Aerospace (canada), BAE Systems (united kingdom) and Volvo Propulsion (sweden) was awarded the contract to build a prototype ship for the new dreadnought. The prototype XED-2XX (eXperimental Earth Dreadnought 2XX) was finished in 2114 and it nearly bankrupted Pioneer Aerospace and they had to sell 60% of its stock to Bombardier. The result was astonishing the prototype had more firepower than its predecessor and was more resilient and had more maneuverability compared the Defiant. GATO was very pleased so the consortium got an order of 5 more ships by 2120 but the first first ship the Constellation was finished early and could be delivered by 2117 and saw battle against the Draconian Confederacy in a small border dispute. The power of the new ship ws very impressive and was able to destroy a draconian mothership with one shot of its main beam weapon. Later the new Constellation class of ship saw battle in the Swarm invasion of the Milky Way and Pegasus.
