==Description==
As humanity began to make big strides in the galactic scene, it was clear that the Alliance was in need of some new firepower. The Columbia and Los Angeles designs from the UNAS proved their worth, but they were made without the capacity to adapt well to newer advances in mass accelerator technology.
The European Union then researched a new ship design to displace the Columbia and Los Angeles cruisers as a mainstay unit, one that employed recent additions and advancements in mass effect technology that the previous ships weren't designed for. The sleek Stockholm-class not only matched the prior ships, but they also provided a standardized platform from which to handle a myriad of tasks without spending resources to make other ship designs.
Later on as the Systems Alliance began to integrate with the galactic community, the Stockholm added a heavy cruiser variant which boasts more weaponry but otherwise retains the same design overall. It continues to serve today as the mainstay cruiser of the Alliance Navy.
