The **Bellona Class Light Cruiser** was a class of Light Cruisers initially used by the Winged Hussars after the fall of the CDF, later used by the Confederated Pioneer Republic after the Winged Hussars and Remington Company merged. There is currently only one hull of the Bellona Class that is in use, Bellona "Alles Bellator".

## History

### **Preseason - Post Belt War**

After the fall of the CDF and the conclusion of the Belt War, the Winged Hussars found themselves without work and with significant cruiser forces. As one of the core Light Cruisers in their fleet, the Bellona Class Light Cruiser saw multiple engagements from the time after the Belt War.

Designed as a lance cruiser, it focused on long ranged engagements with its 1000mm lance, as a supporting Light cruiser to either a heavier formation, or for long ranged support.

Initially with the engagement of Winged Hussars and Phoenix Initiative forces, it saw battle against forces of EATO, the coalition of forces of the Maxwell Corp, Valkyrie Pioneer Company, and Powder Keg Marauders (later renamed Powder Keg Militia). The Bellona class CL was used as one of the core cruisers uses to engage EATO forces, including pushing and destroying Maxwell Corps' HQ, along with forcing the surrender of the VPC, and capturing territory from PKM.

As one of the front running ships spearheading the push into PKM territory, "Alles Bellator" accompanied Remington in the initial push into PKM territory before the Preseason offensive ended.

It would then see reassignment to the newly minted Atlas squadron, and remain with it into the Supremacy War. However, it would see a minor combat action, after a group of pirates from an organization simply known as the "Black Hawk Association (BHA)" made off with CDF reserve vessels, from the 1st fleet held Enfield Drydock. These CDF Vessels, along with an unknown vessel, labeled as a "Jolly Roger" would be destroyed before they could escape.

### Supremacy War

With the offensive launched by the newly formed Pioneer Military Alliance (PMA), "Alles Bellator" and Atlas squadron would see multiple major engagements throughout the Supremacy War.

As one of the major squadrons on the front lines of the first 2 waves of the Supremacy war's initial invasions, Atlas first fought off the attack on 3B, and successfully killed the Ravager Class Battleship, and helped kill the majority of the escort. It would then see action in the first battle for the 3A shipyard, where it would help defeat the majority of the Khan squadron protecting the Rider shipyard and FOB, before the shipyard was ordered to be destroyed.

Atlas squadron, and Alles Bellator would see very little combat for the remainder of the war, but the achievements they made early on the war made them legends. Alles Bellator at this time remains in service at the end of Season 3.
