The Colony-class destroyer is a class of eighteen guided-missile destroyers built for the Vionna-Frankenlischian Imperial Navy from 1999 to 2011. Large in size and complement and heavily armed, the Colony-class is a general-purpose warship designed to serve as flagships of small squadrons or as part of larger colonial stations. Eighteen were constructed for Imperial service with seventeen still in service. One, HMNS Kenega, was lost in action during the San Rositan invasion of Kenega.
