Wellington Class Frigates require an somewhat large amount of energy and materials to produce, and a single frigate is capable of taking on starfighters and smaller warships on its own when it is alone, but in fleets it is expected to see 5 of them or more. All are capable of carrying a Bluespace Drive and a Cavitation Governor, but the only ones currently equipped are the SFV Wellington and the SFV Salisford
