Intended as a Vanguard Cruiser it was converted into Colonial (Battle) Cruiser status during the 5th Frontier

their computer systems AI's resulting in crew death, giving the ship a bad name sake.

The Orlando class was refitted by the commonwealth with a TL16 power plant improving jump fuel usage,
 armour, additional missiles, additional drop capsules, improved sensors and communications, additional EP
