Galatea class (WESU Upgrade) heavy cruiser
The United Worlds Commonwealth
Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Galatea class of heavy cruisers were the first class of heavy cruisers built for the UWC and are amongst the oldest warships still in service with the UWC fleet. Due to the slow pace of new construction the Galatea class vessels were subject to the now standard WESU upgrade and all remaining vessels of this class have been brought up to this standard.
