Moving away from the prevalent doctrine of "Bigger is Better" Alexandra decided to have a frigate designed that was based on the Cygnar chasis, but with advanced systems to allow for a better all around ship. These systems allowed for a ship that hit just as hard as the Mk I, but was faster, more maneuverable, and able to stay in the fight longer.
The draw back to these advanced systems was the lack of resources to make it a ubiquitous design. This new design also did not address the lack of support craft, nor the lack of armament in the rear facing of the ship. Thus, she decided to leave the workhorse of her fleet to be the Mk I and use the seven working models of the more advanced Mk II's as specialized ships to be the point of her fleets thrust.
