The Llamrei-class Battlecruiser was a Wayland Shipyards developed ship which dominated the front-line of the Avalon Defense Fleet. While most UEG colonies favoured the cheaper and lighter Marathon-class, Avalon favoured the heavier and more advanced Llamrei produced on Avalon by Wayland Shipyards alongside the Nergal and Red-dragon-class capital ships. While openly willing to construct ships for a lower price in other colonies, Wayland ships were considered impractical due to their cost and construction time though colonies such as Arcadia and New Harmony did possess a few Wayland ships.
