History
The first Arboreal-Class Colony Ship, the WSV Wyvern, was produced by the Bristol Corporation and the Royal Aeronautics and Space Agency for the upcoming colonisation of New Somerset, on Mars. The first ship brought the first wave of colonists to the newly terraformed planet, alongside other countries colonisation efforts.

Following this, two more Arboreal Classes were comissioned by RASA, for upcoming colonisation and exploration of extra-solar systems, including the Epsilon Ceti System.
