While they performed their intended function admirably, the cost of replacing them was too prohibitive. After both the manufacturer and the majority of the ships were destroyed during the [[Amaris-Kerensky Civil War]], the ''Colossus'' was replaced by the smaller yet just as capable ''[[Excalibur (DropShip class)|Excalibur]]'', at half the cost.

During the [[Jihad]], a [[Federated Suns]] repair shipyard in orbit of [[Firgrove]] named [[Clyde Shipyards]] began building the ancient design once more for the [[AFFS]].
