Berlin class Starships

In 2153 the Systems Alliance launched the Berlin class, a second generation cruiser named after the capital of Germany. While the first spaceships of Earth were relatively clunky and ungraceful, the Berlin class represents an enormous improvement in the fleet-wide upgrades after the discovery of the Prothean ruins on Mars. Learned from the Prothean knowledge about Mass Effect fields and Element Zero, the Berlin was the first military capital Starship with a hullsize Mass Accelerator Cannon and faster than lightspeed engines.

The Berlin is a 650 meter long warship and holds a crew of around 320 + 50 Marines. The two shuttlebays holds also up to 12 Fighter or Shuttles.
She completed her first combat experience in the first contact war against the Turians.
In 2185, after over 30 Years in active service, the Berlin class is decommissioned and replaced by the more modern York class cruiser. But some newer constructed Berlins were refited and act now as light Cruisers in the Alliance fleet.

It is known, that the pro-human organization Cerberus is in the possession of Berlin class cruiser too. In 2186, at least three of them are part of the battle at Omega against a fleet of Adjutant creatures which escaped the secret facility beyond the Omega-4 relay.
