Delhi WarShips smuggled the plans for both the ''[[Vincent]]''-class corvette and the ''Essex I'' out of the [[Amaris Empire]] and restarted production of both classes at their Capella shipyards. Delhi's actions were condemned by both Stefan Amaris and [[Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|Commanding General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] over the blatant misuse of intellectual property belonging to the Star League, but neither was in a position to be able to do anything about it at the time. Production continued unabated at the Capella shipyards, building up a substantial navy for the Confederation, although both classes were somewhat underweight and outdated in comparison to the other fleets active at the time.<ref name="FR2765:Pp30+">''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', pp. 30–31: "Essex I (Destroyer)"</ref>+ Despite the problems with the ''Soyal'', including the sheer size of the design because of the demands placed upon it - a size comparable to a number of battlecruiser and battleship designs - the Capellan Confederation saw the ''Soyal'' as an opportunity to modernise its black water navy, and purchased a number of the design.
