UES Wellington

The UES Wellington was a Taurus Ark-class colony ship, built and launched by United Earth from Europa in 2097 as part of the Taurus Program, a colony operation to the distant 34Tauri(2020)-system. The Wellington tragically was the victim of sabotage, resulting in her anti-matter core losing containment and exploding. All 600,000 colonists onboard were killed instantly.

Trivia
The Wellington was named for the capital city and second most populous urban area of New Zealand.
