The second class of [[WarShip]] to bear the name, the '''''Essex'''''-class destroyer (also known as '''''Essex II''''') was designed in response to the [[Star League]] Navy's request for a quick destroyer that could also make sustained voyages far from support, replacing the older ''[[Baron (WarShip class)|Baron]]'', ''[[Carson (WarShip class)|Carson]]'', and the ''[[Naga (WarShip class)|Naga]]''-class which had in turn replaced the original [[HAF]] era ''[[Essex I]]''-class in [[2645]].<ref name="TRO:3057Rp138"/>

The modern SLS ''Essex'' slipped its moorings from the [[Mitchell Vehicles]] shipyards above [[Graham IV]] in late [[2711]]. Because its designers had wished to emphasize the vessel's swiftness and reliability, they had given it three compact and dependable [[lnterSystem Class VII]] [[Interplanetary Drive System|engines]], built by the [[Saro Company]] of [[Keid]], which produce great thrust. The ship's computer systems were built by the [[Nirasaki Computers Collective]], allowing the ''Essex''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crew to do everything from monitor remote surveillance satellites to orchestrating corvette squadrons.<ref name="TRO:3057Rp138"/> The class's [[Diamond Green Combat Computer]] was simple and reliable, prized traits among the SLDF admirals. Mitchell Vehicles began upgrading the systems in the 2740s to their [[Diamond Plum]] combat computer, which was able to handle more coordinated tasks and targets for the ship's weapons but required specialized training.<ref name=TRO2750-128/>
