Once the end of the Xanthian Order was near, all remaining ships were decommissioned as part of a comprehensive review of the ships, kickstarting phase 5. During this phase, it was decided to scrap the damaged 90-gun ''Voyager'', and convert the 3 remaining 4-gun sloops for commercial use. At this point, the two remaining 24-gun 6th rates, ''XNS Atlas'' and ''XNS Aries'' were drydocked for conversion into 30-gun 6th rates of the [[Atlas class]] in accordance to new building protocol that required upgrading any design from previous years. This involved substantial widening of the hull to improve stability, and rebuilding of the stern galleries. Mast configurations were also slightly changed to give greater efficiency and for a more realistic look. ''XNS Atlas'' remains the oldest ship in the navy to date.

This involved substantial widening of the hull to improve stability, modernizing of the stern galleries, and re-rigging the ships. Mast configurations were also slightly changed to give greater efficiency and for a more realistic look. ''XNS Atlas'' remains the oldest ship in the navy to date.


The other remaining phase  
The other remaining phase 3 ship in the Xenian Navy XNS ''Pacific'', was sold off to [[The Coalition]] in early 2018, but later brought back to Xenia for conversion into the 36-gun ''Cerberus''-class XNS ''Certaurus'', and remains the second oldest ship in the navy, dating back to early 2016.


Large scale plans for a new navy were drawn up to coincide with the construction of the new port Xenia. These included the addition new 30 and 26-gun 6th rates, 36-gun 5th rates, 54-gun 4th rates, 74 and 80-gun 3rd rates, 98-gun 2nd rates, and 120-gun 1st rates.
