Yeah, I believe it was the Ships of the Galaxy Vol 2 that came up with the name Avenger Class for the Reliant. The old FASA designation was Reliant Class. I, for one, always felt that FASA took the cheap way out by naming it that. Just because the Reliant was the only ship we saw, doesn't mean it's the first ship of the class and therefore the class namesake.
Well, at least they also made the class that the Reliant was refit from (the Anton).
