The second was the lead ship of the Concordia class supercruisers during the first two decades of the Kilrathi War. She was Commodore Geoffrey Tolwyn's flagship from 2645 through the early 2650s until her loss or replacement sometime before 2660.

Namesake

The Concordias were named after Concordia University in Austin, Texas, where Wing Commander developer Origin Systems Inc. was based until 2004. The word Concordia is from Latin; it means accord or harmony, and as such is a popular name for religious colleges in the United States.
There is also a possibility of name's origin from the battle of Concord (given that other Confederation carriers are named Lexington or Agincourt)
