General Information

This Destroyer class ship was created to serve as the destructor of the biggest ships. It has all the benefits of the earlier Destroyer ship plus the benefit of an excellent cloaking, and a better initiative. The main achievement when constructing this ship was the introduction of a crystalline infrastructure, thus shielding the occupants from the deadly energy field created by the Light Refraction Technology, and allowing the craft to be manned by human occupants.

Weapons Details

This ship is armed with one of the heaviest gun systems possible to fit on a ship. 3 Neutron torpedoes class IV makes sure that this ship will inflict serious damage to any ship it hits. The torpedoes are like most particle based weapons not guidable, and has to rely on speed and aim to hit its target. Therefor this type charge is best used on the heavy and slow ships in the Battleship and Cruiser class. The velocity of the charge is typically 0.83 +/- 0.01 parsec per hour. The only shortcoming these excellent weapons have is the long reload time. The realoading system utilizes a 5 diameter wide mini cyclotron, and accelerating and collecting particles takes almost an hour to reach full charge.

Defence Details

The craft is well armored with a triple layered metal alloy that can withstand a lot of damage. There are very few weak spots on the craft, which makes up for the somewhat slow agility of this ship. The cloaking system is very advanced and makes this ship the best Destroyer class available. It really outperforms the less sophisticated Devastator. The only shortcoming is the low EMP resistance, mostly caused by the fact that the cloaking nodes act as conduits for the Electro Magnetic Pulses to enter ther vital systems. But thanks to moderns software and shielded UPS the systems can be up and running within an hour, complete with all required diagnostics.

Crew Details

The ships is rather lightly manned compared to other ships of similar size and weaponry. Unlike the Devastator the quarters are spacious and there is a wide variety in the duties that the crew needs to perform. This improves morale and efficiency onboard. The minimum requirements for operating such a ship is 1 (preferably 2) majors. 2 corporals and 3 enlisted. The average crew size is 12 people.

Notes

This ship is a popular target among other ships, it is considered prestigious and glorious to shoot down one of these ships. Have that in mind before purchasing any.
