Description
Solaris class destroyer:

Operating branch: U.O.D.F (Union Oceanic Defence Force)

Length: 190ft

Width: 35ft

Propulsion: mark 2 fusion reactor, driving 2 propellers

Speed: 65 knots

Range: technically unlimited though every 50 years the fusion reactors needs top ups of fuel, supplies are generally transferred in port though they can be air lifted to the ship when on active duty.

Crew: 180 Union personnel

Sensors and AI: the Solaris uses a Mark 3 central AI with 2 Mark 4 targeting AIs for combat system purposes. Its sensors include Mark 2 Guardian sensors which link with any other Guardian sensor modules to create a net. Anything within this net can be monitored and detected. The Solaris itself also contains a small dimensional sensor suite able to detect everything within 900 miles of it even if cloaked or phased etc. The Solaris can also use its AI to block enemy RADAR effectively giving it a non visible stealth capability and it is also able to attack other electronic equipment in a 25 mile radius disrupting, destroying or taking over the piece of gear.

Armament: 1 twin 6inch Mass driver capable of 30 rounds a minute range of up to 70 miles. 2 long range Laser projectors capable of 30 second sustained beams before recharging, these have targeting ability's allowing them to rapidly engage air targets and start engaging them as soon as they come onto the horizon. Effective for 120 miles before beam refraction renders the beam useless. 1 Hellfire vertical launch missile system capable of intercepting air units and other Missiles with MK 278 Gauge Missiles or other targets (ships, Ground targets etc.) with MK 78 Raptor missiles, this also integrates Nano assemblers giving the ship an unlimited Missile use capability. This Hellfire launcher can also fire S.T.R.I.K.E missiles (Swift Transit Radar Immune Kiloton Explosive) giving the Solaris first strike ICBM capability. 10 point defence twin cascade cannons for close in defence.

The Solaris destroyer is the principle Air defence ship of Union ocean faring fleets and it provides a impenetrable anti air no fly zone using its Laser projectors and Hellfire launcher to clear the sky's along with its 10 twin cascade cannons which can rapidly shoot down other missiles or aircraft. Most Solaris class destroyers accompany other Union ships like cruisers and larger to defend them but they are also used as capable multi role vessels that can attack and support ground operations. The Solaris can also in the event of Ballistic Missile attack (Or planetary attack) either retaliate with its complement of S.T.R.I.K.E. missiles or shoot the ballistic missiles down with its considerable anti air capability.
