Description

Exploratori-Class:

Affiliation: Covenant of the Liberated Celestis/ Libertarian Guardian Fleet
Typ: Destroyer
Number: N/A
Length: 310,5 m
Width: 310,5 m
Height: 71,7 m (ship hull only), 92,52 diameter of the energy core
Engine unit(s):
Sublight engine: Nintusprimil Deilor Primsu
Hyperdrive: Su Deilor Primsu
Hyperdrive system: interstellar
Shield System: Lucidum Ilor
Armament:
1x PGT cal. 20700mm
6x TLT, cal. 350 mm
18x VST, cal. 140 mm
Complement (maximum): 2x hangars with a total of 12 Seraphim (a LGF fighter squadron)
external mooring clamps for 24x cherubim (two squadrons)
Standard Complement: 6x Seraphim aerospace fighter ( half a squadron)
12x Cherubim UERU
Role:
combat enemy fighter ships
long range patrol
long range escort
armed reconnaissance
support of capital ships
Cargo Capacity: -
Specificity:

this class is the prototype of all later LGF ships

at the beginning of the 2nd century AJR (22nd century AD), the Covenant tried to recreate the dreaded Ori warships with this ship class

previously, like most factions in the Milky Way, the Covenant used Ha`taks as the primary ships for the LGF

above all, the legendary energy core of the Ori warships, without which these ships would never have been so powerful, was the main problem

it is for this reason that the oversized fusion reactor was developed that gives the LGF ships their famous shape

the Exploratori-Class thus established the fleet tradition of the Libertarian Guardian Fleet, to build ships with enormous armor, powerful armament, strong engines and mighty shields

that is why the Exploratori class, with the exception of the Metis class of the KDF, which is more of a cruiser due to its size, is also the strongest ship class in the destroyer category

but the Exploratori class is also, again with the exception of the Metis class, the only destroyer of all factions that cannot land on a planet, except on spaceports equipped with landing devices specially developed for these ships, and it is also the most immobile Class of destroyers

to compensate for the immobility, but also in the tradition of the Ori warships, which were battleship-carrier hybrids, the Exploratori-Class is equipped with external docking clamps

also a fleet tradition of the LGF, whose capital ships, with the exception of the Bellunavis battleships, are all equipped with external clamps

in standard missions, the Exploratori class is equipped with six Seraphim aerospace fighters and twelve Cherubim scouts

EDIT 10.12.2020:
The last of the announced size changes for destroyer-type spaceships. Due to the change in size, the number of weapons has of course also changed.
Most importantly, I was able to equip the destroyer with two small hangars. In extreme cases, thanks to the small size of the Seraphim, an entire squadron can be stationed in the hangars, but normally only half a squadron is stationed on board. This leaves space for the maintenance of the Seraphim and small delivery ships can also be dispatched to the hangar.
I also took the opportunity to improve some details on the hull as well as to overhaul the secondary weapon turrets. They should look more like the Ori Staff weapon by now. here is a close-up: sta.sh/01893pslu10b
The rear hatch of a Plostrasinus-Class freighter can be seen in the background.
and for comparison here to the previous design: sta.sh/0212geqkiqf6
