Specificity:
Destroyer, first developed for the Hebridean SDF, but now widely used
unlike the Dionadair Class, this class of ship is no longer a cooperative project between the Tech Con Group and Iomach Compan.
but entirely a Tech Con project, with Iomach Compan.'s new subsidiary, Iomach Gravimetric, acting as a supplier of gravimetric systems, navigation sensors, etc.
the Blàr-Class, like all destroyer-type ships, is a versatile class of ship, suitable for both offensive and defensive operations, for combat against fighters as well as capital ships, etc.
as a patrol destroyer, however, the Blàr-Class belongs to a subtype of the destroyer ship type, in which greater attention was paid to engine performance
this destroyer subtype is mainly used to protect trade routes, to protect scattered trading outposts and to support damaged ships
the Blàr-Class is equipped for this purpose, on the one hand, with a Tech Con HigEn 2020/83 hyperdrive, which this class of ship has in common with the Vaselov-Class destroyers
in order to save energy, the hyperdrive of the Blàr-Class, in contrast to the Vaselov-Class, is additionally equipped with a range limiter
this ensures that the Blàr-Class is only suitable for interstellar flights, but can still use the acceleration and top speed values of the intergalactic engine
in addition, as primary sublight engine, a Tech Con DI 21 ion drive, a high-performance engine usually used for courier ships
however, since these are smaller and lighter than destroyers, a gravimetric engine from Iomach Gravimetric, the TCG 01, which was newly developed especially for Tech Con, was also installed as a secondary sublight engine
the TCG 01 is primarily used for mass reduction and flight control and is only used directly to propel the ship in an emergency
the combination of these two engines makes the Blàr-Class the fastest and most rapidly accelerating warship class of the Union (calculated to interstellar distances)
in fact, only the Koz-Class of the Lucian Alliance has better acceleration and top speed values, however, all LDPD ships are designed for speed
the armament of the Blàr-Class must be classified as average for a destroyer
and even this standard armament was only possible because the volume of the ship was increased by a ventral bulge
otherwise the engines and the systems needed for them, especially the power generators, would have left hardly any room for the weapon systems
this leads to the strange sight that the Blàr-Class, in contrast to the usual design at Tech Con, does not have a smooth underside but a visible "belly"
and that the Blàr Class is one of the few warship classes that cannot retract its weapons (IUSP comparison)
all in all, however, the Blàr-Class is a successful design that is gladly used by worlds that, like Hebridan, are extremely dependent on secure trade and supply routes
usually these ships are therefore not only stationed in their respective home system
but, as seen in the example of Hebridan-SDF, dispersed among several trading outposts and customs stations spread across the entire Hebridan sector and sector cluster
from here they patrol the hyperspace routes,
control the cargo ships approaching the trading stations, thus eliminating the need to control these ships in the Hebridan system, which relieves the ships and control units there
they also defend the trading stations
and respond to calls for help from damaged ships
and the Blàr class, despite its seeming specialisation in trade route protection, is a fully-fledged capital ship and can definitely be used for military defence against other capital ships
however, in the case of destroyers, it has become common for SDFs to combine different classes of this type of ship
Therefore, most SDFs used Vaselov- and Blàr-Class destroyers, sometimes together with one or two other destroyer classes, such as the Mequ'sakmoc class,
the Vaselov-Class is usually used as a flagship and heavy combat unit
while the Blàr-Class serve large-scale space monitoring (the Mequ'sakmoc-Class as the third would then act as a medium-weight class between the other two)
the ship shown here is a unit of the Hebridan SDF, as can be seen from the fact that this ship bears the national flag of the IUSP as national emblem and not the Great Seal of the IUSP, which is usually used for this purpose
this is a, purely symbolic, privilege of the SDFs of the founding worlds of the IUSP, such as Hebridan, Tau`ri, Chulak, etc.
only the ships belonging to one of the founding worlds and defending it may bear the national flag as a national emblem
even the ships of the United Space Operation Command, as the space fleet of the Federal Government, are prohibited from carrying the national flag as a national emblem.
this privilege for the founding worlds is a promise to the other member worlds, but also a reminder to the founding worlds that these worlds will always stand up for the values of the Union, will always put the common cause above their own interests and will selflessly defend the values of the Union as well as the Union itself
