Description

Infinity Quest is an original work of mine I've been working on and developing for the last 18 years now! If you'd like to read the first book in the series, you can find it here: www.amazon.com/Infinity-Quest-…


BIO:
Featured above are the E.C.C Naval Star Vehicles (from closest to farthest) E.C.C Lawrence J Hearn 122, E.C.C Yukon 093, and E.C.C Yuma 127, which were performing drills when the stricken Kestrel Class Freighter, the ASMV Sakura Q9980, suffered catastrophic failure of her Field Dissipator and was forced to an emergency drop from Quickspace, severely damaging her Main Drive. Spotting the vessel in distress, the Lawrence J Hearn, Yukon, and Yuma activated their Navigation lights, assessed the freighter and crew, and lead her under her own power to the nearest Starport where the Sakura underwent assessment and eventual repairs.

Unlike the Heavy Cruisers of humanity's navy, the Earth and Colonial Command (E.C.C), which have a prestigious pedigree as Earth's original deep space explorers, the Destroyers of the E.C.C were later innovations designed exclusively for strategic usage for armed and naval/policing service. As such, whereas Heavy Cruisers are symbolically named after wagons meant for exploration, the Destroyers are given much more direct Class Names: the modern 7-10 class proceeding the likes of the 6-92, 5-84, 4-76, ect, and are far more numerous within the fleet. Just as their benevolent protectors within the UCASC, Humanity's E.C.C employ equally diverse designs within their own navy. The most common candidates for variations and experimental redesigns are more often the Destroyers, resulting in a wide array of Destroyer classes; which are routinely commissioned, resigned, decommissioned, and replaced or recycled into new classes.

Destroyers are named after military installations or historical Officers such as Meredith, Gearing, Saufley, etc, while each class is given a numerical designation, such as 7-10, 6-92, 5-84, 4-76, 3-68, 2-50 due to the frequent and rapid production of Destroyers.

Due to the frequent rate at which Destroyers are selected for experimental redesign, refit, and overhauling, many classes support spaceframes or chassis from older or different classes. Innovation among their designs is common, and a hyper modular design has prevented any one specific class, save for the 0-34 Class, from being rendered entirely decommissioned or obsolete. Instead, vehicles are decommissioned based on the age of the spaceframe against its combat effectiveness, and often auctioned into civilian markets when they are no longer within military performance thresholds.

The 6-92b Missile Destroyer is one such example of the reuse and redesign among the existing spaceframes within the E.C.C's Navy, being one of the more minor reworks Destroyers can see, taking a Standard 6-92 Class Destroyer and overhauling the internals of her forward section to support suites of detection equipment and rapid reaction & quick deploy missiles for screening operations, and punching above their weight class to soften larger targets for heavier ship classes.

The roles of a Destroyer include:
(1) Escorting larger vehicles
(2) Commerce Protection
(3) Provide multi-mission offensive and defensive capabilities
(4) Anti-Missile and Anti-Drone Operations
(5) Independent Operation
(6) Screening damage to larger vehicles which Barrier Ships fail to absorb
(7) Enhancing or supplementing Energy Barriers/ Projected Armor of a Formation
(8) Long Endurance pursuit, harassment, or destruction of larger strategic targets
(9) Depleting or Fatiguing Defenses Systems of an enemy vehicle or installation
(10) Supporting or commencing the initial engagement of enemy forces, and preventing FTL-Retreat from a combat area
(11) Medium to Long distance transport of Military, Visiting, or Diplomatic personnel

A Destroyer is non-eligible as a flagship of a Battlegroup or Fleet Operations for a Designated Command Officer (DCO). An Officer (of no less than Lievtenant Commander) may be given command of a Destroyer Squadron or Mixed Task Group of equal or lesser tonnage stellar vehicles.
