Aegis Tactical Destroyer (level 8)
Tactical destroyer
Tactical destroyers are used for precision strikes, wolf pack strikes and other agressive actions, this requires superior speed and enormous firepower. Surprisingly the Aegis does not sacrifice armor nor range to gain this, however these compact ships have probably the highest price per mass- unit within the TDF, when it comes to a single ship class. The maximum endurance is four months, while the usual missions last one or two months and only half a squadron of fighters forms the ships Air Group, so that not every Aegis DD has its own CAG.
→ half a squadron (10 pilots)
→ COG: Lt. General
→ CO: Colonel
- 0,5 Squadron of fighters (10 pilots)
- 10 Shuttles
- 1 Plasma Accelerator (Spinal)
- 2 medium PACs (extreme long range)
-4 light PAC
- 2 medium Railgun Turrets
- 7 Tachyon/ Plasma Turrets (Plasma -> EMP, Tachyon -> destructive)
- 2 Mass Driver turrets
- 24 Missile Tubes
- 12 heavy Missile tubes
- 20 Interceptor (CIWS) Turrets
price: 8.000.000
Blizzard Destroyer (Level 7)
Destroyer
Normal destroyers like the Blizzard serve mostly as escort ship, guarding convoys, installations or jump nodes and patrols in more dangerous areas. Their endurance is much bigger than that of the smaller ships, but still relatively small, with leaves of three months possible, while the normal departures usually last just one month. Their armament and armor is good, in fact they are better armed than the Endurance- Patrol Cruisers of the TDF. Otherwise the Blizzards are called when the firepower of a Corvette Group is not enough. The armor is strong enought to resist impacts which would destroy any smaller ship, or impacts which would be perilous to a Cruiser, however this comes at the cost of the relatively short range and relatively slow acceleration.
→ 1 or 1,5 squadron(s) (20-30 fighters)
→ COG: Lt. General
→ CO: Colonel
- 1,5 Squadron of fighters (10 pilots)
- 15 Shuttles
- 2 light PACs
- 4 Plasma Mortars (EMP)
- 2 light Railgun Turrets
- 8 Tachyon/ Plasma Turrets (Plasma -> EMP, Tachyon -> destructive)
- 24*4 = 96 Missile Tubes
- 4*6= 24 Interceptor Missile Tubes (4 Turrets)
- 36 Interceptor (CIWS) Turrets
Price: 7.000.000
Nephilim class Juggenaut (Level 12)
Juggernaut
The Juggernaut is a modern type of battleship, built for precision strikes, deep strike missions and almost every other kind of attack mission, and therefore the Nephilim class accelerates fast, and has an average maneuverability. The concept is similar to the Aegis Tactical Destroyer, but is also including formidable armor, a maximum space endurance of 2 years (average 3 or 6 month- missions) and 3 squadrons of fighters.
→ 3 Squadrons
→ CO: General/ Commodore
- 1 Heavy PlAC
- 4 Heavy PAC (Ultra Long Range/ Longest Range)
- 24 light PAC
- 5 Plasma Mortars (EMP)
- 4 medium Railgun Turrets
- 8 Tachyon/ Plasma Turrets (Plasma -> EMP, Tachyon -> destructive)
- 2 Mass Driver turrets
- 20 FLAK
- 8*6= 48 Interceptor Missile Tubes (8 Turrets)
- 240 Missile Tubes
- 16 heavy Missile tubes
- 58 Interceptor (CIWS) Turrets
- 18 Laser Interceptors
