General Info: |
The backbone of Earth's military fleet, the Aquatic Class destroyers are multi-role, all-purpose ships designed around Earth's advanced shielding technology and the powerful, though power-hungry, ring guns. Earth's capital ship doctrine favours manouverablity over a small profile and "guns to bear" thinking. This makes their ships look like easy targets to the unwary, but they are capable of taking a lot of punishment, and handing it back! |
