Affiliation:	Galactic Empire
Type:	Destroyer
Length:	170 metres
Width:	38 metres
Height:	47 metres

This Imperial destroyer (Japanese:駆逐艦) design served as the standard destroyer design of Imperial fleets from the late stages of the FPA-Imperial War to at least 801 UC (3 NIC / 492 IC / 3601 CE).

Design

The standard Imperial destroyer design mounts its weapons in the forward hull, with the rear hull being dedicated to the two engines.

Its cannon armament comprises at least 52 beam cannons in the ship's prow, divided into four cells of 13 cannons each. In addition, the ship mounts multiple missile launchers equipped with missiles of various types, including two box launchers in the prow (located in between the cannon mountings) with 6 missile tubes each, two missile tubes mounted on the ventral section of the forward hull facing forward, multiple missile tubes on the port and starboard sides of the forward hull, and no less than 16 additional missile tubes facing facing rearward on the dorsal section. (LOGH: 'The Battle of Vermilion (Part One)', 'The Magician Doesn't Come Back')

In addition, the Imperial destroyer embarks a pair of Valkyrie fighters in the ventral side. (LOGH: 'Admiral Yang's Ark Fleet')

Role and Capabilities

Imperial Destroyers were utilized in fleet engagements and as patrol ships. (LOGH: 'Admiral Yang's Ark Fleet', 'Seeking a Free Universe')
