Overview
The FedCom Civil War was over with, and the Admiralty has a huge job ahead of it. The AFFS Navy has taken stagering losses. Three Avalon Missile
Cruisers, the Covenant Heavy Cruiser and three Fox Corvettes were all casualities. While the Overlord A-3 will be able to assist the remaining warships of the AFFS, the fleet will have to be rebuilt, but this time it will be more balanced. While the keels of new Avalon and Fox class vessels are being laid plans for other classes of ships being finalized so they too may begin construction. The Durendel Class Destroyer was modified to take into account many of the lessons learned in the civil war and is just now been finalized and cleared for immediate construction.
Capabilities
The Durendel benefited from the Civil War in that it showed the shortcomings of the most modern warships produced. Engineers had a chance to
enhance the Durendel to take advantage of these shortcomings and produce a superior destroyer design for the AFFS Admiralty.
The Durendel's frame was further strengthened to allow the ship to hold a respectable amount of armor. This allowed the her to stay in the thick of
battle much longer than Star League era warships and many modern designs. The ship was also equipped with four Zephyr Model 2 engines that allowed her to
keep up with the Avalon when perforning fleet escort duties or fighting enemy warships. To simplify supply and maintainence for the ship the primary
armament was centered around two different weapons; the Johnston Model M-3 Medium Naval PPC and Federated-25 Series, Model 1c Naval Autocannon. Eighteen of the Naval PPC's and 16 of the Naval Autocannons form the bulk of the ships offensive firepower, giving the ship a mighty bite. The addition of eight Federated Multi-M AR10 Launchers also makes the ship feared by both enemy warships and aerofighters.
The problem of dealing with massed Aerospace Fighters attacks was also addressed. In an effort to correct this problem the Durendel was given a large
number of weapons to deal with fast moving Aerospace Fighters. A incrediable forty-nine BlazeFire Sweetshot ER Large Lasers and twenty-two FarFire Long Range Missile 15 launchers with Artemis IV FCS were installed. This heavy anti-fighter weapons load would surely make any fighter pilot think twice
before trying to close with a Durendel. For defense against incoming enemy capital and standard missiles twenty-two MainFire Point Defense AMS's and twenty-two Sutel Precision Line Small Pulse Lasers were installed.
Deployment
Plans are for eighteen Durendels to be constructed with two assigned to each Avalon Cruiser and the remaining six to be assigned free roving patrol duties.
