Orion Class Experimental Destroyer

The Orion Class is an Experimental Destroyer based on the hull of the Andromeda Class Frigate. It incorporates several emerging technologies such as layered or spaced armor, internal thrusters and double layered Conning towers.

The Orion emerged as a drive to uparmor the lighter Andromeda Class Frigate and to test-bed the new technoliges OGSS was working on prior to committing to an entirely new hull.

Much like the Aeschylus Class Corvette the Orion is considered a prow armored assault ship with a heavy rocket frontage and armored "arms." The Orion is expected to face the enemy and weather the storm rather than move past them.

The Orion was introduced on N070220
