Destroyer

Destroyers are a type of playable starship which are the mid-point between Escorts and Cruisers in terms of maneuverability and survivability. They have a tactical focus and seven weapon slots, and endgame destroyers can equip Experimental Weapons. They are available for all factions, but are more commonly found in the ranks of Klingon playable starships in the form of Nausicaan vessels.

Warships and Juggernauts are similar to destroyers, except they have 8 weapon slots, and thus cannot equip Experimental Weapons.

All destroyers and warships have either 2 or 3 device slots and gain a bonus +10 to 15 weapons power and +5 to another system, often engine power.

Overview

Others
Starships similar to Destroyers and Warships include Warbird Destroyers and Juggernauts.

Vandal Destroyer
The Vandal Destroyer is a Commander (Tier 3) level Klingon Destroyer. The Vandal is of Nausicaan design, borrowing design elements from vessels such as the Talon Battleship and the Scourge Destroyer. Nausicaans tend to design their ships with vertical, rather than horizontal, orientation and the Vandal is no different. Symmetrically identical from middle to top and middle to bottom, the ship features thin hull lines on the central section and, perhaps its most distinguishable feature, the long-swept tail that effectively doubles its overall length. In comparison to the Klingon Raptors, the Vandal Destroyer has a better turn rate and more survivability options available to it.

Scourge Destroyer
The Scourge Destroyer is a Captain (Tier 4) level Klingon Destroyer. The Scourge Destroyer is as ruthless as it is elegant, and borrows a lot of its design from the Vandal. The main differences between the Scourge and the Vandal are that the Scourge has sweeping hull wings on the port and starboard side of the ship and the entire upper-half of the hull is longer and is generally more beefed up.

Krenn Temporal Destroyer
The Krenn Temporal Destroyer is a 29th Century Timeship recovered from the Tholian Assembly. Most of the advanced technology from these ships have been stripped, and have been replaced with contemporary equipment. The Krenn Class Temporal Destroyers are not only from the future, but they also appear to be from the Mirror Universe. They are very similar to the Korath Temporal Science Vessels, however, as a mirror universe ship, it is built more for combat. This ship, and its counterparts, have drifted through the spacial rift located in the Azure Nebula.

Peghqu' Heavy Destroyer
The Peghqu' Heavy Destroyer is a Tier 5 (Lieutenant General) level Klingon Destroyer. It is similar to a Raptor, but it is much more versatile. The Starfleet Corps of Engineers are not the only elite group working on new starships. An engineering team at the Empire Shipyards have designed a heavy ship with increased maneuverability that is nimble enough to outmaneuver a cruiser but strong enough to take a barrage from an escort. Only experienced ship commanders with the backing of the High Council will have the chance to fly this ship. The Peghqu' has a similar design to that of a Raptor, only is more boxed-in and features more exposed lighting elements on the hull.

Scourge Destroyer Retrofit
The Scourge Destroyer Retrofit is an upgraded version of the standard Scourge Destroyer, but is upgraded with more modern technoloy. The general systems layout is similar to that of the Somraw Raptor Retrofit, but features a higher turn rate and power to engines.

Fleet Scourge Destroyer Retrofit
The Fleet Scourge Destroyer Retrofit is an upgraded version of the standard Scourge Destroyer, but is upgraded with more modern technoloy. The general systems layout is similar to that of the Somraw Raptor Retrofit, but features a higher turn rate and power to engines. The Fleet Scourge Destroyer replaces the Ensign Engineering with an Ensign Science Bridge Officer station, and adds an additional Science Console slot as well as stronger hull and shield strength.

Fleet Peghqu' Heavy Destroyer
The Peghqu' Heavy Destroyer is a Tier 5 (Lieutenant General) level Klingon Destroyer. It is similar to a Raptor, but it is much more versatile. The Starfleet Corps of Engineers are not the only elite group working on new starships. An engineering team at the Empire Shipyards have designed a heavy ship with increased maneuverability that is nimble enough to outmaneuver a cruiser but strong enough to take a barrage from an escort. Only experienced ship commanders with the backing of the High Council will have the chance to fly this ship. The Peghqu' has a similar design to that of a Raptor, only is more boxed-in and features more exposed lighting elements on the hull. The Fleet Peghqu' receives an additional Engineering console slot as well as stronger overall shield and hull strengths.

Guramba Siege Destroyer
The Guramba Siege Destroyer is comparable in many ways to the heavy raptor, though it has slightly weaker defenses and more firepower. A Nausicaan built ship, the Guramba has an imposing, almost insect-like appearance. While the Guramba lacks a cloaking device, it has the ability to reconfigure into siege mode where its firepower is increased and it is able to fire its disruptor.

Kolasi Siege Destroyer
The Tier 6 Kolasi Siege Destroyer was built upon the success of the devastating Nausicaan Guramba Siege Destroyer. Like its predecessor, it can enter Siege Mode, a battle configuration designed to destroy enemies quickly. The ship actually transforms from a nimble destroyer into a siege weapon. When in Siege Mode, the Kolasi diverts its power from Engines to Weapons. It also modifies all its energy weapons allowing them to drain a target's Weapon Power in order to charge up its massive Beam – a devastating disruptor weapon. The Kolasi Siege Destroyer has a single hangar bay equipped with Nausicaan Stinger Fighters. These light craft are equipped with Disruptor Pulse Cannons and Micro Photon Torpedoes.

Mobius Temporal Destroyer
The Mobius Temporal Destroyer is a 29th Century Timeship recovered from the Tholian Assembly. Most of the advanced technology from these ships have been stripped, and have been replaced with contemporary equipment. The Mobius Class Temporal Destroyers are not only from the future, but they also appear to be from the Mirror Universe. They are very similar to the Wells Temporal Science Vessels, however, as a mirror universe ship, it is built more for combat. This ship, and its counterparts, have drifted through the spacial rift located in the Azure Nebula.

Chimera Heavy Destroyer
The Chimera Heavy Destroyer is a Tier 5 (Vice Admiral) level Federation Escort. It is similar to an Escort, but has many qualities of Light Cruisers and Science Vessels. Starfleet Corps of Engineers (SCE) has been working on a special new destroyer class starship, designed for high-level combat situations. The project was so secret that access to the Utopia Planitia shipyard was restricted for months while the project was completed. Now, Starfleet Command has decided to offer the ships to its most experienced captains.

Fleet Chimera Heavy Destroyer

The project was so secret that access to the Utopia Planitia shipyard was restricted for months while the project was completed. Now, Starfleet Command has decided to offer the ships to its most experienced captains. The Fleet variant gains an additional Engineering console slot as well as better overall hull and shield strength.

Romulan Republic

Romulan Temporal Destroyer
Like Starfleet's Klein-class and Klingon Chargh'poH-class, the Tal'aura-class Temporal Destroyer (T6) is a Mirror universe version of the Sui'Mor-class Romulan timeship from the 29th century. Vessels of this class have been stolen by the Tholian Assembly and stripped of most of their advanced technology, only to be stolen again by the Ferengi Lobi Crystal Consortium. The Ferengi have been repairing and refitting them for use in modern-day warfare – and then selling them for a modest fee.

This ship is available to Romulan Republic players from the Lobi Crystal Consortium for 800 and comes with the following:
 * Enhanced Manheim Device universal console
 * 1.21 Terrawatts starship trait
 * Lieutenant Commander Tactical-Temporal Operative bridge officer seating
 * Tal'aura and Talvath ship costume variants
 * Tal'aura and Talvath ship materials (UNLOCKS FOR ALL ROMULAN TEMPORAL SHIPS)
 * Romulan Temporal Bridge
 * A.R.W. registry name prefix option

Warbird Destroyer
The Daeinos Warbird Destroyer (T5) is the Romulan Republic's variant of Starfleet's Chimera-class and Empire's Peghqu'-class Heavy Destroyer. Ships of this class have some similarities to Escorts, but also have many qualities of Light Cruisers and Science Vessels.

This ship is available to 1000-day Romulan Republic Veterans and Lifetime Subscribers and comes with the following:
 * Dynamic Tactical System universal console
 * Romulan Type 3 ship material (UNLOCKS FOR ALL WARBIRD DESTROYERS)

The Fleet Daeinos Warbird Destroyer (T5) is an improved variant obtainable from the player's Fleet. The ship lacks the Universal Console, but comes with an additional console slot, increased Hull Hit Points and Shield Strength. This ship also comes with the following: The Dinaes Warbird Destroyer (T6) was developed after the success of the Daeinos-class Heavy Destroyer prototype.
 * Romulan Fleet 1 ship material (UNLOCKS FOR ALL WARBIRD DESTROYERS)

This ship is available to 1000-day Romulan Republic Veterans and Lifetime Subscribers and comes with the following:
 * Enhanced Dynamic Tactical System universal console
 * Weapon System Synergy starship trait
 * Lieutenant Commander Engineering/Command Lieutenant Commander Engineering/Command bridge officer seating
 * Romulan Type 4 ship material (UNLOCKS FOR ALL WARBIRD DESTROYERS)

The Fleet Dinaes Warbird Destroyer (T6) is an improved variant obtainable from the player's Fleet. The ship lacks the Universal Console and 5th Starship Trait, but comes with an additional console slot, increased Hull Hit Points and Shield Strength. This ship also comes with the following:
 * Romulan Fleet 1 and Fleet 2 ship materials (UNLOCKS FOR ALL WARBIRD DESTROYERS)

Hazari Destroyer
Ruthless bounty hunters and mercenaries, the Hazari pride themselves on always completing the jobs they accept. Their ships reflect this sense of both aggressiveness and pride, by adhering to simple, streamlined designs that favor maneuverability and firepower.

Nihydron Destroyer
The Tier 5 Nihydron Destroyer incorporates the Coalition's many shared technical advances into a front-line strike vessel built primarily for maneuverability and offense.

Sphere Builder Arehbes Destroyer
The Tier 5 Arehbes is the most common starship in the Sphere Builder fleet. This nimble craft was designed to rapidly engage their targets in and out of the Delphic Expanse. The Arehbes Destroyer has a balanced hull and shield strength and an average turn rate.

Tal Shiar Adapted Destroyer
Bearing a vague resemblance to the Dhelan Warbird on which it is derived from, the Llaihr class Tal Shiar Adapted Destroyer is still recognisable as having been a Romulan Warbird at some stage, with a distinct main body/command section and forward-swept wings. Despite this, the ship's altered Borg appearance gives it a distinctly insectile feel. The Llaihr comes with a, which allows the vessel to fire a series of Shrapnel Torpedoes, which fracture into smaller self-propelled projectiles shortly before reaching their target, allowing for bonus shield penetration. The ship itself is slow to turn, despite being Tactically orientated, but possesses advanced technology which may make this a formidable ship to face.

A fearsome warship, the Tier 6 Mandukar-class destroyer is a potent part of the Tal Shiar fleet. A powerful fusion of Romulan and Borg technology, the vessel is equipped with nanotech fabricators that allow it to deploy deadly Shrapnel Torpedoes in combat.

Juggernauts
While not Destroyers per se, due to having a slightly different Starship Mastery package, Juggernauts share the tactically-focused layout of warships by having 8 weapons and, while lacking an experimental weapon slot or hangar bay, are very large and durable.

Vaadwaur Miracle Worker Juggernaut
TBD.

Warships
Warships share the same Starship Mastery package as Destroyers, but have an eighth standard weapon slot in lieu of an experimental weapon slot.

Dominion
See also: Dominion playable starship

Jem'Hadar Vanguard Warship
When the Dominion needs a heavy offensive powerhouse, this is the new starship of choice to send into the thick of it all. More sturdy and robust than the older Escorts, without sacrificing much in the way of firepower. This starship features a Lieutenant Commander Tactical/Miracle Worker Specialist Bridge Officer seat.

The Jem'Hadar Vanguard Warship [T6] comes equipped with a Universal Console. Activating this ability will briefly drain nearly all of your power levels and disable your starship, but will unleash a devastating burst of radiation in a long wide cone in front of your starship. Foes unfortunate enough to be caught in this blast will suffer extreme radiation damage and have their power levels slowly drain over time.

This starship may only be flown by Dominion captains, but becomes unlocked for other factions by reaching Level VI of its Starship Mastery.

Breen Chel Grett Warship
The Breen Chel Grett Warship is the backbone of the Breen fleet, and played a powerful role in the latter stages of the Dominion War. Its appearance is largely unchanged from that period, and differs from the designs of many other species in its asymmetrical layout. The main hull consists of multiple blade-like hulls fitted in an overlapping manner to a central perpendicular "wing". The largest of these "blades" is located towards the port side of the wing, and curves towards the center line. Shorter hull blades are mounted on the starboard wing, also curving towards the center line to form a vague "C"-shaped profile when viewed from above. The ship itself is extremely versitile, capable of performing task of Escorts, Cruisers and Science Vessels. As a result, it is one of the most generalised ships available.

The Breen Confederacy's engineers have been hard at work improving their starships in recent years. The Tier 6 Chel Boalg Warship is the newest to appear in their fleet. This warship's design builds upon the success of the powerful Chel Grett by updating its technology to modern standards. The end result is a starship that is durable, powerful and versatile.

Fek'Ihri S'torr Warship
The Fek'Ihri S'torr Warship is a fearsome Fek'Ihri design, with highly specialized technology onboard that shows why the Fek'Ihri have been haunting the Klingons for centuries.

Ferengi Nandi Warship
Developed by the Lobi Crystal Consortium (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quark Enterprises) under contract for the Risian Hospitality Association, the Ferengi Nandi Warship offers the finest in both firepower and luxury for the discerning ship commander. Featuring expanded science bridge officer seating as well as tactical improvements over other Ferengi warships, the Nandi is durable, stylish and extremely desirable. Impress your enemies with the vastness of your wealth before you blow them into scrap!

Husnock Warship
Though the Husnock were eradicated as a species in 2366, their home planet and star system remained – along with everything in it, even starships. Alliance engineers have taken recovered Husnock Warships and restored them to operational capacity. These massive vessels are well-armed, and can withstand a great deal of punishment in combat engagements.

Krenim Imperium Warship
The tier 6 Krenim Imperium Warship is a formidable starship with incredible offensive capabilities. While it is slower and less maneuverable than many destroyers and escorts, it makes up for this with greater weaponry and more durable hull and shielding.

Undine Nicor Bio-Warship
Fitting the profile of many Undine ships, the Nicor maintains a long, almost cylindrical central hull, capped at both ends by a claw-like arrangement of protrusions. Long wing-like protrusions extend from the dorsal and ventral hull towards the aft of the hull. It has no visible bridge, windows, or portholes, seeing as these weaknesses in the superstructure would likely be breached by the intense pressure of Fluidic Space. The ship itself is one of the most powerful vessels ever encountered, as it is capable of combining with 8 other Bio-ships to fire a focussed Fluidic Beam Array at an object, such as a planet, with the capability to disintegrate it. Whilst the ship may be not as survivable as other ships, the Nicor is capable of dishing out extreme damage.
