The elderly Bastille class destroyer is still a formidable ship,
even though the basic design has remained essentially unchanged since
its first inception. Port and starboard under-wing mounted dual gatling
cannons, mounted on 360 degree turrets allow engagement of targets from
almost any angle, while a front mounted dual gatling cannon helps with
frontal assaults. The shield systems are extremely strong, especially
over the prow. Uniquely the Bastile class destroyer can bring all three
primary weapons to bear on a single target, something few vessels can
survive for long. In fact the the Bastille class has been so successful
that NSO Laplace have taken many of the design elements and
incorporated them into the Guillotine class heavy destroyer. Variants
include the Interdictor sub-class, which carries disruptor missiles in
addition to the normal missile complement, and the Spearhead sub-class,
which replaces the forward cannon with a cutting beam for station and
capital ship assaults.

LDS Class 3
Capsule Drive
Based on a secret prototype developed during the Independence
War, the Guillotine class heavy destroyer is a superior vessel in every
sense. Four wing-mounted turreted dual gatling cannon provide
unsurpassed fire-arcs, and an uprated forward dual gatling cannon
provides excellent head-on firepower. Shields, engines, weapons and CPU
have all been upgraded, and the Guillotine class requires far fewer
crew than its predecessor. Several navies have taken delivery of the
latest versions if the Guillotine, and it is gradually replacing the
Bastille class.
MS-D29 Remote Drone
Manufacturer: Maas Corporation
Length: 5.8m
Mass: 2t
Crew: Remote Piloted
Maneuverability: Low
Offensive Systems:
None
Defensive Systems:
None
Drive Systems:
Micro Thrust Array
The MS-D29 remote drone is in common usage with many stations
and maintenance yards. Relying on either a remote pilot or
pre-programmed instructions, its interchangeable arm modules give it
unparalleled versatility. Drones are used for many tasks, especially
those that are too hazardous for human beings to carry out directly,
such as collider-ring cleaning and maintenance Other uses for remote
drones include paint spraying, station hull inspection, and salvage
operations.
