| Description and Notes | |||||
| Fleet Data: The
first major refit to the Defender class saw the use of major
improvements, and the first use of several systems now regarded as basic
such as the pulse cannons, the bridge, and teleporters. This refit, and
the 693 refit to come, were the more famous of the Damocles airships and
the first D.I.S. Victory was of this particular line of ship.
This ship is considered the first true airship, with the Eagle, Pigeon
and first Defender being considered mere stepping stones to this
point. In this refit, the frame was also extended by 15 feet in
length, 5 feet in beam and an additional deck was added on. This was to
allow the Defender class to accommodate current and future technologies.
The Defender class Explorer was given a wide range of missions from exploration to combat and to patrols. In it's long period, over 800 of these types of airships were built, several either lost in the line of duty, sold to other nations, retired/upgraded or scrapped for materials. D.I.S. Victory: The Victory contained several advancements and alterations, making it different from other ships in the line. first majo More Information to come Noteworthy vessels/service records/encounters: D.I.S. Victory, DCC 0678-A, launched as the first of her refit class under the command of Captain Baiganx Windfire. (687). Mission Report Pending. D.I.S. Paradox, DCC 0680-A. Placed on Expedition Fleet duty under the command of Captain Aelria Nehmarma (687). D.I.S. Conviction, DCC 0679-A. Placed on Expedition Fleet Duty under the command of Captain Richard Greven. (687) |
