Federal Republic Combat Systems has taking its first babysteps into space with the unveiling of the Kidd class Space Destroyer FRSN Kidd. The Destroyer measuring in at a length of 250 feet has several large turreted weapons of an undisclosed typed and two bow mounted missile launchers of further unknown type and firing type. The only things disclosed about the Destroyer are the cost and crew size. Everything else has been kept classified.

Crew Size-
350 Navy Personnel
200 Marine Personnel

Price Tag-
270 million FRDs

It is unsure where the Destroyers are to be constructed as the Federal Republic lacks a major shipyard of its own in orbit and the ones it does own are wholly incapable of construction of vessels larger than 100 feet. It is rumored that FRCS will contract out the building of the destroyers to another nation in exchage for either the plans or another rejected design for the new SDDN. More to come when available. For now we leave you with the prototype photo, its construction and assmbly date have been kept secret as well as construction location.

OOC:

If I ever go into space, that kind of design appeals to me. Not fancy with curves and stuff. Just mean-looking flying bricks...OF DOOM!

OOC:If you have Homeworld 2, my Cruiser design is gonna be the Vaygr Battlecruiser, I'll make the post later tonight. It sorta looks like the Destroyer pictured above, except longer, and with more missiles
