Magnetic Cannons

Mainstay anti-ship projectile weapon of the Terran Coalition. Ajax class destroyers mount three, double turret batteries with a 200mm bore. They are capable of engaging most sub-capital vessels with ease.

CIWS – Point Defense 

The Terran Coalition’s Close-In Weapon System or CIWS, provides excellent point defense coverage for the Ajax class destroyers. Upgraded to have ten emplacements, up from six on the previous destroyer design, they offer three hundred and sixty degrees of overlapping protection against small craft and missile threats.

Neutron Beams 

Primary energy weapon of the Terran Coalition. Fires a solid beam of tightly packed neutrons that crush targets and cause extensive thermal damage. Damage output constrained by reactor size and the vessel’s energy weapon capacitor.

Bridge 

Nerve center of the ship. Manned twenty-four hours a day, the officers and enlisted crew keep a constant watch on all systems, ready to jump into battle at a moment’s notice. Ajax class destroyers have several notable improvements to previous designs, including integrated tactical sensors and an upgraded fleet link.

Engine Pods 

Ion thrust engines are the primary propulsion system for Terran Coalition warships. Coupled with advanced maneuvering thrusters, and integrated fusion over-thrust engines, Ajax class destroyers are the most maneuverable warship in the Coalition Defense Force.

MottoThe Iron Lady Does Not Turn

 

The Ajax-class destroyer performed as well as its designers hoped in every way, but that didn’t slow down the Coalition Defense Force’s engineering division. Working in conjunction with Strathclyde Shipyard, the Block II version has improved shields, a more powerful fusion reactor, and instead of two missile tubes on the bow, a twelve tube VRLS amidships provides expanded weapons strength.

The CSV Margaret Thatcher was one of the first Block II units commissioned following the end of the League of Sol / Terran Coalition and served with distinction during the Sextans B incident in the CSV Lion of Judah’s battlegroup.

The Thatcher has now been deployed to the Orion Spur, on patrol duty to keep the peace.
