Highlights are choice selections from the work of our forum members that deserve special recognition. You can find the complete list here.
A guardian ship of GTVA space, the Aker-class is in the prototype stage. Currently just the GVDi Duaj, the Vasudans hope to test its Interdiction technologies for the official PGDi Sefer. If successful, the twin destroyers will secure the Alliance's borders and safeguard generations to come.
Following the destruction of Capella, the GTVA needed new methods of war. Terran war doctrine focused on the development of subspace weaponry and jump-strike assets.
Meanwhile, the Vasudan admiralty longed to prevent another Vasuda Prime, and decided the best solution was to prevent Shivan forces from entering GTVA space. With the advancement of subspace technology and the Terran construction of the Sol Gate, Vasudan scientists applied this knowledge towards an equally hopeful endeavor. The ability to prevent subspace usage by invading forces.
The Aker-class destroyer features an Interdiction Ring, designed to ripple space around it, preventing ship computers from accurately calculating jumps. Intended to guard hostile borders, the Aker presents its most powerful weaponry towards new threats, while its flanking systems shred passerby's.
Alas, Interdiction comes with extraordinary power requirements, which limit the Aker's side-mounted weaponry. To combat this issue, the majority of its weaponry are missile and flak munitions, and the power-efficient Houndstooth pulse turret.
Massive AWACS arrays provide counter-jam precision jumps for allies, subspace sensor packages, aspect lock jamming, electronic countermeasures, intercept and decryption, and defensive stealth.
