The Nederland class Destroyer Escort is a warship.

Description (Specifications)

The Nederland class Destroyer Escort is built for the Langemarck Royal Navy, the space arm of the military forces of the Langemarck Coalition in Vanguard Reaches Sector. The design trades off a longer range against decreased agility. Nederlands are capable craft that form an important part of the Coalition's defenses.

  • The vessel is a TL-13 design.

Basic Ship Characteristics

Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (of ten craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary. [1]

The ship has an agility rating of 0 and an emergency agility of 5. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for one Jump-4 and gives the power plant 4 weeks duration.
  • The engineering section has a main control room.
    • Ladders, gantries and platforms give access to the machinery.
  • The jump drive utilizes a lanthanum hull grid.

History & Background (Dossier)

Nederland class Destroyer Escorts are built for the Langemarck Royal Navy. They are versatile craft that are employed in a variety of roles, including power projection, trade protection, and fleet duties. They are small enough to be carried by a Fleet Tender, greatly extending the potential strike range. The vessel carries a 20-Ton Gig and a Marine squad drawn from the Langemarck Fusilier Regiments.
