The Gearing class Destroyer is a light warship.
- It is a military ship and a Destroyer.
Description (Specifications)
The streamlined needle/wedge hull is fitted with fuel scoops and fuel purification for wilderness ocean refueling. Capable of 5G acceleration and 3 agility. It carries enough internal fuel for a jump 2 with a jump 1 reserve. It is fitted with jump 2 drop tanks for trans-rift extended range.
It was designed around a large missile bay. It also carries two triple sand caster turrets, four dual fusion gun turrets, and four triple beam laser turrets.
They carry 2 marines, with drop capsules and have a model 6 fib computer, and redundant screens.

History & Background (Dossier)
Used to support NFF Task Forces, this design is built at Nexus (Ha 1526) (world).
Distant Fringe Vessels
The Distant Fringe is said to be a far spinward-rimward area inhabited by colonists and refugees originating on Terra. The region is extremely isolated, separated from the rest of Charted Space by vast, almost uncrossable rifts that were once broached by a system of calibration Points and the use of tankers. Those few academics within Charted Space who have found references to the Distant Fringe regard it as little more than a tall tale. Likewise, many of the inhabitants of the Distant Fringe believe the existence of Charted Space to be mythical.[3]
Vessels originating within the Distant Fringe are very rarely encountered outside of the region. However, misjumps do occur and anomalies with bizarre spacetime and Jumpspace effects exist: as such, craft of this type are not entirely unknown within Charted Space.[4]
