The ''TC11 Falbin class Destroyer'' class is used by the [[Trooles Confederation]]. These fully streamlined conical structures can land on planetary surfaces. They retain the speed, and almost all of the agility and firepower of the larger destroyer classes. They carry a section of 24 marines who have a pair of small dropboats for dust off and recovery.  Fleet missile barrages and ortillery are common missions for this platform.  They have more cargo but less armor than their big brothers.  Less expensive, they lost their back up computer, and their ECCM capabilities when compared with teh [[TC13 Falcon class Destroyer]]s. This class featured semi-autonomous robot arms in the cargo bay to facilitate cargo transfers between ships underway with the cargo bay doors mated and docked. There was an infamous incident in which a young ensign reprogrammed and used these arms to great effect repelling enemy boarding parties intend on looting the hold.

The TC11 Falbin class Destroyer is a warship.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

The Falbin class is a combat vessel of the Trooles Confederation.

Image Repository[edit]

Falbin class Destroyer.
TC11b Falbin 2.png

General Description[edit]

The Falbin class is a destroyer deployed by the Trooles Confederation. Examples of the class can be encountered throughout the coreward parts of Theta Borealis Sector. The vessel has a fully streamlined conical structure hull. It is fitted with fuel scoops and fuel purification plant allowing it to perform wilderness ocean refueling.

Basic Ship Characteristics[edit]

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]

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The TC11 Falbin class Destroyer class is used by the Trooles Confederation. These fully streamlined conical structures can land on planetary surfaces. This class is characterized by less acceleration and more armor. They have two computers which expands their ECM abilities. The marines lost their dropships and must rely on a platoon of four Grav APCs. Originally a security specialist was part of the crew, the admiralty realized this was redundant with the 24 marines embarked and removed that billet, for a savings in cost and a slight expansion in cargo capacity. Common to all the destroyers in this series, they lack some jump range with only enough internal fuel for a single Jump-2. The additional armor pushed the price per unit above the larger TC12 Ivorholm class Destroyers. The rationale for the smaller maneuver drives was that the power plant couldn't provide enough power for the evasive abilities, therefore the extra acceleration was wasted. Several captains feel this was foolish, to lower the acceleration of a pursuit vessel.

Class Naming Practice/s:
Vessels of the Trooles Confederation are given alphanumeric designations and callsigns by other interstellar states. TC refers to Trooles Confederation (a designation applied to all Confederation combat units), 11 is a multiple of hundreds of tons of displacement and also indicates at a glance the number of weapons mounts, and when it is used 'b' refers to the version of the vessel, relating to its construction tech level and bracketing its maximum jump potential. Type codes will often repeat: 'Falbin' is an easy to remember class name to identify the specific type of vessel.

  • Individual vessels are named by a committee using an authorized list.
