== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
 +
The ''Oreo'' class [[Destroyer]] was originally designed for service with the [[Fleet]]s of the [[Domain of Sylea]]. The design process was strongly influenced by the former [[Duke]] of [[Oreo Subsector]], in [[Massilia Sector]], a keen amateur [[naval architect]]. The class are larger than normal [[destroyer]]s, yet are considered too small to be a true [[cruiser]]. The primary weapon is the powerful [[Meson Gun]] [[spinal mount]], giving the vessel a punch far above its weight. The [[screen]]s are mediocre, one of many compromises needed to accommodate the [[meson gun]] in a hull this size. The ability to destroy enemy shipping takes priority over its own survival: range and speed also suffered as a result of this martial mindset. In compliance with the "[[146th Fleet#The Oreo Settlement|Oreo Settlement]]" the ship carries an ''[[Alfred class Gunboat|Alfred]]'' class [[Gunboat]].
  
−
The ship carries the mandated [[Alfred class Gunboat]]. A noble decided that every ship in the fleet should carry one of these 90 ton [[Gunboat]]s. The ship has scoops, but no purification plant. The partially streamlined close configuration hull is unarmored. This allows for gas giant refueling. The ship has 3 G acceleration and 1 agility.  The ship carries enough fuel for one jump 3. Its main armament is a spinal mounted meson gun. It also carries a pair of missile bays, ten dual fusion gun turrets, ten triple beam laser turrets, and twenty triple sand caster turrets for defense. The screens are mediocre, one of many compromises needed to accommodate the meson gun in a hull this size. Larger than normal destroyers, yet considered too small to be a true cruiser. The ability to destroy enemy shipping takes priority over its own survival.  Range and speed also suffered as a result of this martial mindset.

However, the influential former [[Duke]] of [[Oreo Subsector]], a direct descendant of the aristocratic Halls families and an enthusiastic student of naval architecture, exercised his remit as mandated under the terms of the "[[146th Fleet#Oreo Settlement|Oreo Settlement]]": he demanded that any vessels that were to serve with the [[146th Fleet|146th]], his "personal Fleet", must be locally designed and manufactured. The privilege had been granted by [[Cleon I]] himself and the [[Duke]] insisted that it must be honored.

This was simply not possible – the [[146th Fleet|146th]] was an Imperial fleet, despite what the [[Duke]] chose to believe, and had to be able to serve the needs of the Imperium wherever required: locally produced designs simply could not meet such demanding criteria. The intransigence of the Duke eventually resulted in a compromise – all vessels of the ''Oreo'' class, no matter where they served, were to carry an ''[[Alfred class Gunboat|Alfred]]'' class [[Gunboat]], the personal design of the Duke himself. The current [[Duke]] has maintained his father's policy and many classes of warship operating within the [[Domain]] carry at least one ''[[Alfred class Gunboat|Alfred]]''.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Oreo class Destroyer sees service in Fleets across the Domain of Sylea and beyond. It was designed to be produced in shipyards across the Domain and was intended for general Imperial service, and as such it bore no particular cultural or political influences within its architecture. However, it was designated for service with the 146th Fleet stationed in Oreo Subsector, and consequently the eccentric but influential 14th Duke of Oreo became involved in the project.

The 14th Duke was a direct descendant of the aristocratic Halls families, the pre-Imperial rulers of Oreo Subsector. When the Oreo Worlds, the proto-polity they controlled, was absorbed into the expanding Third Imperium they gained a privilege known as the "Oreo Settlement". This mandated that any vessels that were to serve with the 146th Fleet – the designation given to the former Oreo Worlds flotilla and considered by the 14th Duke to be his "personal Fleet" – must be locally designed and manufactured. The privilege had been granted by Cleon I himself and the Duke insisted that it must be honored.

The demand was utterly impractical and strategically suicidal, and the Navy resisted the proposal, eventually resulting in the direct intervention of the Archduke of the Domain. She ruled that all vessels of the Oreo class, no matter where they served, were to carry an Alfred class Gunboat, a small combat craft that was the personal design of the 14th Duke himself. The Alfred was a capable vessel and all parties found the resolution acceptable. The current Duke has maintained his father's policy and as a result many classes of warship operating within the Domain carry at least one Alfred. Some naval officers resent the ongoing Noble influence on naval architecture: others see the broader political benefits that such indulgences can bring.

Oreo Pattern Hulls[edit]

"Oreo Pattern" hulls are a naval design feature that grew out of the "Oreo Settlement", and which was initially implemented in Oreo Subsector of Massilia Sector for economic reasons following the Civil War. Fundamentally, it is the process of creating hybrid technology ships. Unarmored hulls are locally built at lower tech levels, transported aboard commercial vessels, and fitted out as TL-15 warships at the more advanced shipyards in the region. "Oreo Pattern" starships have proven just as capable as their counterparts originating in other regions of the Imperium and it is now an accepted quirk of warships originating within the Domain of Sylea.
