The Oreo class Destroyer is a warship.
- It is a military ship and a Destroyer.
Description (Specifications)
The Oreo class Destroyer was originally designed for service with the Fleets 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 destroyers, 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 screens 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 "Oreo Settlement" the ship carries an Alfred class Gunboat. It also has a pair of 20-Ton Gigs for use in Marine operations.

History & Background (Dossier)
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, the influential 14th Duke of Oreo Subsector, an enthusiastic student of naval architecture, became involved in the project and began making demands.
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 Oreo class had been selected for service with the Fleet's Heavy CruRons and as such became a target of the 14th Duke's meddling.
The intransigence of the Duke eventually resulted 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, the personal design of the 14th 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. Some naval officers resent the ongoing Noble influence on naval architecture: others see the broader financial and material benefits that such indulgences can bring.
