== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
The [[Durt class Destroyer Escort]] is a prototype Destroyer Escort was designed and built by the [[Yimin Jiti]], a state in the central-rimward portion of the [[Halcyon Sector]]. These vessels are built at [[Narit (world)|Narit]]. 1 in service to date.

=== Distant Fringe Vessels ===
The [[Distant Fringe]] is said to be a far [[spinward]]-[[rimward]] area inhabited by colonists and refugees originating on [[Terra (world)|Terra]]. The region is extremely isolated, separated from the rest of [[Charted Space]] by vast, almost uncrossable [[rift]]s that were once broached by a system of [[calibration Point]]s and the use of [[tanker]]s. 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Likewise, many of the inhabitants of the [[Distant Fringe]] believe the existence of [[Charted Space]] to be mythical.{{Unpublished cite|author= [[Maksim-Smelchak]] }}

[[Vessel]]s originating within the [[Distant Fringe]] are very rarely encountered outside of the region. However, [[misjump]]s do occur and [[Astrographic Phenomenon|anomalies]] with bizarre [[spacetime]] and [[Jumpspace]] effects exist: as such, [[Vessel|craft]] of this type are not entirely unknown within [[Charted Space]].{{Unpublished cite|author= [[Maksim-Smelchak]] }}

=== Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities ===
Each vessel within the class is named by the government of the [[polity|state]] that produces it. They generally draw on traditional naming protocols and it is not uncommon for a historical class name to be reused.
* Individual vessels within the class are issued specific serial numbers and [[Transponder|transponder]] codes.
* Naming a ship is considered a serious affair and is generally accompanied by a traditional ceremony, usually pouring a local beverage over the bows of the craft. Starfarers tend to be superstitious folk and a ship with a frivolous name is considered "unlucky".
