PROPULSION
PRIMARY:
6x Eurospace HYIE-2250 high yield ion engines
SPEED: 38,000 mph each (228,000 mph total)

WEAPONS:
PRIMARY (OFFENSIVE):
5x Lithgear LG-PC-50 PHELAC turret; Effective Range: 400 miles; Payload: unlimited with nuclear battery clutch recharged from the vessel's main reactor; ROF: up to 9 blasts per minute in cycles of 1 blast per 6.7 seconds.

SECONDARY (OFFENSIVE):
10x Lithgear LG-CML-5000 cruise missile launcher; Missile Type: UN-SRT-5000 short-range 5000-pound computer-guided cruise missile/space torpedo (597.5 kiloton nuclear warhead); Effective Range: 35.1 miles; Payload: 1 cruise missile in a forward-facing missile silo; ROF: 1 torpedo each.

PRIMARY (DEFENSIVE):
2x Lithgear LG-STL-800 space torpedo tubes; Missile Type: UNSST-01 short-range 800-pound television-guided space torpedo (95.6 kiloton nuclear warhead); Effective Range: 5.4 miles; Payload: 20 torpedoes each tube. ROF: up to 1 torpedo per two seconds each launcher.

ELECTRONICS:
1x Microwave Radio Communications array with a 100 AU range.
1x LADAR array with a range of 220,000 miles.
1x Passive EMS array with a range of 500,000 miles.
1x Active EMS array with a range of 50,000 miles.
1x Gravitational/Antigravity Control Unit; Effect: Provides artificial lift, g-force compensation, and enhanced maneuverability.

DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS:
4x Cydonia Research CR-ND-450 nuclear dampener field generator; Range: 45 miles from hull; Power Requirement: 450 megawatts each; Effect: Random due to numerous variables. In general, the nuclear dampeners provided moderate to considerable resistance to energy weapons and were able to cause missile warheads to either explode or go inert within their area of effect.

HANGAR BAYS:
1x 6000-yd³ Bay holds up to 40 Type-39D-60 exosuits, plus supplies, ammunition, and parts for the suits.

Description/Overview:
The Boikii class Main Space Destroyer was first built in limited numbers during the early 2160s to combat the Juno class of space frigate used by the USSN. Only twenty-five Boikii class destroyers were constructed during that time. All twenty-five of the completed vessels were lost during the first failed missions to destroy the Posse Comitatus when it crashed into the Ross Sea in the late 2160s. However, eight uncompleted Boikii class ships were left unfinished in their space garages in orbit around the Martian moon of Phobos. These Boikii class ships were secretly finished in 2171 AD on orders from Lady-Chairman Isabeau Furrier who defied the wishes of the Soviet Elite in her bid to crush the EFR space fleet. Her plans were accelerated unexpectedly when Supreme Commander Edric VonStalin called for the construction of the “Project Ironclad” fleet of space warships to defend the Solar Empire.
Four hundred Boikii class ships were built between 2172 and 2174 by the UN Solar Empire before the ship was replaced by the Conqueror class. The greatest number of Boikii class ships lost by the UN was during “Operation Blitzkrieg” and the invasion of Earth. The Boikii class ships were instrumental in landing large numbers of tanks onto Ceres, Luna, and Earth.
After the 1st Interplanetary War was over, the Mars Colonial Republic and Venus Consortium built large numbers of Boikii class ships to guard the planetary spheres of those planets within their orbital defense fleets. The exact numbers of Boikii class vessels built during the post-1st Interplanetary War period is unknown.
