Description/Overview:
           The DD-01 Stealth Destroyer was the second class of vessels of Khazar's Alien Repulsor Fleet. Like the frigate before it, Khazar wanted large-scale vessels (over 100,000 tons) for his fighting ships, thus the DD-01 Stealth Destroyer was 450,000 tons displacement. The destroyer used a larger version of the Tyche Drives TD-ID-T6-15K Intersection Drive unit. The new unit was built for a 900,000 ton ship, allowing the DD-01 to generate a space-time dilation warp factor of 1 light-year per hour. This gave the massive vessel a superior warp factor to that of other ships of the Ceres Conflict era of the 2180s. However, by the 2190s, this warp factor was approaching standard and thus the destroyer lost part of its advantage. The weapons of the DD-01 were similar to those of the FF-01 Stealth Frigate, only there were more of them. Additionally, a pair of new heavy dual Meson beam turrets were added to the craft to give it a harder punch against Prodono capital ships. The drawback of the heavy Meson turrets was their rate of fire. The 1.7 minute cooling time for the beam emitters limited the effectiveness of the weapons. The mecha compliment of the destroyer was identical to the FF-01 despite the ship being considerably larger.
            The Battle of Altair VII in 2193 tested the effectiveness of the DD-01 in actual combat against the Prodono Imperial warships it was designed to fight. Sadly, the DD-01 performed poorly. Most were either severly damaged or crippled during the battle. All of the DD-01 Stealth Destroyers of Khazar's Alien Repulsor Fleet were lost when Dr. Donaldson's Goro Yuradei went through the Annunaki Galaxy Gate to parts unknown.
