Destroyer Vajra

VajraDestroyerType (78K)

BACKGROUND

A super life-form that always continues to evolve. Each individual is tied together in an Intestinal Bacteria Network that emits Fold Waves, and the entirety of the Vajra think as one. Due to this real-time information transfer ability, the damage information of a single individual is accumulated by the colony and fed-back into newly created individuals. Hence, the means of attack that are received several times do not apply to the next generation of Vajra.

In addition to the queen, several types of individuals exist. Independent Space Folds are possible, the shell is the same kind of material as Energy Conversion Armour, and objects that appear to be missiles are produced within a short period of time inside of their bodies. Fold Bacillus is included in their bodily fluids, and the humans that come into contact with it are infected by the V-type Infectious Disease; and they will die if they aren't treated at an early stage.

The Destroyer Vajra, is a Vajra in the form of a small fighting ship, which excels at acceleration and manoeuvrability. It exists in the several hundreds per Space Combat Group. In addition to being armed with a single powerful bio beam gun in the top of the front, it has a great number of small calibre beam guns for self-defence, and dozens of bio micro-missiles. The Destroyer Vajra can make super-long range movements with its Bio Fold Navigation. Its size is close to that of the Macross Quarter, and it features high manoeuvrability.

The Destroyer Vajra is a combat ship type Vajra that accompanies the Vajra Battleship. It is the smallest type among the vessel type of Vajra. Dozens of Destroyer types surround a single Battleship type. The destroyers advance in order to defend the Vajra Battleship, and they incessantly attack.

They don't appear to have a crew, and each one appears to be an individual creature. The characteristic Vajra pattern can be seen in various places in the overall slender form.

Although it is about one-tenth the size of the Vajra Battleship type, it has the ability to Space Fold on its own, and can form a powerful Fold Barrier. Even though the such things as the defensive capabilities aren't known, there were also ships that were sunk due to VB-6 fusillades.

There are sharp rams on the whole surface, and gun ports exist here and there. Even though it doesn't have a fighting ability to the extent of the Battleship Type, they're overwhelming number is a threat.

DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS

1. HEAT AND RADIATION SHIELDS

2. ENERGY CONVERSION ARMOUR

3. Fold Barrier

The system generates a force field around the ship to deflect missiles, energy beams or projectiles.

4. REGENERATION

Instead of an offensive action, the Vajra can use it's energy to regenerate. This powerful ability allows it to instantly regrow lost appendages and armaments or simply repair the main body. As it consumes a lot of energy, the Vajra doesn't tend to use it during combat.

5. ELECTRONIC COUNTERMEASURES

Note: In space, Radio and Radar Waves are range x10.

OFFENSIVE SYSTEMS:

Note: Stats indicate the Effective Range. Maximum Range is effective range x1.5, but is -3 to strike.
In space: Explosions and shock-waves: range x 10, but damage x0.1 in the extended shock-wave; Lasers: range x2; Extended range is range x3, but is -2 to strike and damage x0.5; Other weapons: range x2

1. ANTI-SHIP BEAM GUNS (3):

The main weapon system of the Destroyer Vajra are three heavy laser cannons, mounted on the top of the bow. These cannons pack a punch and make the Destroyer Vajra a foe to be reckoned with. Each laser can fire separately or together, but can only fire at targets that are almost directly in front of the destroyer (lasers can aim 15° off the ship's centerline). When not used, the guns retract inside the hull and are covered by an armoured shutter.

2. BEAM GUN TURRETS (8):

Destroyer Vajra are also armed with anti-ship beam turrets. The beam gun turrets are located at key points along the spacecraft's hull. At most, 4 beam guns can be directed against a single target at a time.

3. BEAM CIWS (22):

These Close in Weapons Systems (CIWS) do not suffer the negative modifiers to hitting attacking mobile weapons, that larger anti-ship weapons do. They are intended primarily for anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense, but can do moderate damage against smaller enemy ships if they get too close. The guns are located at key points along the hull. At most 4 lasers can be directed against a single target at any time.

4. SHIP-BORNE CRAFT (STANDARD):

The Vajra Destroyer is composed of a network of tunnels throughout the superstructure that not only allow a horde of the relatively smaller Vajra to be carried inside the destroyer, but to also move around inside the ship type.

In addition, there are 23 armoured hatches in the bow for Vajra (usually the larger red type) to be transported safely. Their location also allows the ship to make Daedalus Attack type manuevers.

Armoured Hatches
  • 23 Mobile Soldiers (yellow Vajra) or Heavy Soldiers (red Vajra)
    		• Ship Interior
  • 36+ Mobile Soldiers (yellow Vajra - generally it's too tight a fit for the Heavy Soldiers (red Vajra))

    • 5. HAND TO HAND COMBAT

    The Vajra Destroyer has developed sharp rams on the whole surface, enabling the ship itself to be used as a weapon.

    DAMAGE:

    SENSOR SYSTEMS

    Unless otherwise noted, refer to Ship Sensor Systems for details.
    Note: In space, Radio and Radar Waves are range x10.

    OTHER STANDARD EQUIPMENT

    Unless otherwise noted, refer to Ship Other Systems for details.
