Raijin-class Escort Destroyer

Tereus-class Escort Destroyer

"Prepare for our stealth vessels to make an approach on their flank."

- Fleet Master Biranus

"Ordnance incoming! How did they discover us!"

- Brute Stealth Shipmaster

The Tereus-class Escort Destroyer is a modified version of the Baal-class Destroyer, removing the keel MAC gun on the prow and replacing it with a multi array high power millimeter wave RADAR. This is similar to the one found on the Athena and Minerva-class Prowlers. This, in conjunction with a vast suite of counter ECM and stealth detection systems allow it to discover what can potentially be enemy stealth fighters or stealth ships. It's RADAR is high power and high range, sometimes quite capable of detecting a stealth ship through even a minor groove in its hull, rendering its RADAR cross section useless along with constantly fluctuating RADAR frequencies which render RADAR absorbent materials useless. An advance, AI driven stealth detection suite uses a mixture of infrared and thermal imaging, energy spike detection systems, radiation detection systems, probes, optical detection systems, picking up anomalies in images, radio interception and tracing systems, counter ECM sysems, homing in on the source of jamming systems and minute RADAR anomaly detection. Things such as minor cross RADAR cross sections, black spots, 'late pings' are all cross analysed across all detection systems to determine if it is a enemy target. This is confirmed by a BLOODHOUND Spy Drone.

UNSC Comments
"The system is flawless, you send out intermittent pings and probes from behind a frigate and destroyer screen for five minutes then within 3.9 seconds your AI has your answer."

"I see these ladies get deployed in one of three ways. Deployed with wolfpacks of Frigates and Destroyers in wolf packs, scouting systems for targets, covering flanks of fleets or covering convoys in coginition with Raijins and Baals."
