Indra-class Destroyer

Baal-class Destroyer

"Ship master, three human destroyers, closing on us!" "They pose no threat to us!."

- Last words of Jarus, Shipmaster of the battlecruiser Frenzied Hunter

The Baal-class Destroyer was the direct succesor the the previous generation of UNSC destroyers, made primarily for causing grevious injury to much larger vessesls, combined with its slim profile and abundance of other armaments, makes it a feared ship. Rarely used as a escort, they are used primarily to intercept heavy vessels in battle. Though it packs almost 1/2 more armour than the Frigate, it has the same grade of shielding. It also lacks a complement of deployable forces, like its predecessor, along with no fighters but packs a larger multitude of Firestorm and Thunderstorm CIWS. It also features a larger reactor, though the majority of its power is focused on the guns, with the rest going to its other systems, making it slower than the Frigate, though faster than cruisers and carriers.

UNSC Comments
"It looks ugly as hell, can't go very fast, just like the old UNSC Destroyer. I love it!"

"Three of these intercepted a Remnant battle cruiser a day travel out of Kanna. If this was the old days, all three would of been destroyed and the cruiser crippled but they actually destroyed it with no casualties!"

"It has a almost symbiotic nature with the frigate and the carrier. It needs the frigate's speed and the frigate and the carrier's fighter support, giving them a massive punch in return..."
