User:BillyJoeSkull/Kalbosh class destroyer

"'Sir look at that thing!!! Man weapon is charging sir some kinda of giant pulse gun'- The bridge of the TES Malcolm during the TEC-Khoan war"The Kalbosh class destroyer also known as a Draco class cruiser, or a Drákon class Heavy War galley  is a Khoan capital ship classification of the Imperial Defense Fleet. These behemoths are much larger then Koshia class destroyers, and slightly smaller than their cousins the Coushia class battleships. They are more rare and weren't widely encountered until the Invasion of Earth by the Khoan Expeditionary forces. The ship is actually a converted asteroid clearing ship

TEC-Khoan wars
The ship was tested on TEC patrols and starbases, before hand the ship was used for asteroid clearing operations. Its massive electro magnetic pulse plasma canon and wipe out entire starships, cut through starbases, and effective in orbital bombardment operations. A single one of these ships was able to glass a entire TEC colony on the asteroid "Bengal".

The Ships were also used in fleet combat, they provided long range support to the frigates and support to the larger battlecruisers and battleships. They were also used in ground support operations, as their EMP plasma canons can be calibrated to fire narrower precise shots at a single target rather then glass an entire area.

Invasion of Earth
Two Kalbosh class destroyers engaged the UNSC and their Sangheili allies, while they were celebrating the end of the Human-Covenant war. Tokyo, Beiing, and half of cario were destroyed by glassing operations from the "Romeo" and "Julius Maxims". Both ships were destroyed thanks in part to a naivee TEC captain who crashed his Kol class battleship into the "Julius Maxims", and broadsided the "Romeo" destroying its bridge and sending the ship on a downward spiral into earth causing it to crash into Greenland.

Another Kalbosh class destroyer was protecting Victor's flagship "Alexanders Phalanx", but was destroyed by Lisa's Kaja class destroyer "The Damocles".

Post war
The Kalbosh class destroyers were replaced, by the Brutus class destroyers, the remaining Kalbosh were then somehow acquired by the Warriors of Oshkosh, some Kalbosh were still being used, in backwater star systems and remote sectors. They were also used by the United Galactic Coalition against the Unity-Khoan Alliance, and by various Khoan warlords and raiding parties.

Characteristics
The Kalbosh class destroyer is a long massive warship. Its design gave it heavy forward facing armor to protect the bridge from large asteroids and debris from asteroid clearing operations, it also has better shielding than most ships, but lacks serious firepower. Most of its weapons are anti-strike craft/missiles and wouldn't do any real damage to a large cruiser.

It features two hangers in its belly that is covered with a reinforced hanger door, this allows it to carry scores of Invader and Hunter class fighters, Black widow, and Armis class bombers. As well as troop transports, gunships, heavy transport craft, boarding craft, and other shuttles.

Armament
The Kalbosh class destroyers, are armed mostly with light but rapid fire cannons that destroy oncoming boarding craft, and enemy strike craft with ease, and some heavy weapons. But its true purpose is in long range support during space battles and ambushes nicknamed "Snipers" by the TEC and UNSC for their unorthodox and annoying deployment method during ambushes/battles as snipers. Often using their EMP Plasma cannon to destroy enemy vessels miles away. During ground assaults said canon can be re-calibrated to fire a more precise beam allowing them to destroy a single target or to literally  cut through  the enemy ranks. They can quickly deploy Danger class Areofighters, and Widow class fighters to provide quick and deadly air support, Phalanx class transports, drop pods for stealth deployment and can deploy the deadly and feared  RMX-0 "Scorpio" Battle droids in specialized pods, and the dreaded Munitionem mobile battle fortress (MBF) on to a combat zone quickly and effectively.

Trivia

 * All Kalbosh and khoan warships are given Latin or Greek names. This was because Khoan is difficult to translate to, so the TEC gave all Khoan warships Latin or Greek name designations for class and name.
 * Draco/Drákon means Dragon in Latin, and Greek, which is fitting as the EMP Plasma burst is described as a angry red flame escaping the dragon.
