Dante-class Project K850 Guided Missile Fleet Destroyer

Dante-class Project K850 Guided Missile Fleet Destroyer

A vessel designed in 00820 as a slightly larger more heavily armed and armored version of the Fromm-class GMD, like its slightly smaller brother it is a multi-mission destroyer type vessel intended for the fleet defense role as its primary tasking. However like most vessels designed and produced by the Colonial Pact it is a multi-role platform capable of more then air defense and anti-ship operations. Featuring a hanger bay and 'mission-bay' capable of being configured in a wide variety of ways including the carrying of strikecraft and invasion forces these vessels can often be found pulling a multi-tude of duties and operations over their careers.

Active Defenses and Electronic Warfare Systems

Shields
(4x) OA-97A30 'Vez' Conformal Plasma Field Emittion/Containment Systems The Dante employs a 'two-up two-down' arrangement with two emitters being used actively and two in reserve. These systems produce a transparent field of compressed plasma roughly five meters from the surfaces of the vessel, when struck these contained fields are crushed opaque and absorb most if not all of the incoming energy and repel kinetic attacks. Heavier attacks however my pierce the field albeit with severely degraded effect. These fields recycle to full strength every thirty to fifty seconds depending on the use load.
Decoys
(6x) OSF-NB-52 Active Mobile Decoys Built into a Starburn missile system, these units can be set to random flight patterns and contain an active emitter capable of broadcasting the electronic signature of a wide variety of Colonial Pact vessels. Their primary use is to fool enemy sensor systems at long range or in situations where visual systems would not be capable of detecting the decoy for what it is.
