T.N.F. Destroyer Class 'Executioner' Mk.IV

”A warning tone sounded as two large icons appeared on the radar screen. A Fleet patrol of two destroyers, knowing exactly where the Charmer would break orbit. Smaller icons appeared in front of the enemy ships, accelerating fast toward them. Missiles. The Fleet was done chasing them now.”
-From The Fleet Beyond Neptune

Designed to destroy or seriously damage ships of its own size, the the 'Executioner' destroyer class is equipped with heavy frontal armor, fixed and detachable decoys, and combat repair welders in order to survive prolonged combat. Its artillery cannons, railgun and missiles can cause serious damage to stationary or slow-moving targets. 'Executioner' -class destroyers are therefore deployed on assault operations against capital warships, stations and docked spaceships. It is also well suited as a fleet escort, having the necessary toughness and weaponry to stall or destroy smaller warships.

It has a hybrid propulsion system with ion and hydrogen thrusters to compensate for its mass while maneuvering. Its large hydrogen thrusters also allows it to maneuver and fight within the orbit of a planet, as long as the gravitational pull is less than 0.50 G. It is also equipped with a small hangar capable of carrying small spacecraft. It primarily carries drill- and utility drones, which allows it to operate on long, independent cruises, but can also carry small fighters.
