Destasia Heavy Cruiser

The workhorse cruiser of the UruKhar fleet is the Destasia class which has been made in the most numbers over other cruisers of the standard heavy cruiser class, and is the most likely to be seen of all UruKhar Heavy Crusiers. Officers using this as flag are commanding cruiser divisions of the same class, and or Light Cruisers and Destroyers, these also escort BBs, DNs, and CVs in the fleet as they still have a good fire-power load out. Well armored, shielded and equipped, the Destasia also has a strong weapon load out. 270meters by 50meters it is a sizable vessel, and can deliver quite the punch.

the UruKhar use this cruiser as they do any other warship for delivering weapon strikes at high speed and swarming of enemy vessels and targets. Like the other cruisers, peace time construction can be 8 months, 6 if pressed by war production.
