==Description==
 
==Description==
Named for one of the first members of the [[Terran Hegemony]] [[WarShip Sub-Command]], [[Adelaide Lola]], the '''''Lola'''''-class destroyer was designed as an escort and picket ship, and served with distinction in the Hegemony navy for centuries.<ref name=TRO3057R/>

The only poor quality of the ''Lola'' was its lack of crew space. Mounting heavy armor, the ''Lola'' was more massive than originally intended, and required upsized [[Rolls Le Fay]] interplanetary drives to meet performance requirements.  This change in the design forced designers to reduce internal space; space within the hull of the ''Lola'' comes at a high price, making this ship exceptionally cramped. This unfortunately led to the class nickname: "sardine cans," a problem that continued through each subsequent Block of ships.<ref name=TRO3057R/>

The ''Lola Block I'' was eventually replaced by the [[Lola II|''Lola Block II'']], introduced under license by [[Blue Nose Clipperships]] in [[2622]]. However, the ''Lola II'' was a rushed design, with flaws coming to light only after production and was decommissioned within 40 years of its introduction in [[2660]], to be replaced by the [[Lola III|''Lola Block III'']].<ref name=TRO3057R/>

==Armament==
 
==Armament==
The armament of the ''Lola'' is mixed, allowing the ''Lola'' to engage both large and small naval targets. An earlier class, the ''Lola's'' weaponry is focused on naval lasers and naval autocannons, and mounts [[Large Lasers]] as deterrents for small craft.<ref name=TRO3057R/>

The ''Lola'' was not designed as a transport vessel. The class has three bays, but these bays are used to ferry one [[squadron]] of six [[aerospace fighters]], two small craft, and approximately 115,000 tons of cargo.<ref name=TRO3057R/>
