The Suffren Project was initiated after the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] and the subsequent [[ComStar Schism|Reformation]]. While the [[Com Guards]] had a large array of old [[SLDF]] WarShips, [[Precentor Martial of ComStar|Precentor Martial]] [[Anastasius Focht]] desired a vessel which would not be familiar to the [[Clan]] ''[[touman]]s''. The project lacked the pace of comparable [[Successor State]] WarShip programs because of these existing vessels, with virtual reality technology similar to that used by the Precentor Martial to coordinate the fighting on [[Tukayyid]] used to discover and resolve design flaws while awaiting the [[Titan Yards]] to be upgraded to produce the most modern design possible. Such artificial WarShip enactments allowed ComStar to skip the expensive prototype stage of the class.<ref name="TRO:3057r122"/> While expected in [[3058]], issues delayed the introduction of the class until the early 3060s. Ultimately only two examples were constructed prior to the loss of the Titan Yards to the [[Word of Blake]] in late 3061.<ref>''Shattered Sphere'', p. 108: "The Free Rasalhague Republic"</ref><ref>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 46</ref> The vessel's use of such materials as [[ferro-aluminum]] armor and [[double heat sink]]s mark the ''Suffren'' as the height of advanced tech, capable of unleashing and weathering impressive nose and broadside barrages, and includes a [[lithium-fusion battery]] as standard. ==Armament== The ''Suffren'' features an arsenal of a fairly even mix of conventional anti-aerospace and capital class weaponry. The nose bays feature two [[NAC/40]]s and a trio of [[heavy naval PPC]]s, twin [[Gauss rifle]]s, eight [[ER large laser]]s, two [[Artemis IV FCS]] enhanced [[LRM-20]]s and six [[small pulse laser]]s for point defense, the aft bays mirroring the nose save for excluding the naval PPCs. The fore and aft angles feature three [[naval laser 45]]s, two ER, and three standard [[large laser]]s each, with twin [[NAC/20]]s, a [[medium naval PPC]], double LRM-20s and six point defense small pulse lasers mounted in each broadside. ==Cargo== Beyond its four [[DropShip]] capacity and sizable 92,727 tons of stores, the ''Suffren'' is designed to carry eight [[small craft]] and a full marine [[Level II]], allowing the destroyer to repel boarding attempts on itself or seize control of any non-Clan vessels with ease. ==Named Vessels== :<u>Com Guards</u> :* [[Anastasius Focht (Suffren)|CSV ''Anastasius Focht'']] :* [[Manchester|CSV ''Manchester'']] ==See Also== * [[:Category:Individual Suffren-class WarShips|List of named ''Suffren'' class WarShips.]] ==Gallery== <gallery> Suffren (Destroyer) TRO3057r.png|Original ''Suffren'' from ''[[Technical Readout: 3057|TRO:3057]]'' Navalcamocg.png|Miniature of ''Suffren''-class [[Manchester|CSV ''Manchester'']] from ''[[AeroTech 2 Revised Edition|AeroTech 2 revised]]'' </gallery> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[AeroTech 2 Record Sheets]]'' * ''[[Explorer Corps (sourcebook)|Explorer Corps]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: ComStar]]'' * ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: Terra]]'' * ''[[Shattered Sphere]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3057]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3057 Revised]]'' [[Category:ComStar WarShip classes]] [[Category:Destroyer classes]] [[Category:Small WarShips]] [[Category:WarShip classes]]
