XM108 Halayn Disruption Destroyer (2)

Xygritt Matriarchy

    The Halayn Disruption Destroyer represents a typically Xygritt approach to a design. While most powers tend to place their spacial disruptors on large and well-protected vessels, the Xygritt instead opted to go for quantity over quality.
    The Halayn is lightly armed, with a rating 180 on the Xygritt’s point-defence scale and having no other weapons. It is slow for a destroyer, though it has stronger than typical shields. The bulk of the vessel is instead devoted to the four spacial disruptor globes extending from the thermal vane.
    The Halayn’s disruptors are relatively small, which means a correspondingly short range. While multiple spacial disruptors synchronised has a cumulative effect of the field range, this depreciating quickly. An individual Halayn is certainly a cheaper resource to deploy, to affect a large area means multiple Halayns must be flow at dangerously close relativistic ranges to match their field synchronisation, it would require four to match a single Xyriat Vydrosa Disruptor Battleship’s range and at that point, it is no longer as cost-effective. The other alternative requires the Halayn to get dangerously close to the enemy, making it much more likely to be attacked and destroyed as a relatively fragile smaller vessel.
    This has led to the Matriarchal Navy relying on spacial disruptor deployment primarily for small-scale battles than the mass-fleet ambushes more typical of elenthnar powers, where the Halayn’s ease of deployment makes it more useful.
