The Loki class destroyer is possibly the most common vessel in the USN's naval armada. Small but exceptionally well armed, it provides the perfect blend of speed and firepower. Mounting a total of 6 separate missile bays, the Loki is capable delivering deadly barrages then nimbly escaping any counterattack.
The Loki pays for its speed and heavy armament by sacrificing a good deal of armor. As a result, the vessel is often found to be unable to sustain long term fleet action unsupported. It is not uncommon to see Loki's operating in "wolf-pack" squadrons of 9 or more. In battle, using their fighters and assault ship escorts as a screen, they excel at fast, slashing attacks to confuse their opponents while maximizing their chances to evade counterattack.
These destroyers are often assigned to officers fresh out of the naval academy as a stepping-stone to command of larger vessels.
