Quark-class

The Quark-Class Destroyer is a vessel that was designed by The Judge with input from other Trinova Technologies Members. 
== Description ==
At just over 320 Meters long the Quark is relatively large compared to other factions' Destroyers. The class is probably most notable for its time spent in development and the delays and mishaps related to its construction. 
The Judge took inspiration from many contemporary Trinovan Vessels designed by FlyingDebris such as the Rockhopper, Iroquois, and Argos .
The well armored fore section of the ship contains spaces for weapons systems and complex detection systems while the mid and aft sections contain space for Living Quarters, Command, Power, Shielding, and the 6 Engines that move the ship. It mounts a Trinovan Standard Chain Drive as with other frontline Trinovan Ships. 
== History ==
=== 2316 ===
The development and construction of Quark prototypes has been plagued with delays, accidental fatalities, engineering mishaps, and other interference. The initial design was laid down by Judge in February 2316, after the retirement of the Munich- and Argos-class Destroyers. Development should have been short (less than a month) and the ship should have been in service by April, however that was not the case since Judge turned out to be a "lazy piece of shit" and "the slowest builder ever". Development continued in June 2316 after the departure of Trident from Trinova Technologies. In late June, Personal Weapon testing went awry and caused the entire starboard midsection to be completely destroyed, killing 43 dockworkers and construction engineers, this caused Construction to be halted for the second time. The project had spotty progress for the next year. 
=== 2317 ===
In Late July 2317, Judge did more work on the exterior and reworked the interior. At around this point a rival Trinova division led by Nedral stole the blueprints and made a separate subclass using the Quark's hull. This later came to be known as the Antiquark-class. The Hull was finally finished by Judge after about 1.75 years, and quickly seized by FlyingDebris, who designed and implemented the systems. Shortly after several Quarks were constructed and deployed to the LvD Cluster. 1 Quark has been lost to friendly fire.
== Usage ==
The Quark is designed to be used as a Combat Ship used where the larger Hidatsa-class Cruisers are too expensive to deploy, as such many Trinovan Officers are given the Quark before they are trusted with more valuable resources.
