Victorious-class

The Victorious-class was a class of large and incredibly long destroyer formerly operated by the Aesthetican Navy and Trident Foundries.
== Description ==
The Victorious-class destroyer was a 289 metre-long assault destroyer designed for use in the Aesthetican Navy. Inspired by the Trinova Technologies Rockhopper-class frigate, the Victorious-class was a testbed for various ship-building techniques, and set the standard for future Aesthetican vessels.
Its plethora of armament and large interior makes it more suited to the role of an assault destroyer, rather than a heavy destroyer. It has a single, large sublight engine specifically designed to suit its shape, and despite its size, the destroyer is sorely lacking in speed. Amongst the primary armament are two heavy gun-pods on the ventral of the destroyer, an ion beam array, and a large missile silo. Victorious also possesses four secondary beam turrets.
== History ==
Originally built as a test-bed for different construction techniques, upon completion the Victorious-class was pushed into service with the Aesthetican Navy, despite being incredibly under-powered.
A later revisit to the ship saw it ready to fight by 2317, but on the 15th of January that year, Aesthetica became a devolved state of Trident Foundries. A repainted variant of the destroyer was planned, and the Victorious-class was set to serve as a front-line assault destroyer for Trident Foundries later in the year. However, in the summer of the same year, tensions between the two merged states began to strain during what became known as the Aesthetican Crisis, and the Victorious project was postponed indefinitely. 
There are whispers of a replacement destroyer drifting upon the Outer Rim, however, the Aesthetican Resistance denies any plans for a replacement of the Victorious.
== Usage ==
The Victorious-class has, in addition to its primary role as assault, been used in the following roles:
* Command ship
* Planetary assault ship
