Eris-class

The Eris-class is a class of advanced destroyers, previously in service with Trident Foundries.
== Description ==
The Eris-class is a vaguely wedge-shaped class of advanced destroyers. These vessels utilised the latest technological breakthroughs from the Trident Science Department and were also heavily armed with conventional weaponry, including plasma cannons and Ion cannons, and had excellent turret coverage with four plasma cannon turrets and four Ion cannon turrets. They were protected by a conventional 3-million terawatt deflector shield systems and heavy armour plating.
Further information concerning the experimental systems onboard Variant X is CLASSIFIED according to Trident Security Directive 301.
== History ==
=== 2316 ===
In early February, Mr Crazy began designing a new destroyer hull, which he called the Eris. The hull was later abandoned and left to drift.
In late June, Mr Crazy found, refurbished and completed the hull and handed it over to Jake Lancia for system fitting. He initially created a highly experimental system setup, which he nicknamed Variant X.
A month later, Jake revisited the ship again, and refit it with more conventional systems, and commissioned the class as destroyers. Variant X remained as a technology testbed.
In late September, the Eris-class vessel TRV York CV-2005 was involved in combined ops with Trinova Technologies' flagship TTS Blue Ridge.
=== 2317 ===
The first Trident warship constructed in the cleansed Elwyn Galaxies was the TRV Charon CV-2202 of the Eris-class, in early January.
Just after the Charon was completed the Eris-class was temporarily discontinued as work began on yet another refit to bring the Eris' external armour plating and main colour scheme in line with the rest of the fleet. This refit was completed in early February.
In early March a variant of the Eris, the Enforcer-class, was added to the fleet. The Enforcer is an up-armoured variant which has replaced the Eris in frontline roles.
=== 2318 ===
The Eris-class was phased out of the Trident fleet following a major review and shake-up of Trident ship classes in early January, and blueprints of the vessel are being sold via the StarMade Dock public marketplace.
== Usage ==
The Eris-class has, in addition to it's primary role as a destroyer, been used in the following roles:
* Command Ship
