The very first Falcon class destroyers date back to 1575, in the aftermath of the Dathedi War, being among the first generation of elven ships built under the unified banner of the newly-minted Royal Elven Kingdoms.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e      Over the past nearly eight centuries, the Falcon destroyer has significantly changed, with only the name and a rough similarity of shape in common between the first Falcons and the present.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e      The Falcon Destroyers of the previous century suffered from the lack of military innovation. Fundamentally a sound vessel, the Falcon struggled with being a little too generalised.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e      But when the first projects for the joint Royal Elven Navy and Saiyvalyss Alliance Kallvourassthi (lit. “night sky navy”) were discussed, the Falcon Destroyer was a natural fit. Sheer familiarity with the hull chassis and the expertise built up over centuries of use meant that the Falcon could be most easily adapted for a ground-up prototype. Many subsystems did not require changing, having already been optimised to perfection various configurations over the years. While the Saiyvali had more advanced hull techniques that would be of some benefit, producing a saiyvalyss hull would have required a completely new design and more extensive shipyards, compared to the comparatively lesser investment in systems.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e      The Falcon’s newest 2347 incarnation thus is serving as a test bed. Built on the tried-and-tested elven hull chassis, the Falcon’s engines have been replaced by more advanced saiyvalyss drives. These match and slightly exceed the Falcon’s previous specifications, bringing an acceleration of 16.9mc and 186 MEUs. This allowed an increase of 6% to the ships’ mass for a little over half the engine mass and volume, and the volume reduction also means the new Falcon is actually slightly sleeker too. A saiyvalyss-tech hyperdrive further increases the Falcon’s FTL speed by 17%.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e      The Falcon’s 1600TXq shields have been retained, as elven shield technology is superior, but they are now supplemented with saiyvalyss armour-plate rated at 420 TXq AIC for an additional layer of protection.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e      The sensor and communications systems have likewise been built to saiyvalyss standards, while superior elven secondary systems (towing tractors and teleporters) are retained.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e      The Falcon’s 1000TXq point-defence lasers have been removed. Additional mass saved from the new engines allowed them to be replaced with a more extensive system of saiyvalyss point-defence blasters and syvri, totalling a net 2210TXq output. With an engagement sphere of 2.34Ym³, more than double the lazer’s 1.1Ym³, the 2347 Falcon has doubled its point-defence capability for only a 50% increase of mass and volume.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e      The Falcon’s 500TXq spinal lazer cannon remains the centre piece of its anti-capital ship firepower. But with the other improvements, the Falcon’s remaining weapons payload is higher.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e      Three weapons configurations have been developed and are being tested.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e      The first configuration Aurë (sunlight), supplements the spinal cannon with two additional lazer cannons, bringing the net spinal weapon output to 1020TXq, over a 420 000km accuracy envelope. Four lazer batteries bring a total 416TXq output that can be brought over a similar range against a target at any aspect.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e      The new Falcon is, perforce, significantly more expensive to produce, on account of the advanced technology. Even when full production lines are operational, it is expected that the resource cost alone is likely to increase by 27% to 85% over the older Falcon. However, the increase of offence and defence in considered well worth the extra expense.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e      The Falcons are still undergoing testing to iron out any problems – particularly stemming from the mixed technology, but it is likely that the 2347 Falcon may enter production by the end of the 2348.               \r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e    ","brand":"Only-Games","offers":[{"title":"Digital","offer_id":49637868437731,"sku":"73dda554-0494-4279-8700-435f9a8707f0","price":3.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical","offer_id":49637868470499,"sku":"03c54073-2363-4f4c-942a-26a2cfa0b0cc","price":13.22,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0299\/7711\/6804\/files\/framed_c0923e69509a.png?v=1788027366","url":"https:\/\/only-games.co\/en-de\/products\/re101a-falcon-aure-destroyer","provider":"Only-Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
