Iconoclast-class Destroyer

Roving squadrons of Iconoclast-class Destroyers have been a constant peril to shipping. Mainly used by pirates and other lawless bands, the Iconoclast is similar in design to a variety of small escort ships turned out by almost every shipyard. Although compact, they carry a fearsome amount of firepower for their size and when encountered in numbers can be a threat to even a capital ship. In fleet actions, they mainly engage enemy escorts, gun down attack craft and destroy incoming torpedoes. The Carrion Squadron, a band of renegades operating off the Duran moon, became infamous for their skill at convoy attacks, daringly darting amongst the convoy's defence vessels to destroy the transports before escaping. The Lost Souls also achieved notoriety for their part in the Faustus Assault. It was their vicious hit-and-run attacks that destroyed half of Faustus' orbital defences, allowing the Excessive and Plagueclaw to bombard that world in preparation for the subsequent landing.
