The Exeter class Destroyer was a common type of capital ship used by the Terran Confederation in the mid 27-th century. They were roughly triangular in shape.

Notes Edit

Exeters were classified officially as destroyers, but were often referred to colloquially as battleships. Besides serving in planetary sieges, one-on-one ship battles, and amphibious assaults, some destroyers acted as transports for dignitaries and high-ranking personnel. They could carry a squadron of 18 fighters. They were not particularly strong when faced by a massive starfighter ambush from the Kilrathi, and as a result pilots from other vessels often had to aid in their defense in such an incident.

Exeters were eventually replaced by the more powerful Gilgamesh-class Destroyers of the 2660s. Remaining Exeters served at least until the end of the Kilrathi War.
