Variable Long Distance Relay Destroyer (C/A Spyder Class)

[Stickperson]

the spyder was developed by the Zanadaran Station called Laythaeris, the first plans for the spyder were for long distance sensing and blocking enemy sensors, which were made in 1205 AC, the spyder quickly became popular with new captains around in the Zanadaran Empire, the design (because it was simple but effective) was expaneded upon, giving it more realying and scanning equiptment.
the next set of plans for the spyder were made in 1395 AC, this is when the variable classes C/A were built, these were more expensive than the original spyders, but were alot more effective at the jobs it was meant for.
Finally, in 1602 AC the spyders were outfitten with a deadly jamming weapon, one that could shut down an opposing vessels life support systems, as well as turrets and main weapons, before sapping all power from the enemy vessel by "latching" on to it, and leeching power.

the spyder is thought to be a frigate, but it is infact a destroyer, it is heavily armoured, and some courageous captains have outfitten it with turrets and primary guns.

It Became part of the Equatorial 1st Fleets 3rd company in 1904 AC
