    It's probably the Nausicaan ship, although last I heard that was a "seige raider". Maybe they changed the name?

    I suppose "Siege Raider" is just one of the many sub-classifications that would fall into a TBI Destroyer category, like "Assault Cruiser" for T5 Fed Cruisers.

    If Raiders are akin to Frigates and the Siege Raider is an uber-heavy "sort of" Raider, the term Destroyer would fit, by placing the Nausicaan ship somewhere between Frigates (BoPs/Raptors) and Cruisers. Just a theory, ofc.

    Pretty sure the Nussican ship was originally going to be in the raider group (going by things Dstalh has said around the forums) and that the B'rel refit was going to come out later or some such. pretty sure that was why Dstahl coined the term 'siege raider' not sure it was ever the official classification.

    Destroyer would make sense for a "Yesterday's Enterprise"-style Galaxy, as the ship in that episode wasn't so much a cruiser as halfway between an escort and a carrier.

    It was a troop transport, run from the Battle Bridge. Had a different crew size. Everything down to the Cetacean lab was weaponized.

    Poor Dr. Evil... Even Captain Picard had frickin' sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their frickin' heads.
