Derriphan-class destroyer

The Derriphan-class destroyer was a designed and built by the -based Dreshdae Systems as a workhorse starship and minor  for the rising Sith League.

Design ethos
The Derriphan-class destroyer was created to serve primarily as a support ship for the larger, bulkier Dwomutsiqsa-class carrier; though the Derriphan was considered large and heavily-armed enough to serve as a capital ship in its own right in the absence of its larger cousin.

Like the Dwomutsiqsa, the Derriphan, from the word for "devourer," shared the famous revolutionary triangular starship design first implemented by Dreshdae Systems, and it was a surprisingly nimble ship in its own right despite its size, easily able to out-maneuver and out-gun other similarly-sized destroyers of its time.

However, the Derriphan lacked a large crew and possessed little room for cargo storage, meaning that such ships were unable to stray far from their fleets or battle groups before quickly running out of provisions. Similarly, due to the great amount of space taken up by the ships's and, the ships had little room to store escort starfighters and Sith League Navy Marines, and thus were ill-prepared to launch ground assaults in their own right.
