The Kripitera Class Astro Destroyer is a space combat ship class operating in the Garmillas Imperial Astro Fleet.

Armaments and Technical Specifications

Kripitera are second class destroyers in the Garmillan fleet, and are the most common Garmillas warship class in service. In addition to their compliment of weapons, they are also very maneuverable and have thus become central to fast strike attacks against enemy targets.[3] Kripitera torpedoes and missiles can easily penetrate the hulls of ships in the United Nations Cosmo Navy ("Messenger of Iscandar"). However, Kripitera ships themselves are lightly armored and are easily damaged or destroyed by high-caliber beam weapons and explosive projectile weapons ("Escape from the Jupiter Sphere", "The Sun Sets on Pluto", "Point of No Return").

History

The Kripitera-class served in almost every major battle between the Imperial Astro Fleet and the Earth battleship Yamato during its voyage to Iscandar. Besides its extensive involvement in the Garmillas-Earth War, this warship class also participated in other theaters, including the Battle of the Small Magellanic Cloud Outskirts against the Gatlantis Empire ("A World I Once Saw").
