The De Ward-Class Destroyer is a Guided Missile destroyer designed by Freetowne Shipyards in Zokesia. Designed in the 2180s, the type has seen considerable development and a long and difficult process to become operational. As of 2200, no hulls were laid down of the type, though production of the first vessel was scheduled to begin in Q1 of 2202.

Service History

In 2204, the first De Ward laid down, DDG-4000 Caspian de Ward was launched, and production quickly ramped up to two ships per year following assistance from PLAID engineers assisting with technical issues.
