Background
The Glory-class Destroyer is part of the New Fleet Modernization Program and was designed to replace the older and war weary Configurate D-class Destroyer.
Design
Released Year 8 of the Sethas-Po'leks Wars of Aggression, the Glory-class Destroyer was the first major capital ship to enter the Terran Federation's Fleet, as part of the NFMP. It's arrival signaled a massive shift in Terran Federation Military doctrine throughout the war; the Glory-class would carry less troops and ground vehicles and instead would focus more on anti-ship, anti-starfighter, and other space-focused roles. The arrival of the Liberty-class Assault Ships a year later would explain the shift in doctrine. Designed with speed, weaponry, and technology in mind, the Glory-class is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, from armor, Shields, weaponry, and a whole standard for engine technology for the Terran Federation. Fast-tracking targeting computers enables the Glory- class to track starfighters and gunships even with their larger weaponry.

Systems
"With highly sophisticated sensors and communications, a single Liberty-class Assault Ship could act as a mobile command post for a world-wide invasion and often surpassed Super Carriers in command post roles during planetary invasions."

Communications: Tactical Communications' Tactical III Far Reach Communications Operating System (TAC-FRC for short)
Targeting Systems: SureTarget System's SureTarget Space Superiority Tactical Computer Targeting Systems Package (SureTarget-TSP for short)
