Super Destroyer

The Class 6 Series Crewed Interplanetary Combat Vessel, better known as the Super Destroyer, is a faster-than-light capable warship mass produced for use by the Helldivers of the Super Earth Armed Forces (SEAF). Upon reading the Contract of Employment and completing Helldiver training, each Helldiver is assigned command of a Super Destroyer to carry out his or her mission.

General
The Super Destroyer is a relatively small combat vessel approximately 170 meters long and 80 meters wide. The Alcubierre Drive enables the Super Destroyer to navigate to any planet in the galaxy within seconds by warping time and space around the vessel. Super Destroyers are fueled by Element 710, an oil-like substance produced as a side-effect of Bug/Terminid decomposition. Super Destroyers typically have names in the following format: SES (Super Earth Ship) Noun of Noun, for example: SES Shield of the People; however the generic Super Destroyers seen in the distance are always labeled "SS LIBERTY".

Exterior
The rear consists of 10 large engines which the Super Destroyer uses to navigate local space around planets. The rear is flanked by two very large bracket-shaped panels that house the four outer engines. The middle hull consists of a large wide structure with what appear to be loading bays along the side. The front extends far over the bridge and consists of 2 long pillars flanking a larger center pillar, an antenna array stands at the tip of the center pillar.

Interior
The rear of the ship consists of the hangar where the Pelican is parked; on an upgraded Super Destroyer, the Eagle is also parked in the hangar, and a large amount of ordinance is stored in the open. At the back of the hangar is a small access portal to the engine room. The main deck is an open area where the Ship Master and the Service Technician can be found. To the left is the Robotics Workshop and the Patriotic Administration Center, and on the right is the Cryogenic Chamber and the Engineering Workshop. The main deck also houses the Stratagem Hero arcade machine and a large television screen that shows news updates, commercials, and the 'Brasch Tactics' series of tips.

Through the first bulkhead is the Armory on the left and a series of computers on the right, the loading bays seen on the exterior of the ship are inaccessible and cannot be seen. Beyond the second bulkhead lies the Bridge where the Democracy Officer monitors the ship and it's crew. A holographic map of the universe is used by the Helldiver to select which planet to go to and which operation to take part in, and Hellpod launchers are positioned at the front of the Bridge next to the windows.

A belt of Hellpods for delivering Helldivers and their Stratagems to the field run along the left side of the Super Destroyer, from the Robotics workshop to the front of the Bridge where Hellpods are loaded and launched. Additionally, two belts of artillery ammunition run along the ceiling of the bridge.

Armaments
Super Destroyers are armed with a very wide variety of weapons mounted in front of and beneath the bridge. Visible weapons forward of the bridge include a one or two large cannons, two large self-loading rocket pods, and two large Gatling guns; 2 large triple-barreled naval guns are also visible mounted on the hull beneath the bridge. The only named weapon is the ATLAS Cannon, which fires the Precision Strike.

The Super Destroyer is capable of firing a it's precision ATLAS Cannon, Gatling gun, 120mm and 380mm Artillery, specialized Gas, EMS, and Airburst shells, a high intensity Laser, and a high velocity Railcannon.

Trivia

 * The generic model for a Super Destroyer depicts it with the Level 2 Orbital Cannon upgrade.
 * The holographic and blueprints for the Super Destroyer depict it with four twin-turrets in front of the Bridge, rather than the variety of cannons, missile pods, and Gatling guns actually available.
 * New production Super Destroyers have a single large cannon mounted in front of the deck, this cannon is replaced with two identical cannons mounted across from each other when the Level 1 Orbital Cannon upgrade is unlocked.
 * New production Super Destroyers are only partially completed. The Engineering Workshop, Robotics Workshop, Patriotic Administration Center, and Bridge are still under construction or require installation of equipment, the hangar is empty, saved for the Pelican, and the ship is features only a skeleton crew.
 * A fully upgraded Super Destroyer has a crew of approximately 24-30 personnel.
 * Helldivers are financially responsible for the repair of a damaged Super Destroyer. If the Helldiver is killed, the bill is subtracted from the Martyrdom Payment the family would receive.
 * A crew member on the inaccessible part of the Bridge has an interaction prompt, but if a player glitches their way over to her, she has no dialog or responses.
 * The hangar can be seen but cannot be accessed without bugs or glitches. If one does end up in the hangar, the floor around the elevator is not solid, and players can fall out of the ship.
 * Because the floor is not solid, sometimes one of the ship crewmen will be standing under the floor. They can only be seen by glitching into the hangar and falling through the non-solid floor to the solid platform below. This crew member can also be interacted with like the one above, but also has no dialog or responses.
