Annihilation Close Escort

BARD PAPER: SARA5035

Annihilation Class Close Escort

In 1014 the Solomani navy begain its' Close escort high mobility program (CEHM). The CEHM program called for a ship to be able to make at least 2 jump of at least jump 4 without refueling and still have 40g of maneuvering left when completing these jumps. OF the six ship entered in the competion the eventual winner was the Annihilation Class close Escort.

Filling the requirment of the CEHM project plus Mcgirk's Aero-space promise to "Crank 'em out" was enoguth to win the competion. For the next several years McGirk Aerospace, and many other companies cranked out large number of the Annihilation Class. This high volume production ended when the Solomani navy took the Annihilaiton out of front-line service and placed most of them into reserve fleets and secondary roles.

The Solomani navy regarede the Annihilatiuon as something of mixed blessing The Annihilation had an enormous amount of mobility and maneuver fuel, but only average fire power. This lack of fire power and sparse hull armor was a handicap for the Annihilation when fighting first line Imperaial forces. Also duty on this ship was less then desirable. The Annihilation is a tight design, the crew quarters are crammed in under the engineering section, and only a long thin tube connects the bridge to the rest of the ship. Furthermore the Annihilation requires a large amount of maintenance, This meant long hours for the ships crew.
