Leyak-class stealth destroyer

Compact code name Slash.

Leyaks were built around two systems: extremely advanced cloaking technology, and four fortress-scale missile launchers. They have a single antiship particle beam and point defense systems. It was an experimental design, more of a proof of concept and had yet to be fully tested or vetted as a battle-line unit. Their shift systems were rudimentary and only capable of very short warp jumps with high cool-down periods and were utterly incapable of keeping pace with more modern starships. However, their heavy weapons systems for their size and the ability to slip in and out of hiding with ease made them relatively effective during Operation Kursk.

Other than Rangda, none of the other Leyaks had individual designations, their identities delineated solely by hull markings and IFF codes, e.g: DDK(S)-01.5.2 - Leyak Two.

Only one repaired ship from that class survived Operation Kursk. After Operation Vetala they were replaced by more advanced Leyak II-class stealth destroyers.
