Specificity:
the Olan-Class destroyer from the LDPD is the most maneuverable and fastest destroyer in the Local Group
as with the Mirrin-Class frigate, this outstanding performance is achieved by the overloaded gravimetric engine, a special technology that is used exclusively by the Lucian Alliance
due to the performance of the sub-light drive, the operational profile of the Olan-Class is more similar to the operational profile of the frigates of other factions than the operational profile of the destroyers of the other factions or is most likely a mixture of frigates and destroyers
on the one hand, Olan destroyers are big enough to complete the peacetime missions that are typical for destroyers, i.e. long-range and long-term patrols of up to 6 months, the Olan-Class has a capacity of up to 5 months, which is an absolute average is (Vaselov- / Rya'C-Class = approx. 3 ½ months (13-14 weeks); Na'Sab- /Wa'si-Class = 4 months; Exploratori-Class = 6 months)
On the other hand, due to the powerful sublight drive and the, compared to frigates, strong armament, the Olan-Class is the perfect frigate hunter in a battle formation
in a battle, these destroyers are therefore rarely found escorting cruisers and battleships; curiously, the frigate takes on this task at the LDPD, but the destroyers swarm in groups across the battlefield to hunt down enemy frigates and as heavy support for the allies space fighter
however, like all LDPD ship classes, the Olan-Class pays for this high maneuverability/speed with a relatively weak armament for, in this case, a destroyer class
critics of the LDPD's fleet doctrine, which is heavily based on speed and maneuverability, therefore refer to the Olan-Class as a "heavy frigate", but ignore that the armament of the destroyers of the Na'Sab-Class and also those of the Wa'si-Class is very similar (however, these two Jaffa destroyers are also 15% smaller than the Olan-class)
another special feature of the Olan-Class is that, thanks to its powerful engines, but also the shape of the hull, it can not only land on planetary surfaces, like the destroyers of the other factions, but they can also land on water surfaces, are even submersible, and can start again, as well as the Mirrin-Class frigates, Koz-Class cruisers and Varro-Class battleships
the LDPD uses this fact for underwater military bases for space crafts, unique in the entire known area of the universe, which also gives the LDPD unique defense possibilities in the event of a defense
(The new drive concept for the LDPD ships is inspired by outboard motors.)
