==Overview:==
The Star League Essex Class destroyer entered service in 2711 as a
replacement for the unimpressive Naga, Baron and Carson Class WarShips. The
swift, reliable Essex saw extensive action, especially in the Periphery,
because its resilient design enabled it to take more punishment than other
destroyers of the era. The vessel's weaponry, although not as powerful as that
of newer Inner Sphere or Clan vessels, surpassed most destroyer arsenals of
the time in firepower and reliability. The remaining Essex Class vessels still
rely on naval autocannons to provide their main offensive punch and are
capable of crippling most targets within a few minutes. Lasers and particle
cannons enable the vessels to keep potential threats from approaching too
close and destroy most DropShips with one or two volleys. However, the design
is lightly armored and most Essex captains avoid confronting a powerful enemy
directly.
The Nirasaki Computer Collective supplied the standard computer for the
Star League Essex vessels. Those computers were not particularly powerful or
versatile, and most Clan vessels have been refitted with the Athena-3, a
computer superior to those available during the Star League. The Athena-3
system can handle most shipboard functions, allowing the vessel to operate
with a skeleton crew of only 25. However, most of the time the system operates
in a monitor mode, tracking shipboard functions without taking control of the
systems.
Less than 30 Essex Class destroyers survived the campaign to liberate
Terra following the Amaris coup, and these few vessels departed with the
Exodus fleet in 2784. Essex Class vessels have been observed in the Steel
Viper and Smoke Jaguar fleets.
At the same time the Snow Ravens started the refit/upgrade of their McKenna
Class Battleship, they decided to see if a more radicail upgrade to a
exsisting ship could be done, the ship selected was their sole Essex class
destroyer, Eternity, work started in 3056 at the same time the McKenna's Refit
was started and was completed in 3058, unlike the McKenna which was a relative
cost efficent upgrade, the cost for the upgraded Essex was high, something in
the range of 3.2 billion , but what the Snow Ravens eneded up with made it
well worth the cost.
