This article is about the Kripitera-class Astro Destroyer from Space Battleship Yamato 2199 and its sequels. For its counterpart in the original Space Battleship Yamato, see Destroyer-type Destroyer ship.
The Kripitera-class Astro Destroyer is a space combat ship class operating in the Great Imperial Garmillas Astro Fleet and, formerly in the Imperial Guard.
Armaments and Technical Specifications[]
The Kripitera-class is a second-class astro armored ship operated by the Greater Garmillan Empire, and is the most commonly used class of Garmillas warship. In addition to being a complementary weapon, they are also highly maneuverable and therefore become the center of rapid attacks on enemy targets.[2] The numerous torpedoes and missiles they're equipped with can easily penetrate the hulls 2199-era United Nations Cosmo Navy ships.[1] However, Kripitera-class destroyers themselves are lightly armored and only protected by a layer of thin but durable Migobeuza plating, which capable of repelling most small beam weapons, but is easily damaged or destroyed by high-caliber beam weapons and explosive projectile weapons.[4][5][6]
History[]
The Kripitera class served in almost every major battle between the Garmillas armed forces and the United Nations. In January 17, 2199, the Teron Attack Force fielded more than eighty-nine Kripiteras during Operation M.[1] In February of the same year, they were all destroyed during an attack on the Pluto Frontline Base launched by UNCF battleship Yamato.[5] In March, four Kripiteras under the command of Major General Gremdt Goer were sucked into a dimensional rift during the Skirmish Outside of the Dimensional Rift.[7]
hundreds of Kripitera during the First Battle against Domel
Hundreds of Kripiteras from the 6th Armored Space Division under the command of Admiral Elk Domel participated in the Battle of the Small Magellanic Cloud Outskirts against the Gatlantis Empire's forces.[8] Multiple Imperial Guard Kripiteras partook in the Alteria Suppression.[6] Later, various Kripiteras from the 6th Armored Space Division participated in the First Battle against Domel to destroy the Yamato before being forced to retreat due to the orders of Vice Leader Redof Hiss.[6] On May 14.[9] the bulk of the Garmillas Empire's naval forces, including a vast number of Kripiteras, gathered at the Balun Military Base to attend a naval review cerimony and were caught up in the Planet Balun Breakthrough Operation.[10]
In August,[11] four Kripiteras under the command of Brigadier General Pasiv Vandevel were destroyed in a surprise attack by a Gatlantean fleet. Around the same time, five Kripiteras part of the 8th Security Fleet disappeared to the mysterious planet Shambleau and were destroyed in a battle against Gatlantis. On September 21, two Kripiteras under the Goer Guard Fleet participated in the Battle with Desler in Subspace.[12][13]
On December 29, 2202,[9] nine Kripiteras under the control of the Anti-Garmillas Rule Destruction Liberation Army fought and were destroyed in the Battle on Planet Stravase.[14] On June 2, hundreds of Garmillas ships, including various Kripiteras, fought against Gatlantis during the Golem Assault Battle.[15]
Following the fall of the Desler administration, several Kripitera destroyers that were originally part of the Guards Astro Fleet and Imperial Guard had gone AWOL along with ships from the regular forces.[16] These warships eventually fell under the control of Lieutenant General Ghader Talan and rendezvoused with the fallen Supreme Leader Desler.[17] These ships would remain at Desler's service for the remainder of the Garmillas Civil War and Gatlantis Campaign and later followed him in his search for a new home planet for the Garmillas race in collaboration with the Garmillas Provisional Government between 2204 and 2205.[17][18][19][20][21]
