Introduction | 2690 CE |
The Aegis Javelin is a destroyer utilized by the United Empire of Earth Navy (UEEN). Designed as a modular spacecraft, the UEEN could make major conversions to the Javelin for different roles rather than constructing individual specialized capital ships. Javelins are used as convoy escorts, fleet support, orbital fire suppression, reconnaissance in force, and fast interception missions. Surplus Javelins have been sold on the civilian market.[1] The ship features a total of five decks, each with a variety of crew positions and areas to explore and utilize.[2]

Flights
There have been three Javelin Flights, detailed below.[7]
Flight | Start of Production | End of Production | Retirement | Details |
---|---|---|---|---|
Flight 1 | 2690 | 2790 | Began 2810, complete by 2840 | The original model designed by Aegis Dynamics. Role-reassignment refits of this model would take several days in a shipyard. |
Flight 2 | 2790 | 2820 | Began 2915 | A redesign that largely bypassed Aegis, focussing on interior improvements. This revision improved modularity, allowing rapid refits in the field. |
Flight 3 | 2820 | Present | Earliest models being retired currently | Focused on defenses, reworking the shield system, and introducing point defense guns and sensors to increase anti-fighter coverage. As a result, the Javelin gained another major role, serving as part of a multi-ship bomber screen for larger fleet movements. |

Development
The Javelin is designed by David Hobbins (Freelance Conceptist) in 2014 and then worked on by the team in Foundry 42 UK.[2]
The Javelin was sold to backers in limited batches of 200 ships in 2014 and 2015 (for a total of 400 ships). The batches were described as an allotment of battle-tested 'surplus' ships and were sold stripped of weapon systems and with some wear. Organizations that plan to use the Javelin should expect additional costs due to repairs and upgrades before active use of the ship.[2]
