"For glorious purpose." -Official motto of the LNS Loki

Lore

Overview

The Loki-class destroyer serves as Lykania’s premier guided-missile destroyer (DDG), combining stealth technology, advanced firepower, and cutting-edge defensive systems to dominate modern naval warfare. Designed for multi-role operations, the Loki-class is capable of anti-air, anti-ship, land-attack, and missile defense missions, ensuring strategic superiority across the seas. Engineered with an angular, low-RCS hull and a sleek, futuristic superstructure, the Loki-class is designed for reduced radar cross-section, allowing it to operate undetected in hostile waters. Its integrated sensor suite and advanced electronic warfare (EW) systems provide enhanced situational awareness and defense against enemy detection.

Background and Development

The Loki-class destroyer was the result of the NGLN program, nicknamed Project Jotunn. After originally purchasing Taluvan DDGs in the 1990s, the Lykanian government realized that, while enough to carry the weight, the Taluvan DDG, nicknamed the Heimdall-class, were not capable of carrying out Lykania's doctrine. The first submissions arrived in 1999, with Drakon Naval submitting the design for a stealth-capable vessel capable of carrying out marine and ground operations. The design was selected in 2001, with Drakon Naval receiving the green light for construction in early 2002. Initially scheduled for completion in 2008, the project faced numerous delays. The first Loki-class destroyer, and lead ship, LNS Loki, was finally launched in June of 2011. To date, 47 of the planned 95 ships have been completed.

Operational History

Finally entering service in 2012, the Loki-class has seen combat numerous times. They were deployed to Serenia in 2014, though in limited numbers, in order to provide assistance to crippled Andressian forces during the Andressian Civil War. They were also crucial in Lykania's success in repelling Liberty Bay's assault during the 2021 Cascadian Uprising, serving as a second line of defense against enemy air assets.

Gameplay

Oh, yeah, we got shimps now. This thing was pretty fun to build, though making it Ocean-compatible was kind of a pain. It's got a complex weapon system, so here's the overview on them:

155mm Jotunn Mk. 10 Naval Gun – A high-precision, long-range gun for surface bombardment and engaging enemy warships. Ag. 7 to activate, VTOL and Trim to aim.

127mm Surtur Mk. 5 Naval Gun – A versatile deck gun for engaging both air and surface threats. Ag. 6 to activate, capable of auto-aim.

LCM-95 Cruise Missiles – Capable of long-range strikes against enemy ships and land targets. Always active.

Jormungandr AA Missiles – State-of-the-art air defense missiles designed to intercept aircraft and incoming projectiles. Ag. 5 to activate.

LIMD-11 Archer AA Missiles – High-precision, semi-active radar-guided missiles for air superiority. Ag. 4 to activate.

Modified Phalanx CIWS – A last-ditch defense system to neutralize incoming threats, such as missiles and drones. Ag. 3 to activate, capable of auto-aim.

Odin Mk. II TLS CIWS – A tactical laser system for advanced close-in protection, capable of disabling incoming munitions before impact. Ag. 4 to activate, capable of auto-aim.

I mean, other than that, I don't have much else. I gotta hand out some creds, though.
