History
The Versailles class destroyer is essentially a modified Atmos Class destroyer. The removal of two particle-beam installations and 90 VLS cells freed up enough internal space and extra power to allow the installation of an FTL warp drive. However, even with the removal of multiple weapons systems, the FTL drive makes the Versailles class comparatively more expensive than the Atmos Class and, as such, fewer units have been purchased.
Design
To fulfill the intended purposes of escort and patrol, the Atmos class incorporates a wide variety of high-powered sensors. These sensor systems include high-resolution infrared, visible, and ultraviolet optical sensors; high-power multi-band radar, gravimetric sensors, and various sub and hyperspace sensors. These sensors are tied into a state of the art weapons system that primarily uses long-range relativistic missiles. With these sensors, an Atmos destroyer can typically detect and intercept a threat before it has a chance to return fire.
