	''Perhaps the best way to think of this vessel would be as a carrier, rather than as a combat destroyer.

While capable of defending itself against fighter and bomber threats, it is really out of its league fighting other warships. The Hecate's real strength is in its much larger complement of fighters and bombers, which give it a far greater theoretical striking power than the [[Orion]] does; like the carrier though, if this ship is caught at close range, it's toast.''}}		''Perhaps the best way to think of this vessel would be as a carrier, rather than as a combat destroyer.

	The '''GTD ''Hecate''''' is an [[Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance\|Allied]] [[Terrans\|Terran-designed]] destroyer, brought into service prior to the start of the [[Second Shivan Incursion]] to complement and ultimately replace the [[GTD Orion\|''Orion'' line of destroyers]]. While the ''Hecate'' lacks the sheer anti-warship armaments of the ''Orion'', it has a ~~slightly~~ larger fighterbay and much better anti-fighter and bomber defenses. The ''Hecate''<nowiki></nowiki>'s numerous engine subsystems also makes it harder to disable than an ''Orion''.

	One of the most famous ''Hecate''-class destroyers was the [[GTD Aquitaine\|GTD ''Aquitaine'']], flagship of the GTVA 3rd Fleet. The ''Aquitaine'' was the first Allied warship to enter the nebula beyond [[Gamma Draconis]] and played a major role during the [[NTF Rebellion]] as well as the Second Shivan Incursion.

	''My best guesses as to why the Hecate would, or could replace the [[GTD Orion\|Orion]] is that it costs much less, and that it holds an extra four and a half squadrons. (~~There~~ are twelve combat-craft in a squadron.) Also I suppose in an optimal battle scenario (if there is such a thing) the Hecate would be escorted by corvettes and cruisers.''

	''It does work well in a surgical strike role, hitting smaller warships with its considerable forward firepower before they have much chance to fight back. But if attacked by a warship from any direction but the front, it's in real trouble and needs to either leave fast or rely on bomber wings to take care of the threat.''

But if attacked by a warship from any direction but the front, it's in real trouble and needs to either leave fast or rely on bomber wings to take care of the threat.''


	~~''Oddly enough, I found this to be more vulnerable to bombers than an Orion.''~~


	''It depends at which side you decide to attack the Hecate. Because it has such a large surface area, it needs many more effective turrets to cover every nook and cranny of the Hecate. At certain angles, the Hecate has enough turrets to easily destroy a lot of bombers, but at others, it has far less coverage.''


	''At certain angles it is a fortress, but at others you can easily fly through light turret fire, or just disable the turret. In addition to this, the Hecate has exactly the same top speed and rotation time as the Orion. In effect, the Orion could also outmaneuver ships and attack from unguarded angles. I find the Hecate inferior to the Orion in almost every way.''
