	{{shipimage\|image=[[Image:~~demon320x240~~.jpg]]\|caption=The SD Demon}}		The '''SD ''Demon''''' is a [[Shivans\|Shivan]] destroyer that was first encountered by the [[Terrans]] and [[Vasudans]] during the [[Great War]]. During that time, it was the only class of destroyer-type vessel belonging to the Shivans that accompanied the [[SD Lucifer\|SD ''Lucifer'']]. While the ''Demon'' lacks the planetary bombardment capabilities, hull strength and sheath shield system of the ''Lucifer''-class, its cavernous fighterbay, capable of holding up to two fighter squadrons, as well as its numerous turrets, makes it a threat to any ship in the [[Galactic Terran Alliance]] and [[Parliamentary Vasudan Navy]].

			During the [[Second Shivan Incursion]], the Shivans were known to have deployed at least one ''Demon''-class destroyer against the [[Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance]]. Skirmishes with these vessels have revealed that, in the thirty-two years since the Great War, the Shivans have strengthened the hulls of these vessels and equipped them with beam weaponry.

			The ''Demon'''s most significant failing is in the placement and durability of its engine subsystem, which can be easily neutralised by a bomber strike, rendering the destroyer immobile.

	While the Demon-class Destroyer is easily one of the most massive ships we have yet seen, it is not the biggest or most powerful in the Shivan armada.

It is suggested that these capital ships be destroyed by bombers, as all cruisers that have attempted to engage a Demon have been destroyed.~~<br><br>~~		While the Demon-class Destroyer is easily one of the most massive ships we have yet seen, it is not the biggest or most powerful in the Shivan armada.

The Demon appears to be more of a defensive destroyer, given that its main guns, the two [[LRed\|LReds]], are not forward-facing. An easy target if attacked from the front.


	Do not underestimate the firepower of this destroyer. If its front beams aren't disabled quickly, even a [[GVCv Sobek\|Sobek-class]] corvette won't survive for very long in its sights. Trust me, I saw what happened to the [[FreeSpace_2_Vasudan_Ship_Database#GVCv_Thebes\|Thebes]] when I failed to blow them up fast enough on the lowest difficulty level. The Demon may only have one [[SAAA]] on either side of it, but they have a full field of fire to the front and sides. Furthermore, you don't even know where they are until they hit you...and then, it may be too late. Also note that Demon-class warships tend to get disabled fairly easily because of their large and relatively weak engine subsystem, which can be neutralized by just one and a half Helios.
