	This ship is derived from Esarai's Arashi concept, which was in turn inspired by the [[UEFg Karuna]] and [[FD Vexor]]. However, there are several differences between it and the first concept. The original Arashi design was flipped to provide a stronger, more grounded appearance, the turret layout was built to custom order, and the ship's maps and animations were produced by a collaborative effort between Esarai, The E and Herra Tohtori. This first iteration was supposed to appear in [[Earth Defense]] as a flagship of solar forces and under original name of GTSD Arashi. ED team intended to assign FreeSpaceKing to paint alternate textures to resemble Orion. This version ~~can still be found in~~ Earth Defense ~~Dump~~, but ~~comes with placeholder~~ textures.

	This model is also somewhat infamous for breaking FSO at a few points, as its original iteration was too detailed for the [[pof]] model file format.

SaltyWaffles: Clarified that the Solaris destroyers fire SWARMS of torpedoes in order to threaten even GTVA destroyers, not that the torps are just that powerful themselves.

Clarified that the Solaris destroyers fire SWARMS of torpedoes in order to threaten even GTVA destroyers, not that the torps are just that powerful themselves.

	The be-all and end-all of the [[United Earth Federation\|UEF]], the '''UED ''Solaris''''' is the sole destroyer and carrier class of the UEF in [[Blue Planet]], as well as the largest and most powerful ship class in the entire Federation. The UEF has three of these behemoths in service, and each of them serve as mobile fortresses and a base of operations for the Federation's three fleets and their commanding officers.		The be-all and end-all of the [[United Earth Federation\|UEF]], the '''UED ''Solaris''''' is the sole destroyer and carrier class of the UEF in [[Blue Planet]], as well as the largest and most powerful ship class in the entire Federation. The UEF has three of these behemoths in service, and each of them serve as mobile fortresses and a base of operations for the Federation's three fleets and their commanding officers.

	The firepower that the ''Solaris'' wields is immense: of its 67 turrets, twelve of them fire anti-warship torpedoes that can threaten even the [[GTVA]]'s most powerful warships. Its anti-warship and anti-fighter armament is spread out evenly across the entire vessel, virtually eliminating any and all weak spots on the ship's frame.		The firepower that the ''Solaris'' wields is immense: of its 67 turrets, twelve of them fire swarms of anti-warship torpedoes that can threaten even the [[GTVA]]'s most powerful warships. Its anti-warship and anti-fighter armament is spread out evenly across the entire vessel, virtually eliminating any and all weak spots on the ship's frame.

	The fact that the Federation—and to some extent, the Ubuntu Council of Elders—only has three active ''Solaris'' destroyers, however, means that ''Solaris''-class destroyers are rarely seen on the front lines of battle despite their offensive and defensive capabilities. Instead, standard UEF doctrine has it that each ''Solaris'' destroyer deploys its complement of spacecraft for virtually all operations, while the destroyer in question is kept in a holding position around the planet or installation it is stationed at. The deployment of a ''Solaris'' destroyer in battle is often only used as a last resort, when it has no additional spacecraft to assist, or if the deployment of a smaller space-faring warship such as a [[UEFg Narayana\|''Narayana''-class frigate]] is infeasible or impossible. In addition, because each ''Solaris'' destroyer holds nearly an entire fleet of spacecraft, the destruction of any of these vessels will deal a crippling blow to the military strength and morale of the UEF and, in turn, the Council.
