	*; Caspar II Control Ship : Designed and built by the [[Word of Blake]] to control the drone fighters used in their [[SDS]] system, three ''Naga'' WarShips whose [[K-F Drive|K-F Drives]] were destroyed were outfitted with command and control systems. The heavy armor plating and in-system mobility allowed these three ships to evade combat and control the drone defense systems much longer than a controller on the ground or even in a space station. The fact that they carried heavy armor and capital weapons also contributed to their battlefield longevity. In addition, these command vessels were equipped with thirty-six [[Advanced Robotic Transport System]]-equipped fighter bays, allowing them to carry and deploy ''[[Hive]]''-class aerospace Fighter sized drones. Further capitalizing on the space available, the standard weaponry was augmented with ten [[SCL/2]], nine [[SCL/1]], thirty-two [[Large Variable Speed Pulse Laser|Large Variable Speed Pulse Lasers]], and thirty-two [[Artemis IV]]-enhanced [[MML-9]] launchers. These weapons are perfect for destroying enemy aerospace fighters.

The class was launched in [[2645]] and was intended as a replacement for the venerable ''[[Essex I]]''-class destroyer. The ''Naga'' was extremely successful in its role, and became the core class of vessel for Star League fleets for a half-century. The success of the ''Naga'' stemmed from one trait alone: lower price tags. However, that is not to say the ''Naga'' is lacking to meet a budget: the class mounts an effective and concentrated mix of weapons, with combat focused on short-ranged naval engagements. However, the class’s dependence on ammunition, lack of agility, and thin armor mean that the ''Naga'' is not intended for independent missions, though it can operate for an extended time from its own stores.<ref name=TRO:3057Rp206/> The ''Naga''-class formed the core of Star League escort fleets for 50 years until it was replaced by the upgraded ''Essex II''-class destroyer, commissioned in [[2707]] and launched in [[2711]]; an odd twist of fate, considering the class was originally commissioned to replace the original ''Essex I''-class. An unknown number of ''Nagas'' left with the [[Star League-in-Exile]] on [[Operation EXODUS]],<ref name=MUL/> while five ''Naga''-class vessels were known to have survived the [[Amaris Civil War]] in the Inner Sphere. The ''[[Blue Lotus]]'' was a [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]] vessel destroyed by the Lyran Commonwealth above [[Luthien]].<ref name="FSWp47">''First Succession War'', p. 47-48, "Steiner Strikes Back: Luthien and Dieron"</ref> Four others were found entangled with [[ComStar]] and the [[Word of Blake]] breakaway sect. One, the RWN ''[[Dystopia]]'', was found by ComStar in [[3051]] in a ruined [[Rim Worlds Republic]] system with no further verified information on the vessel to be found,<ref name="M&Mp217">''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 217, "Gregory Zwick"</ref> though a ''Naga'' undergoing refurbishment at the [[Ruins of Gabriel]] was scuttled before Anti-WoB [[Stone's Coalition|Coalition]] forces could capture it during the [[Jihad|Blakist Jihad]].<ref name="JHS3076p13">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 13</ref> The other three were left in mothballs above Neptune, the 8th planet of the [[Sol]] system. The [[Word of Blake]] was attempting to restore these vessels to combat readiness in the decade before the Jihad, which they did as [[Caspar II]] drones,<ref name=JHS:Tp179/> despite ComStar incredulity.<ref name=TRO:3057Rp206/> ==Armament== As an escort vessel, the ''Naga''’s only mission was to remain close to the fleet and engage incoming enemy capital vessels. As such, the ''Naga'' mounts a mix of naval lasers, naval autocannons, and naval PPCs. The ''Naga'' also has a trio of naval missile systems, capable of engaging smaller vessels. The ammunition needs of the vessel were streamlined to require only three ammunition types. However, the ''Naga'' is almost completely dependent upon its fighter screen and other vessels within its parent fleets for protection from [[aerospace fighters]]. The class is also particularly defenseless on its aft firing arcs.<ref name=TRO:3057Rp206/> ==Cargo== As a cheap alternative for the Star League Navy, the ''Naga''-class is stripped down in almost every sense, including transport capability. The ''Naga''-class cannot ferry DropShips; most of its cargo space is used to carry more ammunition.<ref name=TRO:3057Rp206/> * Bay 1: [[Aerospace fighter]] (12), 2 Doors ::[[Small Craft]] (2) * Bay 2: Cargo (142,437 tons), 1 Door ==Variants== *; Caspar II Control Ship : Designed and built by the [[Word of Blake]] to control the drone fighters used in their [[SDS]] system, three ''Naga'' WarShips whose [[K-F Drive|K-F Drives]] were destroyed were outfitted with command and control systems.
