The '''''Suffren'''''-class destroyer is among the first generation of post–[[Clan Invasion]] [[WarShips]], and [[ComStar]]'s first new WarShip design since the ''[[Dante (WarShip class)|Dante]]'' in [[2941]].
 
The '''''Suffren'''''-class destroyer is among the first generation of post–[[Clan Invasion]] [[WarShips]], and [[ComStar]]'s first new WarShip design since the ''[[Dante (WarShip class)|Dante]]'' in [[2941]].
  
The Suffren Project was initiated after the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] and the subsequent [[ComStar Schism|Reformation]]. While the [[Com Guards]] had a large array of old [[SLDF]] WarShips, [[Precentor Martial of ComStar|Precentor Martial]] [[Anastasius Focht]] desired a vessel which would not be familiar to the [[Clan]] ''[[touman]]s''. The project lacked the pace of comparable [[Successor State]] WarShip programs because of these existing vessels, with virtual reality technology similar to that used by the Precentor Martial to coordinate the fighting on [[Tukayyid]] used to discover and resolve design flaws while awaiting the [[Titan Yards]] to be upgraded to produce the most modern design possible. Such artificial WarShip enactments allowed ComStar to skip the expensive prototype stage of the class.<ref name="TRO:3057r122"/>

The vessel's use of such materials as [[ferro-aluminum]] armor and [[double heat sink]]s mark the ''Suffren'' as the height of advanced tech, capable of unleashing and weathering impressive nose and broadside barrages, also including a [[lithium-fusion battery]] as standard.

Beyond its four [[DropShip]] capacity and sizable 92,727 tons of stores, the ''Suffren'' is designed to carry eight [[small craft]] and a full marine [[Level II]], allowing the destroyer to repel boarding attempts on itself or seize control of any non-Clan vessels with ease.
