The C-11 Interception Destroyer is a quite modern and agile Dominion design. It was constructed to bring several new technologies and weapons into the field rather then being a deadly combat vessel like most other Dominion vessels are. It is equipped with a single Polaron Disruptor and medium-level shieldings.
During several post-Dominion-War conflicts the Founders utilized this vessels to support their fleets and access a deadly variety of combat measures.
The Dominion C-11 Interception Destroyer is the first Support Vessel you can build and it can be build with every Avatar. Like every other Support Vessel it has three special abilities. One which is available from the start and two which get available as you upgrade the Interception Destroyer. Let's have a look at them:

Creating a unique field of low-level EM fluctuation the Interception Destroyer is capable of refreshing the energy sources on most Dominion Warships. This increases their special energy stock

[color=FF99FF]Level 2 - Weapon Focus[/color]
Because most Dominion Starships are 'fire-and-forget' cruisers with less flexibility then a Federation vessels the founders ordered some research in that direction. The result is a flexible energy transfer system which allows all Dominion vessels within range to increase their weaponrange.

The most destructive special ability the C-11 Interception Destroyer can access is also it's last one. Cascade Feedback creates a Tetrion fluctuation at the targeted region. This causes internal explosions and feedback waves to all affected vessel. The damage dealt by this feedback does even increase with the complexity of the starship. This means that Cascade Feedback deals damage to a vessel based on the number of special abilities this starship can use. The more special abilities there are, the more damage is dealt to that vessel.

I hope you find that small preview interesting :) We are back to work now to bring you Fleet Operations 3.0 as soon as possible
