The original version of this design was created in the distant before times for the old naval archive.
Unfortunately, somehow, the original credit was lost? So I'm not sure which one of us made it (I know it wasn't me). If the original creator wishes to make themselves known and provide input, that'd be great.In the context of the General War AU (additional details coming), the Sunburst would be the Federated Sun's first destroyer class and possibly second WarShip class overall, and was most likely intended to screen the Defender class battlecruiser. By the time of the Malagrotta war, the class would have been replaced in service by the Davion and Davion II, but mothballed ships (maybe twenty in number?) would be reactivated after the war to replace some of the Suns' horrendous losses.
The stats here reflect its 2470 refit, which is both closer to the original Naval archive version and also an upgrade over what I imagine the Sunburst would have looked like as a contemporary of the Defender.
I'm being vague here because I didn't make the original, and while I'm okay with using it for the setting (that is pretty much what the Archive is for, after all), I'd feel weird completely rewriting its history to jibe with the current canon and the AU. I prefer a lighter touch when it comes to other people's writing.
(in addition to record sheets for both this and its pre-refit version, I'm attaching a text file of the original stats and fluff written so long ago)
