(EAS Lake Erie pictured) Theta Class History The Theta Class was constructed as a possible alternative to the Warlock Class Advanced Destroyer. She was designed using more conventional means of construction and components. She was based on the Nova Class Dreadnought, which is evident from the number and placement of her LPA's. As with the Warlock, the Theta class was armed with the massive Class-LH Rack. Mounting two of these monstrosities, she could dish out massive amounts of punishment from a distance. She was also armed with eight LPA's, two HLPA's, two Class-A racks, an AEGIS pod, and four aft firing MPC's. She also carried two squadrons of thunderbolts. A number of prototypes of this class were constructed before the final decision was made to do away with this project and concentrate on the Warlcok class. These ships were never fit with artificial gravity generators and most were destroyed during the Drahk War.
