The SFCV Dinavar (D13) is a Striker-class destroyer that was launched in 2023 CE, during the War of Secession. It was mothballed in 2153 CE, and was briefly reactivated in the 2200s, before returning to duty in 2503 CE.

History

The SFCV Dinavar (D13) was laid down at The Hive on Sanctuary in 2022 CE. It would be commissioned in 2023 CE, immediately joining the Fleet. It served throughout the first eight years of the war as an escort, helping destroy numerous attacks on the Fleet. However, in 2031 CE, it was involved in the Fall of Earth, where it took severe damage to its systems, and required an overhaul at the fleet shipyards back on Sanctuary. It returned to the Arc System, and was promptly, unofficially, mothballed until after the end of the war. It would return to active service several years later, when it was finally repaired. After that, the Dinavar served until 2153 CE, when it was officially mothballed again. However, when the Sovereign Colonies Conflict began, the Dinavar was reactivated to serve as an escort for the slower troop transports.

It served with distinction during the Sovereign Colonies Conflict, but its age was starting to show as it suffered difficulties with the newer CAMFA vessels. It was decommissioned, and picked as one of several vessels to be mothballed against future need. It joined the other vessels in the Aradesh Deep Space Storage Depot, in the Aradesh System, in 2153 CE.

Namesake

The SFCV Dinavar (D13) was named for a destroyed city on Earth, Dinavar (Persian: دینور‎‎) was a major city in the 8th-11th centuries, located to the northeast of Kermanshah in western Iran.

Alterations

Rather than the eight 8-inch (20CM) coilguns of the Striker-class destroyers, the Dinavar was fitted with 10-inch (25.4CM) coilguns normally outfitted to Warrior-class destroyers. Furthermore, because of advances in technology in the intervening years since the vessel was decommissioned, the Dinavar's standard crew numbers only fifty, not including the expedition.
