River Avon Shipyards, a subsidiary of Knightmare Defense Industries, presents the Javelin Class Destroyer. The Javelin is a design that focuses on missiles and long range weaponry and has a missile launch capacity greater than the Manticore Light Cruiser. It is also the first RAS ship to include drone hangars. The Javelin is intended to compliment the existing fleet, bringing a large missile capacity where other designs focus on railguns or point defense. A javelin is a light spear, usually thrown by hand.

The Javelin uses Epstein Drives and RCS thrusters from Aryx-Lynxon, producing 240 MN of force. The ship's Jump Drives have a maximum range of 2,201 Km. The ship is armed with 8 Astraeus Torpedo Launchers, 8 Poseidon Salvo Launchers, 2 Athena Railgun Turrets, 22 Guardian PDC's, 2 Small Drone Hangars, and 2 Interior Turrets. Two doppler radar units have been equipped for long range ship detection.

Power is provided by 1 Large Reactor, and 8 Small Reactors with a battery backup system. The hull is mostly light armor, but reinforced around critical components and at the front. The ship has a medical room, survival kit and basic production facilities. Parachutes are equipped for landing on planets, but no landing gear.


I use a light changing script to switch around the interior light settings. Its an older script and I couldn't find the original creator. The script was updated by ColTeH for my use. I used some of Whiplash141's scripts on the ship, including their braking script for "flip and burn" situations, and a few of their mods for taking the screenshots. The mods I used to assist with the screenshots came recommended by Taidyr, who makes some fantastic content as well. Thanks to Keq, another excellent builder who helped me improve my interiors. I used Darth Biomech's Milky Way Skybox mod for screenshots. Links below. I got inspiration for this ship from ships shown in The Expanse RPG book, I highly recommend The Expanse's books and show.

If you want a quick color conversion, say to UNN or MCRN colors, then I recommend this block recoloring mod, which will greatly simplify the process. Color Replacer Blocks - V2

This one has actually been sitting around for a while. It's older than the Manticore actually. Feels a bit like a cross between Stargate and the Expanse, the design reminds me of some of the earth ships. The design had a lot of trouble, because I really had no idea what to make of it. It was almost the exact same size as the Longbow, but did nothing better or differently. Eventually I figured to add 6 additional Poseidon Launchers and 4 Astraeus tubes, making this a missile specialist. So the Longbow does railguns, the Javelin does missiles. Also funny that I just finished this as the new AWE update hit, adding drones, and wouldn't you know it, I needed something to replace a pair of Poseidon Launchers with. I also couldn't figure out how to classify this ship, as its right between frigate and destroyer. In the end its more of an attacker and rather large for a frigate, so its a destroyer. Had a hard time with the name too, but figured it out. Turns out Javelin is a word with celtic origins, who knew. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this ship.
