Description: The Orca destroyer is a staple element in the Alien fleet. It is typically used for general-purpose patrol and scout duty. Its defenses vary somewhat, according to anticipated enemy strength.

An Orca has more substantial anti-fighter defenses than Confed destroyers, with moderately strong shields but only light armor. The destroyer carries four Medusa missiles and two Light Plasma cannon for self defense and moderate offensive actions. It has been known to occasionally employ interceptors for additional defense, due to its sluggish maneuverability.

An Orca is not as fast as a corvette, but it is still a dangerous ship to encounter on a mission. Note that it is not necessarily a threat in its own right to capital ships, but that it and its assosciated fighters can take out a cap ship's defenses, leaving it vulnerable.
