GTD Orion:
Type: Terran Destroyer
Description: The Orion is the capital ship of the GTA. Measuring a frightening 2.1 kilometers in length, the cost to build one of these far outweighs the cost of paying the crew of this ship for 3 years. There is no more important symbol of Terran Pride than a ship like the Galatea or the Intrepid cruising past a colonized planet, patrolling the system and ensuring safety. In the course of the 14 year war, very few of these have ever been lost, making the destruction of an Orion a truly horrible defeat.

The Orion may seem tough, but not really so when you face the Shivans. It has a lot of turrets, but the Shivan shields can usually repel them for the most part. If protecting one, make sure you knock out the bombers and bombs first or an Orion is a goner!
