The Asteroid Class is the smallest class of fighting vessel in the Mai'No'Tian Aerospace Defense Arm's inventory and arrised from the need of a small, light, and densely armed vessel to hold off aircraft sized targets, escort larger vessels who may lack AA suites, or VIP Protected Transport or need them for more vital tasks, neutralize any large asteroids in the path of vessels, and combat small light vessels. Designed as a Destroyer Escort (DEC) meant to combat direct ships of similar sizes and mass plans were shifted towards more light vessels as the primary target for the Asteroids as they soon were beginning to realize that any amount of armor meant to survive weapons of 150mm or more would need a thicker armor belt the asteroids simply couldn't hold within their already cramped hull and that the current armor of resisting 150kg objects traveling at 15km/s would have to suffice, giving a protection rating up to 2,250,000 Newtons of force (Standard non-military vessels are rated for 1,000,000 Newtons). The Asteroids are some of the only ships of the MADA to be constructed on the surface of Mai'No'Tia in the Thin'Ulm Shipyard and Spaceport in Northern Mil, this is do to the small size of the ship (210mx50mx20m) being small enough that they are able to fit in the "slipways" of the ground based shipyards. The ships follow the same design as other MADA ships in general construction with tapered flat bows and short stubby flat sterns, like a flat sided bullet but the Asteroids are the only ships where their main thrusters also take up nearly the entirety of the stern, consisting of 4 9m wide nozzles the ship has one of the larger thrust to mass ratios of the fleet giving it extreme acceleration. With this acceleration its able to cross fleet areas quickly at subrelativistic speeds to quickly intercept enemies, cross planetary orbits, move out to asteroid fields, escape atmospheres, or withdraw at speeds other ships would need time to reach, this also means that the ships inertial system needs to be much more powerful than other ships compared to its size. While other ships such as the Stellars, Dwarf Planets, or Jutlands, have larger reactors to generate the much more needed power along with slower acceleration means they have more time to work with, where as the Asteroids smaller reactor and quicker speeds, to over come this the Asteroids rely more on their warp coils at relativistic speeds, while all ships use their coils as the primary "thrust" (as its not actually providing thrust but using EM to warp the "fabric of space-time to compress and expand space) most ships still use their nozzles to provide extra speed and acceleration but this would over work the coils on the Asteroids as the FTL, Inertial Compensators, and Artificial Gravity all work off the same system. Armed with 28 150mm Mk.67 Dual Purpose Railguns in 14 Twin Turrets as the primary armament in special designed high angle mounts the Asteroids have a good punch against "unarmored" (ships lacking protecting against anything larger than micrometeors) and lightly armored targets, backed by 236 Mk.19 AMD/CIWS in 118 Dual Turrets along the ventral side of the ship for close in defense and 2,170 Mk.38 MPVLM (Muli-Purpose Vertical Launched Missiles) which take up the entirety of the bow of the ship, which do to the extreme number of them do not have reloads onboard and can only be replenished in port. An interesting note of the ships' armament is the lack of the Mk.9 CILWS common on most other MDF ships, orgiinally the ship was going to carry them but with worries of an overstrained reactor to power them and needing more internal volume to hold them when entering atmosphere so they do not get damaged on reentry compared to the Mk.19 AMD/CIWS it was decided to take the heavier and more sustainment heavy Mk.19. Unlike most MADA ships that sport an individual ship crest, the Asteroids are all painted with a large circular asteroid with a rocky tail behind it along the spine of the ship behind the MADA ensign and ship number. The ship name, full call number, and port of call are located to the rear of the asteroid. All ships in the class are named after rocky bodies in star systems that are too small to be considered Dwarf Planets and are generally along the lines of asteroids and comets, so although not every ship is named after a direct asteroid, they are similar.
