The original Destroyer was secretly built in Sarland, a colony of the Kingdom of Jigash, by rebel forces. She came in the wake of two critical technologies – the Kleinssen Torus design that allowed unprecedented miniaturization of lift units for ships and the gradual development of useful rocket-propelled torpedoes. When completed in 11888, she weighed 2715 tons – almost all of it in its single lift unit and propeller arrays – and sank the battleship Gilgamesh as it held station off the coast. Although it would take many years for torpedoes to become fast and sophisticated enough to strike a moving ship and for torus engineering to be further refined, the sensational sinking of a capital ship to a cobbled-together contraption a fraction her size put every major navy on notice. The Kingdom of Jigash itself became the first to commission a series of its own "destroyers".
