Original GTD Boreas from Inferno: Release 1

The GTD Boreas is a destroyer armed with multiple beam cannons. It's far more powerful than the other recent Terran destroyer, the GTD Icelus.

Description:

Inferno R1 Description

The Boreas is a pure warship with minimal extended capabilities other than its extensive armament and strong hull plating. Designed to offer huge firepower from its multiple medium and heavy beam turrets, it is the primary warship of Terran fleets. The Boreas is also well-protected from fighter and bomber attacks by its numerous flak and AAA beam turrets. Additionally, Boreas' modular subsystems can be reconfigured in advance of a mission, allowing it to accommodate to situations as necessary.

Shadow Genesis Description

Preliator-class destroyers have long history that dates back to secret NTF shipyards and laboratories in Polaris. During the civil war the NTF Iceni was built there. The second unit that was planned was entitled the ‘Boreas project’. Massive, almost 3-kilometre-long destroyer armed with 10 heavy beam cannons, was intended to be a flagship of admiral Christopher Sarno, one of the closest Bosch companions and his right hand. Boreas was to be fear for every Alliance unit including destroyers, except for the Colossus. The project as well as the prototype under construction in Liberty Shipyards, was captured by the GTVA. The plans were almost perfect and did not require major changes, apart from armour upgrade. The ship was soon transported to Beta Aquile and then construction was finished. The new destroyer was christened the GTD Preliator and became the first of the new class of GTVA capital ships. They are heavier than any of the Alliance warships except for the Anchorage.

Ultra heavy unit and the ironfist of the Alliance capable of crushing Shivan destroyers and entire battlegroups. For its strength it paid with weak maneuverability and speed. Fighterbay is small and carries up to 55 spacecrafts. Preliator is often called the Flying Fortress, with 25 turrets and 10 beam cannons, including a giant forward beam and two additional heavy ones. Concentrated fire of all 3 beams can eliminate each vessel of destroyer-size of smaller with just a few shots. Although it is a ship of the Second Great War generation, its destructive power does not act worse than newer units’ one, it acts even better.

Developer Notes

HTL Boreas from Shadow Genesis.

Alrough dropped from early incarnations of INF SCP, the Boreas was later upgraded by another mod team working on Shadow Genesis mod. After collaboration between both teams, version from Shadow Genesis has new turrets and debris, and the same mesh was adopted by Inferno team to bring back the Boreas to upcoming Inferno release.

Name origin

Boreas was the Greek god of the cold north wind and the bringer of winter.

Three spinal beams are able to destroy everything up to destroyer-scale warships in one volley. Alrough used only once in INFR1 and not in combat situation perfect for Boreas, Shadow Genesis frequently demonstrate focused power of all three spinal cannons. Boreas is expected to have much more apperiances in upcoming Inferno: Nostos.
