A major refit of the original Löwenhertz-class Zerstören design, the Löwenhertz II that is to be the dedicated escort vessel of the Abwehran Weltraumflotte.

• First Space Vessel to carry a Triple-Barreled 160mm Laser Turret
• First Hyperspace Capable Escort

• Convoy Escort
• Fleet Escort
• Light Patrol

Co-axial Weapon Uncovered.

A major refit of the original design, conception of the Löwenhertz Mark II began in early 256 AF when faults in the Löwenhertz-class Zerstören's design had first started being revealed. The Mark II's design had been slowly developed over the years and has just recently been changed slightly. With the addition of several new technologies, the Löwenhertz Mark II is to be considered Abwehr's most advanced escort vessel as of late 259 AF. Refits of the first squadron of Löwenhertz-class Zerstörens is to begin as soon as colonization efforts have begun.

Small passageways that technicians have to crawl through, they are large enough for an adult Abwehran male to crawl on his hands and knees.

Though a more modern vessel by Abwehran standards, the Löwenhertz Mark II still uses spartan, utilitarian passageways. Transportation of Personnel from Deck to Deck is done via Stairways and Ladders.

The Löwenhertz II contains a variety of emergency systems ranging from compartmentalized construction with solid bulkheads to provide protection against breaches to about 32 Escape Pods. There are 4 escape pods located on each deck (2-9) with all of them being located both fore and aft sections and occupying both port and starboard positions (2 on each side).

The Löwenhertz II includes the newly developed Artificial Photosynthetic Life Support System created by Kaiserlich F&E along with using the standard Unidirectional Gravity Plating used by Abwehran Ships for nearly two centuries.

The Löwenhertz II is the second Abwehran ship to ever equip a Hyperspace Fold Drive to allow them to finally travel outside the Jaspis System. The Destroyer is also equipped with 4 Escort Fusion Engines.

With the knowledge of CSEIA at their disposal, Kaiserlich F&E could find information of various forms of protection systems available in the known universe. But since time was of the essence, it was decided to work on a system based upon the Hazard Shield. Modifying the design and boosting the power, the research team created an energy shield system capable of stopping low-powered starship energy weapons and proximity explosions. This new system dubbed the Hard Bubble Shield provided the Löwenhertz II with greater protection than any previous ship created by the Abwehrans. As with their Armor style, the Abwehrans have chosen to layer their shields so that the Hard Bubble Shield is layered over the Hazard Shield.
