The Gran_Canaria is one of the only zoner destroyers that was built on a planet instead of in a ship yard. The Gran_Canaria was built in combined effort between the Zoners and the Order. It was originally designed as the ultimate safe transport for Zoner and Order officials who traveled between the Freeports and the outer worlds where nomad ambushes are not uncommon. Due to this fact the Gran_Canaria is much more luxurious than most warships and from inside could be mistaken for a large cruise liner.
However the ship was not used for its original purpose. Due to the war with the Nomads the Gran_Canaria was sent to many different areas and proved so effective that it remained classed as a combat destroyer and was not used as an impenetrable transport.
Even with its luxury the Gran_Canaria does not lack in firepower as it is armed with two heavy missile launchers and seven Order built laser turrets originally meant for anti-nomad defense. The Gran_Canaria can be seen all throughout Sirius as now it is used in three fields; The first field being space exploration and research, the second field being protection of the human race and the third field being the protection of Zoner convoys. The ship was christened by its captain Phil J Herman on planet Gran_Canaria in which it was named after.
