The '''Viper Class Missile Destroyer''' is a converted Cobra Destroyer. Carrying [[Boarding Torpedo]]es over their standard armament by adding more torpedo tubes, the conversion program was pushed by the [[Gareox Prerogative]]. The experiment was not a success, however, as the destroyers could not carry enough crew to man the torpedoes and fight the ship. As a result, most of the Vipers have been converted back to their standard armaments but use the extra Torpedo tubes to carry more offensive armament. These ships have since been designated as Missile Destroyers and are organized organised into separate anti-ship flotillas by the Imperial Navy. They are most often employed for mass torpedo attacks, proving ineffective in convoy protection duty.{{Fn|7}}
