The Zentraedi "Thuverl Salan" Destroyer [citation needed] was one of the most commonly used ships in the Zentraedi armada. Fleets of Destroyer vessels were usually commanded from a Queadol Magdomilla command ship. On detached duties, a Destroyer often became the flagship of a convoy or task force. During early part of the First Robotech War, several of these ships were destroyed by Earth forces; one near the orbit of Pluto, another (captained by Zeril) in orbit around Saturn, a number in Earth orbit and about four over the Ontario Quadrant.
