Asterope - flagship of the Pleiades Fleet. Named after the brightest component of the Pleiades open cluster of stars. It's 260m long, falls into the destroyer category by my standards, and is the toughest member of its fleet.
The fleet's other ships, corresponding to the remaining six members of the Seven Sisters, can be downloaded here: PLEIADES FLEET (also includes a semi-empty, but flyable shell variant of this destroyer)

This ship has a set of inner-ship-remotes with which you can wirelessly control the engine lighting of the other six ships of the Pleiades Fleet. The six wireless connections have to be linked manually (in astronaut mode) after spawning the aforementioned subordinate ships. The wireless transmitters of this flagship can be reached externally, on the rear face of the bottom turret's housing. The wireless receivers of the six subordinate ships can be reached externally, around their bridges/cockpits.
