Editing Eastern Alliance destroyer

[[Image:ead.jpg|thumb|External view of an Eastern Alliance destroyer.]]

The '''Eastern Alliance destroyer''' is a spacecraft used by the [[Eastern Alliance]] of [[Terra]]. An Eastern Alliance destroyer tracks the ''[[Lunar Avion]]'' from [[Lunar Seven]] to [[Paradeen]] where it eventually encounters the [[Galactica (TOS)|''Galactica'']].  [[Leiter|Commandant Leiter]] commands the destroyer that is captured by the [[The Twelve Colonies (TOS)|Colonials]]. [[Lanceman]] and [[Donner]] are crewmen aboard the destroyer ([[Greetings from Earth (TOS)|Greetings from Earth]]). The destroyer manages to escape from ''Galactica'', and returns to Terra with the Colonials on its trail ([[Baltar's Escape (TOS)|Baltar's Escape]]).

The Eastern Alliance destroyer was repeatedly noted to be far smaller that a battlestar and non-threatening as a contender.  In fact, a captured destroyer was briefly impounded aboard ''Galactica'' and appeared to be comparable in size to a Colonial shuttle.

Although a Viper squadron was dispatched to pursue the Alliance Destroyer in [[Experiment in Terra (TOS)|Experiment in Terra]], at the end of the episode we never learn whether it reached its destination, which may have been [[Lunar Seven]].  The conclusion of the war between the Eastern Alliance and the Terrans presumably rendered both the Viper squadron's mission, and the mission of the Destroyer itself unnecessary.

However, Commandant Leiter confidently boasts to Commander {{TOS|Adama}} that many of these destroyers could take on ''Galactica'' like a wolf pack takes on its prey {{OS|Baltar's Escape}}, though this has never been proved nor disproved.
