Strong leadership rewards loyalty, inspires honor, and demands duty.

Command Destroyers represent a versatile addition to fleets of all sizes. Being the smallest and most agile platforms for gang link technology positions them as the premier support option for fast-moving wolf packs. Unique access to Micro Jump Field Generators also allows them to perform maneuvers that rapidly reposition other ships, be they friend or foe.

Summary
The Stork is the Caldari Command Destroyer. Following the Caldari design principles, it has bonuses to shield and information Command Bursts. In its role to provide shield bursts it competes with the Bifrost which has less tank but more speed. This makes the Stork preferable if it can reach the required speed. In regard to information bursts it competes with the Pontifex (and to lesser extend with the Draugur). If you have shield logi support you choose the Stork, if armor logi the Pontifex. In fleets without logi, the Bifrost is often preferred over the Stork for shield and skirmish bursts, because of its better speed. The Stork might still be used for information bursts, but those are usually of lower importance in such fleets.
