Everything in the game files that lists this technology as a prerequisite; “condition” marks objects that check for it in their conditions instead.
How to get Destroyers
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 85) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 technologies of the same area.
- Not: Uses bio-ships
What Destroyers leads to
Technologies that list it as a prerequisite.
