History

The Atmos class destroyer, along with the Artemis Class frigate, was developed in parallel to the Amon Star Class battleship. The Atmos class was designed to operate in a battle group, and provide long-range sensors and point defense for the group. Along with these requirements, the Atmos is also capable of functioning as an intra-system escort and patrol craft.

Design

To fulfill the intended purposes of escort and patrol, the Atmos class incorporates a wide variety of high-powered sensors. These sensor systems include high-resolution infrared, visible, and ultraviolet optical sensors; high-power multi-band radar, gravimetric sensors, and various sub and hyperspace sensors. These sensors are tied into a state of the art weapons system that primarily uses long-range relativistic missiles. With these sensors, an Atmos destroyer can typically detect and intercept a threat before it has a chance to return fire.

Armament

  • 180 Vertical Launch System cells.
  • 6 Medium beam cannons.
