-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Telos is a standard use space oriented vessel used in the [ARDN]. As one of the most common ships fielded, its familiar design is a staple across the system.

Sporting 4 rail guns set in two groupings for staggered fire and 10 artillery turrets, the Frigate can deal devastating damage if able to land shots on its target. While not heavily armed, it shines in its ability to engage at high G speeds and turning maneuvers, allowing for swift hit and run tactics.

The iconic ring design, ergo Anulus designation, is common in Artemis and is standard on most [ARDN] ships. While redundant in function since arriving in Artemis, it harkens back to a time before the great exodus and stands as a symbol that reminds citizens of what challenges they overcame to arrive there and remains a testament to the determination to strive forward.

Like all Anulus ships, this one utilizes internal thrust to help mitigate maneuver control loss during combat and also to avoid large surface brakes to allow for thruster placement. It is more than capable of handling moon gravity levels, but full sized planets should be avoided.


The Anulus Series ships are the standard used in Artemis by the official Defense Navy. While not the flashiest design, it is certainly the most recognizable.

Produced solely by [HDI], the quality of the ships is held up as the standard they system strives for in quality, quantity, and affordability. While it is considered an open secret that [HDI] controls the UPA, it can be said that there are few who would find fault with the massive corporation considering the efforts it spend in bringing the first settlers to the new system.

A keen eye will notice that although the Telos is considered a frigate, it's cousin, the Falen, has lower mass and fewer blocks despite being labeled a destroyer. That is because all [ARDN] ships have a slightly different metric for construction. No combat ships produced in Artemis are allowed to be built and designated at or above the standard used by [ARDN] for security purposes.



Just a quick note, this ship utilizes several design techniques borrowed from a good friend Omega. He produced a ship called the Mainstay and it is a fabulous item so go check it out at the link below. He also made the thumbnail overlay that I use.
