When the Atreus was launched in 2603, she symbolized the Free Worlds League Navy's desire to deploy the best BBs of all the member states. Of decent speed and with much better armor, the Atreus outshown most most classes extant at that time, including the Terran Hegemony's Monsoon -class. This did sit well with the rest of the Star League and the ship soon found itself facing even newer classes (foremost among them the SLDF's Texas class. However, it was still a good ship and the FWL built 86 of them from 2603 to 2672. ==Capabilities:== The Atreus was designed around a two-type main battery. The ship derives its hitting power from its 32 Class-20 Naval Autocannons, with additonal range and anti-dropship firepower provided by 48 NL-45s. Like most Warships of its era, the Atreus lacks sufficent anti-fighter defences, mounting only 14 Killer Whale missile launchers, though she also carries 24 fighters to protect her. Substantial amounts of ferro-aluminum give good protection, while 90 marines and 12 small craft allow the Atreus to send boarding parties against smaller ships. ==Deployment== The Atreus -class first saw action during the Free Worlds League Civil War, where it performed with distinction. The battles on Atreus and Ariel saw no fewer than 30 deployed by both sides, with 21 ships becoming casualties of those battles. Before the war ended 11 more would be destroyed. Less clear was the fate of the Cadmus , which seemed to vanish without a trance. The remaining ships took part in the First Succession War, during which their numbers steadily decreased from Liao fighter attacks and Steiner Thors (the latter killing no fewer than 28 Atreus -class vessels). By the end of the war in 2820 there seemed to be none left. This would change when the fate of the Cadmus was finally learned in 2836. At the close of the civil war, the rebel crew of this vessel had her put into mothballs around a lifeless world they called Red Rock in an uninhabited system near the Lyran border. In 2836 an off-course Jumpship discovered her and immediately headed for Atreus to tell the news. Captain-General Charles Marik quarantined the crew to prevent the other houses from finding out about his find. He secretly sent a group 4 Jumpships with orders to repair the Cadmus and put her into service. Following the FWLN's destruction of Comstar's HPG station on Oriente, he sent the destroyer Cygnus to protect the Jumpships and shepherd the battlewagon home. With his realm under attack from all four other Houses and deprived of communications by Comstar, Charles desperately needed the Cadmus to help stem the tide. He was denied this when the location of the Cadmus was obtained by Comstar spies. Determined make Charles pay for actions, Primus Conrad Toyama had the information leaked to the Draconis Combine Admiralty. They reacted by dispatching the destroyer Shikikaze and the corvette Tomozuru on a mission to destroy the Cadmus all ship found with her. On August 21st 2837 the two DCA ships attacked the repair group at Red Rock. The fierce engagement that followed resulted the destruction of all 4 Jumpships, the Cygnus and the Tomozuro . However the Shikikaze was too badly damaged to easily destroy the massive BB. So her commander settled for a short barrage intended to nudge the Cadmus into a course that would cause her to fall into the system's star. Having done this, he left the system and reported his mission accomplished. The fact that the Cadmus was not in fact destroyed when the Shikikaze left the system was lost along her and her entire crew when the destroyer was blown apart by the LCS Invincible at Hesperus II in 2853. It was not until last year that the truth was revealed when the FWL destroyer Janos Marik jumped into the system on her way to Procyon in August. To the immense surprise of her crew, they found the Cadmus in a stable orbit around the system's sun. How the Kurita gunners had made such a mistake is unknown but the League spared no effort to profit from its find. And so it came to pass that in January 3068, more than 200 after she was first rediscovered, the FWLS Cadmus finally reentered service. Due to the chaotic situation near Terra, we have no data on her current whereabouts. Unconfirmed reported have placed her in the hands of the Word of Blake. This writer prays that the reports are wrong.
