 ''Extremely weak little cruiser - its biggest weakness is its woeful turret coverage, especially on the underside. With only six turrets all told, and only one covering the lower section, the Aten really is easy pickings in FS1 and the addition of anti fighter beams in FS2 doesn't add much more threat. It has virtually no capacity for anti-capital ship work.''

+The '''GVC ''Aten''''' is the oldest and weakest cruiser-type vessel still in use in the [[Vasudans|Vasudan]] fleet. The ''Aten'' was the primary Vasudan cruiser during the [[Terran-Vasudan War]] and the [[Great War]]. The [[Reconstruction]] period, and the development of the [[GVC Mentu|GVC ''Mentu'']] and the [[GVCv Sobek|GVCv ''Sobek'']] diminished the significance of the ''Aten'', but it was still in service during the [[Second Shivan Incursion]] in 2367.
 ==Description:==
 ===FS1 Tech Room Description===
 The Aten class cruiser, while far stronger than most of the Vasudans warships, falls short as a attack cruiser. It does not have the armor or the firepower to stand up to GTA weaponry. With a cruiser speed of 25 m/s and only six weapon turrets, the Aten just cannot muster the kind of firepower needed to do real damage to targets of size. Most GTA pilots have learned to exploit the primary weakness of the Aten: its extremely weak weapons subsystem. The Aten class cruiser is considered by the GTA to be a Class B threat.

Unless it has been modified, is doing a suicide run, or is specifically part of your mission, just ignore it. If it is friendly, forget about it. It's a lost cause. If you need to just disable it, the engines subsystem is both weak and covers a huge area.''}}
