The second Solaris-class Destroyer to be completed, ''Toutatis'' is currently assigned to the UEF's 3rd Fleet, where it serves as Admiral Calder's Flagship. Her CO, Captain Martache, has served alongside the Admiral as XO on FG 3121 Zhongxing, and was one of the design consultants on the Solaris project.
Of the three Solaris-class ships, ''Toutatis'' is the one with the most time in combat. Admiral Calder's tactics often put her right in the middle of enemy formations, forgoing the escort that UEF doctrine requires in order to bring the full power of her weapons to bear in a tactic designed to rapidly overcome the enemy's point defense.
However, this operational tempo comes at a high price, both in terms of personnel and logistics, and ''Toutatis'' was almost destroyed during Admiral Steele's assault on Artemis Station. It took the Bradbury Fleet Yards several weeks to get her to combat readiness again, and even now she spends every minute under the loving care of repair crews.

Nameplate:
[[File:toutatis.png|600px]]

Her nameplate design is based on a stylized Jupiter, overlaid with a representation of Toutatis.

==Name Origin==
Toutatis or Teutates was a Celtic god worshipped in ancient Gaul and Britain. On the basis of his name's etymology, he has been widely interpreted to be a tribal protector.

-After the events of Delenda Est, Admiral Calder ordered Toutatis to be refitted with a pair of Varunastra-B mass drivers in order to enhance her direct-fire capabilities. This refit came at the cost of some Hangar capability, and it remains to be seen how effective this modification will be in a real combat situation.
+After the events of Delenda Est Admiral Calder ordered a major refit of the destroyer, with several Varunastra-A and -B mass drivers installed to enhance her direct-fire capabilities. This refit came at the cost of hangar and torpedo launch capability.

-The ''Toutatis'' is unique in that it opts for mounting heavy mass drivers to boost its killing power, though what sacrifices were made to facilitate this are currently unknown, in contrast to the more modern-but-tempermental ''Eris'' and top-shape, reliable, but arguably somewhat-outdated ''Solaris''.
