The '''GTD ''Atropos''''' is an advanced destroyer that appears in [[Twist of Fate]] as a successor to the [[GTD Orion]]. While the Atropos cannot focus as much firepower on a single target as a beam-refit Orion, it has better point defense and is all-around a more effective warship.

Building on lessons learned from the Hecate line of destroyers, the Atropos combines the anti-fighter capabilities of the Hecate with a more robust anti-capital armament. While not as devastatingly powerful in a broadside as the Orion, the Atropos is far more capable of defending itself. New warships like the GTD Kitchener of the Terran 4th fleet have demonstrated the strength of this design in anti-insurgency campaigns.

When the Vasudans rolled out their Hatshepsut destroyers, our Orion-class destroyers were so outmatched that development of their replacement was immediately accelerated. The Atropos class of destroyers enters service in the GTA with the express purpose of one-upping the Hatshepsut. In this, it succeeds admirably. With 32 turrets, including six large beam cannons, the Atropos is stronger and more powerful than the Hatshepsut. Atropos destroyers are being rushed into service as fast as the GTA can build them, with a complete replacement of the Orion expected by 2352.

===Dys Tech Room Description===

An advanced destroyer design and premier capitalship of Solar Consortium, the Atropos was a mystery to both League and Commonwealth until LIW spies intercepted encrypted data files of unknown origin. Believed to be more radical redesign of Orion class destroyer, original Atropos and her sistership - the Ryujin were top-secret, advanced, heavy warships developed to confront Typhon-class destroyers and later, shivan Demon-class warships. Two prototypes comissioned by GTA before Shivan Invasion were never completed, and after economic depression GTA suffered after the Great War, newly formed Consortium captured both warships and outfitted with next-generation weaponry available exclusively for SC forces. Atropos and Ryujin were used during first and only attempt of PEC to attack Mars, but the destroyers quickly outgunned and nullified forthcoming Commonwealth forces. Three additional destroyers which Consortium constructed are a living proof of success of this design. Atropos is impervious foe on the battlefield. Armed with eight railgun cannons, five cluster missile launchers and pletora of point-defence turrets, Atropos is the most powerful regular warship class in Sol, dwarfed only by PESD Asgard - unique flagship of the Commonwealth. The ony weakness of Atropos is her short combat range as this warship is purely railgun based. This fact is limiting it's operational range, and rendering her as primary defensive tool of the Consortium and mobile command centers. SC is likely to perform offensive operations by Halcyon frigattes, and Sigurd or Vanir classes of cruisers instead of deploying Atropos-class warship.

Developer's Notes

Low-poly released version is a re-turreted version of the ITD Ryujin in the OTT modeldump. Later, Woolie recieved permission to use the hi-poly EAD Ryujin made by Raven2001 for Inferno SCP, and the Hi-Poly Atropos is a re-turreted version of that. The textures are a mixture of retail tiles, and modified EA tiles from Inferno Release 1.

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


The Atropos is like a stronger Hecate; it can't bring three BGreens to bear on a target like an Orion can due to its firing arcs, but it can seriously mess up enemy fighters and bombers. The 140,000 hitpoints give it more endurance than any retail destroyer aside from the SD Demon. Against warships it is best deployed pointing directly at the target, where it can lash out with both of its forward BBlues. In broadside engagements it can only employ one BBlue and one TerSlash.
