Outer Rim Syndicate - Amalthea Cruiser

The Amalthea is a distant descendant of the Fenris and Leviathan and the only cruiser left in the Syndicate fleet. The early concept for the Amalthea appeared in the GTA First Fleet shortly after the Great War by upgrading older cruisers with reinforced armour plates and new torpedo launchers. Several dozen of the GTA and later EFN cruisers were modified to Amalthea standard during and shortly following the Secession War. The ORS-EFN arms race after the Secession War resulted in a completely new generation of Federate cruisers slowly but surely replacing the Amaltheas in their escort and patrol duties. Their design, although obsolete and abandoned by the Earth fleets, was later enhanced by Bamyian Development Corporation and used as a base for a new class of cruisers for the ORS navy. With new engines, reactors, a pocket hangarbay for repair drones or up to six fighters and modern weapon systems including three railgun batteries and two defensive missile tube clusters, the Amalthea fully met the requirements of a ORS combatant. They were first introduced in 2343 to complement the Jovian Second Fleet's remote outposts in the Asteroid Belt and around Jupiters moons. Since then they have continuously served in ORS ranks and though their production was finally ceased in favour of the Vitalius frigates, they could still be seen in every ORS fleet up till the Shivan invasion. Amaltheas played an important part in the Great Exodus and following the formation of the Exodus Fleet, they were mostly assigned to Escort Fleet.
