The Triton Project:
----------------------
--- The Triton Project was formed with the mission of bringing cutting-edge technology to the very tip of the spear that would serve as humanity's best, last and only line of defense against the dangers that would be harbored in the void. To that end, it assembled the best and the brightest, and gave them the task of producing Earth's very first Extra-Orbital Warships. Formed under the banner of this think tank was the ArcaneTech production company; which would be responsible for the production of a majority components that would be used by the Imperialist Syndicate's earliest forays into the interstellar frontier. While the Triton Project would go on to become the biggest name in the scientific domain of the Imperialist Syndicate in it's own right, it would also go on to create many of the key players that would lead to the founding of some of the largest companies in what would come to be known as "Imperial Space"

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes
--- Ship Characteristics:
- The Titan "Atlas" is a Conventional Warship armed with three ICMB Silos modified for use on a spaceship. Featuring nominal armoring and built with only that which is available at the start, the "Atlas" is an attempt to make some sort of functional warship with Conventional Tech. To that end it is essentially a flying ICBM Silo, which is better than nothing. . . and worse than everything else. Both the "Atlas" and the "Regalia" are part of Project Triton.
--- Ship Doctrine:
- At any given time, only one "Atlas" should be in close proximity to the attending "Regalia", with other off somewhere else within it's passive sesnor range. The "Atlas" farther out fires first, then speeds (lol) away to draw off any attackers. The second "Atlas" then uses the Pythagorian Theorum to calculate a probable course of the attackers using the far "Atlas" postion, heading, as well as the enemies last reported position to find "C", and uses that to fire on the enemy. Hopefully, the enemy doesn't notice the second launch, in which case it will not give away the position of the "Regalia" and her attending "Atlas", as the direction of the shots won't be immediately apparent.
--- Description of Role:
- The Titan "Atlas" is meant to serve alongside the Titan "Regalia", with the "Regalia" spotting targets. Two of these ships are assigned per "Regalia" with about three fleets total. It is an ambusher, designed to operate using Listen / Kill tactics in conjuction with the Titan "Regalia" Otherwise it is merely a flying (floating?) ICBM Silo; a role which the "Atlas" does not supplant, but rather enhances by relegating the ACTUAL Missile Base PDCs to a last line of defense incase the "Atlas" fails.

Stellar Electronics Ltd. 10EM5 Regalia (1) Sensitivity 50 Detect Sig Strength 1000: 50m km
This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes
--- Ship Characteristics:
- The Titan "Regalia" is named after the sensor system she mounts. Completely unarmed, she is completely reliant on her attending Titan "Atlas" for defense. As a result it is considered acceptable for her attending "Atlas" to hold one missile in reserve, so as to cover her retreat in the event of discovery during an attack.
--- Ship Doctrine:
- The ships doctrine is as simple, straightforward and boring as can be: sit there and listen for something. . . anything that might be considered enough of a threat to nuke. Then tell the 'Atlas" to have all the fun. Mundane, but essential.
--- Description of Role:
- The "Regalia" is the eyes of her Task Group, and as such, is invaluable. Although neither her nor her attending "Atlas" are invisible when moving, or in the case of the "Atlas", when it's firing; she CAN survey her surroundings without fear of detection. As such, the "Regalia", despite her age, would serve for ages to come; seeing several refits and upgrades along the way and would eventually end up being replaced by the Legacy-Class. . . so named for her long-lived and well esteemed career.

--- Description of Role:
- The product of the Triton Project's humble beginnings, the "Atlas" Class ICBM is based off of time-tested, war-proven designs and technology, adapted for the rapidly growing needs of the fledgling Imperialist Syndicate. Twice as powerful as a Conventional ICBM, and outfitted with ArcaneTech's brand-new Solidjet Missile Engine, the "Atlas" Class ICBM was considered a force to be reckoned with when it was first introduced. Adapted for the soon to be venerated launchers of the then new Titan "Atlas" Class Bombardment Cruiser, this missile would go down in history as an important first for mankind.
