Initially, the study opted for a pilotless drone that can disrupt the warp engines of goals, but requirements for power plants and limit the volume of the hold is not allowed to set the drones on the court less than a frigate. Thus was developed the frigate class «Atron» and its variations....

«Atron» acts in the Navy as an interceptor of enemy targets, using high-speed characteristics mikrovarp engine, low orbit to the target (up to 20 kilometers - the range of the module interrupts the warp). Damages enemy is not the main purpose frigate - to keep the enemy from the warp to the approach of fire support of its fleet, and avoid exposure to fire, using high speed.
It is worth noting that the firepower of the ship is not so much small (blaster weapons and drone), many ships have been a victim «Atron» underestimated, small and fast ship.
Small patrol unit, usually accompanied by a «Atron», isolated from the squadron sector. To a large naval operations involved up to three squadrons of interceptors allocated directly to the objectives of the center of the control command ship of the fleet.
Atron FF-A
The project «Atron» was launched a consolidated team of scientists and engineers Gallente videoconferencing, as well as secondment of experts from corporations, Roden Shipyards and CreoDron, have their own research divisions. Roden Shipyards engineers were responsible for the development and installation of new technology interrupts the warp and specialists Navy and CreoDron for the development of housing and related technologies.
FF-A class used the afterburner Federate Hydro-Ionization, providing the necessary speed to catch and two 125 mm. mated to the artillery gun, capable of hitting targets at a distance of 25 km.
Atron FF-B
After several years of using a ship in the Navy Command of SCD found it necessary to replace the interceptor weapon because of the apparent low firepower. In the small clashes with pirates Serpentis and Guristas, fire superiority was clearly more on the side of the latter.
The artillery has been withdrawn from the case, instead of installed light ion blaster cannon. Vacated space was used to enhance the hold drones, which made it possible to use another easy CreoDron Hobgoblin 303 drone.
As a result, project B was much more successful than its predecessor and is able to apply more powerful damage targets in orbit less than 1 km from the target, which also increased the effectiveness of the frigate to intercept large vessels of the enemy. All vessels modification FF-A have been upgraded to B class.
Atron FF-C
With advances in technology, ability to «Atron» fly at speeds up to 1300 meters per second has become not havatat to intercept new frigates and cruisers enemy equipped with new micro-warp engines. Ships became faster and faster, and the interceptor could not be effective as previously.
Project was launched second-generation interceptor, but still were the development of class B was upgraded to a new modification of the FF-C. Afterburner has been replaced by the latest micro-warp drive, which consumes more resources but the power plant. Had to replace the Ion weapons on less powerful Electron blasters. This reduced the firing rates of the vessel at 5% and 10% effective range of lesions, but increased the speed of the interceptor to 300%. Now only the fastest enemy frigates could compete with the ship.
Currently 65% of the park «Atron» in the aerospace Gallente replaced by a modification of FF-C.
Atron FF-S
Development of a new powerful tool for interrupting warp, also known as the warp scrambler, gave new opportunities interceptors. Now, the huge rate of micro-warp engines were not given the benefits the ship got to the action scrambler disables the accelerator. FF-S Class was designed for use scrambler chopper instead of the usual warp.
However, this change was, it seems to be negative than might be considered an advantage. Most of the goals «Atron», such as cruisers, Battlecruisers and Battleships, often had the opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield, having a few precious seconds from the fact that the frigate took time to reach the distance of activation scrambler, which is only 8 km.
Only 60 FF-S were put into service, mainly as a antiperehvatchikov.
Atron FF-N
Recently been adopted again attempt to increase the firepower of the frigate without a significant increase in production cost. Request to create a «Navy Atron» was directed Admiralty Corporation CreoDron.
The project uses a nuclear generator CreoDron 30MW providing enough energy for ship installation of the third blaster Sparky, as well as by reducing the space of the cabin crew had been increased volume of the hold for drones at 10 cubic meters. Only five prototypes are in operation at the moment and are being tested in an unknown system somewhere in the region Vendor.
Atron FI-A "Ares"
The first draft of the second-generation interceptor was assigned to the corporation Roden Shipyards, to the surprise of many market participants, industry, shipbuilding. Developers of the project «Ares» focusing their efforts on developing a secure housing with advanced warp generator interrupt able to operate on a more long range (5-6 + miles) and requires less energy to operate (80%).
Using advanced nano-materials based on tungsten carbide, engineers were able to increase the strength of the body. To increase protection were installed a few extra shield emitters. The power plant is replaced by Roden Hydro-Fuse 110.1 reactor, which provided enough energy to run the system nanobots-reenactors Corporation Duvolle Labs, but because of the cumbersome design had to completely remove the hold for the drones.
The extra space freed from the use of new materials in construction has been used to install modules deceleration target (Stasis Webifier), which further increased the efficiency of the vessel as an interceptor.
Finally section was mounted for easy installation of the rocket launcher as compensation for loss of drone hold.
Lighter materials given speedup compared to the FF-C by almost 20%. The frigate was well received in the FSI Gallente, while in command of a few confused production cost for a ship of this class, that does not allow the Navy to make large orders for production. Currently, about 250 units of new interceptor are on active duty in Gallente space.
Atron FI-B "Taranis"
Many pilots were satisfied with videoconferencing protective characteristics «Ares», but the majority expressed negative due to the loss of firepower. The tender for a new project, which was won by Duvolle Labs.
Nəticədə, yeni Fırkateyni'ne eyni sürət və manevrlik ilə «Atron» və «Ares» 250%, üstün, performans mübarizə idi. UML Gallente öz sinfi üçün belə bahalı həllər əldə etmək qərarı ilə lingers olsa da, bir yeni gəmi capsuleers tərəfindən yüksək qiymətləndirilmişdir.
