==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Atreus'''''-class battleship was designed at the very end of the [[Age of War]], just before the formation of the [[Star League]]. As a testament to the naval prowess of the [[Free Worlds League]], and its economic prosperity, the ''Atreus'' was just as good (if not better) than contemporary rival vessels fielded by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], the [[Capellan Confederation]], and the [[Terran Hegemony]]. The ''Atreus'' outclassed the aging ''[[Monsoon]]'' and ''[[Farragut]]'' classes, only losing supremacy to the Hegemony's ''[[Texas]]'' upon its introduction in the 27th century.<ref name=TRO3057R/>

The ''Atreus''-class would form the backbone of every [[FWLM]] naval group after its introduction. Though the League ceased production in [[2681]], two-thirds of all ''Atreus''-class vessels constructed had survived to the beginning of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]; only against the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] during the [[Reunification War]] had the ''Atreus'' faced any real threat.<ref name=TRO3057R/> In [[2765]], at least twenty of the venerable battleships were still in service, with four active in each of the Free Worlds League Navy's five fleets.<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp20">''Field Report 2765: FWLM'', p. 20: "Free Worlds League Navy"</ref> Thanks to the ''Atreus'' the fleets of the Free Worlds League were able to make impressive gains against the Lyran Commonwealth and especially against the Capellan Confederation. These gains slowed after the eventual demise of the class during the [[First Succession War]]; the last ''Atreus''-class vessel was destroyed by [[Lyran]] [[aerospace fighters]] in [[2809]].<ref name=TRO3057R/>

==Armament==
 
==Armament==
The ''Atreus''-class is poorly armed and moderately armored compared with later battleships. The class only mounts 1,738 tons of [[Ferro-Aluminum]] Armor, and provides less than 60% of the protection of a Clan ''[[Nightlord]]''-class battleship. However, against contemporary foes, the ''Atreus'' was more agile and better armed and armored.<ref name=TRO3057R/>

However, against contemporary foes, the ''Atreus'' was more agile and better armed and armored.<ref name=TRO3057R/>
  
The ''Atreus'' has weaponry capable of engaging capital-scale craft as well as small aerospace assets, with a mix of naval PPCs, naval autocannons, naval lasers, and [[Small Laser|small]] and [[Large Laser|large lasers]]. The greatest weakness of the ''Atreus's'' armament is its ammunition dependence. With only 10 rounds for each naval autocannon, the ''Atreus'' must win its engagements quickly or rely on its less impressive energy weapons.<ref name=TRO3057R/>

Combined with the class's DropShip capacity and fighter complement, the ''Atreus''-class is capable of standing up to any attacker. The only question is the outcome of the engagement.<ref name=TRO3057R/>

==Cargo==
 
==Cargo==
Never intended as a cargo vessel, the ''Atreus''-class has some cargo capacity, but decidedly less than other, smaller vessels. The class possesses 2 [[Docking Collar|DropShip rings]] and has two bays. Bay 1 is intended to transport [[aerospace fighters]], of which it can ferry an impressive four [[squadron|squadrons]]. Bay 2 is a dedicated cargo bay, capable of handling up to 166,635 tons of cargo.<ref name=TRO3057R/>

Single occupancy rooms were given only to the three highest-ranking officers, including the Commander Air Group, or CAG. The barrack accommodations were a sore spot for crews serving aboard the ''Atreus'', a posting not seen as luxurious with its cramped common areas and nonexistent privacy. 24 first-class passenger accommodations were found aboard, along with berthings for 50 [[space marine|space marines]].<ref name=TRO3057R/>
 
 
 
* Bay 1: Fighters (24), 6 Doors
 
* Bay 2: Cargo (166,635 tons), 10 Doors
