==Description==
The '''Antares''' Series AS-17 C3ISR Satellite is a military surveillance satellite produced by Sorcerer Technologies of the [[Federated Suns]]. Part of a series of satellites built over time for [[AFFS]] and [[MIIO]], the AS-17 C3ISR is designed for multiple roles: reconnaissance, command & control, communications, intelligence gathering, and surveillance. These satellites are designed to be quickly deployed and recovered.  The AS-17 is meant to work with a constellation or group of same model satellite to give widespread coverage over a world.<ref name=HHD/>

The ''''''Antares'''''' Series AS-17 C3ISR Satellite is a military surveillance satellite constructed by Sorcerer Technologies of the [[Federated Suns]]. Part of series of satellites built over time for [[AFFS]]. The AS-17 C3ISR is not only used by the military, but also House Davion's [[MIIO]] branch.  The satellite is designed for multiple roles such as; Recon, Command & Control, Communications, intelligence gathering, & surveillance.

These satellite are designed to be deployed over a target world or area and be recovered once its mission is completed.  The AS-17 is designed work with constellation or group of same model satellite to give wide spread coverage over a world

Much of the information on the AS-17 is classified, some details of the AS-17's operations speculated by Intelligence sources.  It believed that select number of Antares are given to frontline [[RCT]].<ref>''Handbook: House Davion'' p. 199 - Background information on AS-17 satellite.</ref>

==Equipment & Capacities==
 +
The AS-17 features a armored satellite chassis with 2 tons of [[BAR 10]] grade armor to protected it from attack.
  
Much of the information on the AS-17 is classified, and many details regarding AS-17 operations remain objects of speculation and guesswork.  It is believed that a select number of Antares are given to frontline [[RCT]]s; it is also considered likely that the MIIO and [[DMI]] can deploy a number of these satellites to support their operations.<ref name=HHD>''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 199: "Background information on AS-17 satellite"</ref>

It is equipped with powerful [[hyperspectral camera]], which ignore effects of concealment used by [[Minetic armor|minetic armor]], [[ECM]], and standard camouflage.  It is also equipped with [[Look-Down Radar]], [[Infrared Imaginer Camera|Infrared Imager]] and [[High-Rez Image camera|High-Rez Image cameras]].  The craft has 10 tons worth of [[Communication Equipment]] which gives the user powerful relay as well immunity from enemy units from trying to exploit the AS-17 capacities.
  
==Equipment and Capabilities==
+
To prevent its high-tech equipment from being captured, the AS-17 is equipped with self-destruct mechanism.
The AS-17 features a satellite chassis protected by 2 tons of [[BAR|BAR 10]] grade armor and a self-destruct mechanism intended to prevent its high-tech equipment from being captured.  It is equipped with a powerful [[hyperspectral camera]], which ignores the effects of [[Mimetic Armor|mimetic armor]], [[ECM]], and standard camouflage. It also carries [[look-down radar]], an [[Infrared Imager Camera|infrared imager]] and [[High-Resolution Imager Camera|high-res imager cameras]].  In addition the Antares mounts 10 tons of [[communication equipment]], allowing the satellite to act as a powerful communications relay as well as providing some protection from exploitation by enemy units.<ref name=HHD/>
