The ''Ratatoskr''-class Courier is built and operated by the [[Talros Theocracy]] as a courier between their worlds. While officially classed as couriers, the ''Ratatoskr''-class is able to be reconfigured with a wide variety of capabilities, ranging from the mundane cargo and passenger hauling expected of a courier class, to the ability to mount several small hangar pods to serve as escort carriers, and bases for insertion teams. While they are capable of taking weapons modules for direct combat or missile systems, their lack of armor or built-in defensive systems renders that at a disadvantage against anything except the Initiative's [[Civilian Auxiliary Military Forces Act|CAMFA]] vessels and other irregular combatants.

The Ratatoskr-class Courier is built and operated by the Talros Theocracy as a courier between their worlds. While officially classed as couriers, the Ratatoskr-class is able to be reconfigured with a wide variety of capabilities, ranging from the mundane cargo and passenger hauling expected of a courier class, to the ability to mount several small hangar pods to serve as escort carriers, and bases for insertion teams. While they are capable of taking weapons modules for direct combat or missile systems, their lack of armor or built-in defensive systems renders that at a disadvantage against anything except the Initiative's CAMFA vessels and other irregular combatants.

The class itself is named after a squirrel-god from Norse mythology. Ratataoskr was responsible for relaying messges along the world tree Yggdrasil, from the mighty eagle at the top, to the serpent at the base, and back again.

Defensive Systems

Most of the Rataoskr-class's defensive systems are dependent on the modules attached. The most commonly equipped modules for the Ratatoskr, when on high priority missions, are jamming modules to confuse and trick enemy sensor systems.

Armament

As standard, the Ratatoskr class is unarmed. While capable of mounting weapons modules, the Ratatoskr is capable of carrying relatively long-range, though small caliber railguns and missile pods. When armed, most commonly the Ratatoskr is armed with a series of 127mm railguns for use against pirate vessels.
