Overview

A good all-rounder, the Helios is a capable TM and is in almost every way an improvement on the Argon Magnetar.

Background

The Paranid Helios military transport, adding the ability to carry fighter protection, ensures the Paranid Navy can respond faster to emerging threats.

Physical Characteristics

The Helios is a modified Demeter freighter.

Combat

Whilst a little restricted for weapon choices, the Helios is nevertheless quite capable of defending itself with the weapons available to it and does not need assistance to fight off an attack by a light fighter or two.

Equipment

Missiles

Mosquito Missile Wasp Missile Dragonfly Missile Silkworm Missile Disruptor Missile Firefly Missile Hurricane Missile Aurora Missile Remote Guided Warhead Rapier Missile Firelance Missile Wildfire Missile

Availability

The Helios can be bought at the Paranid Shipyards in Cardinal's Domain, Duke's Citadel, Paranid Prime, and Trinity Sanctum.

Suggested Roles

The Helios does well as a fighter tender, or in trading roles. It is also the cheapest ship that can carry other ships, making it an early-game option for delivering Jump Drives to new ships or collecting them after you retrieve a ship for a mission.
