After years of missions and what seemed like chasing red herrings, The Specter Initiative is slowly revealing the construction of the Atlas. This ship is designed to be only potentially interplanetary, housing prototype technology and weapons in an emergency assembly to be used against the Kah'Rul.
With the assistance of design concepts and technological advances found in the Library, on top of structural design concepts provided by Carmin in order to utilize the limited resources of the Initiative, and finally material and large power supplies and reactors retrieved by our foremost operational teams, the Atlas was brought to life by reverse engineering anomalous materials to master in-atmosphere suspension of large objects.
The underside of the ship houses several deploy bays in the middle part, including Atlas Units housing and deploy bays, and weapons racks on the front end and back. The middle decks are engineering in the rear and supplies in the front areas behind forward weapons and piloting. The top decks house work station for a top side emergency landing pad, and several radar and sensory arrays.
Due to its prototype and emergency deployment, and the lack of supplies and knowledge to create a Slipfold Drive, the Atlas was not fitted with anything beyond only potential interplanetary travel.
