Our representation of Halo's iconic space combat in the Homeworld 2 engine, which puts the player in command of some of the most powerful weapons fielded by the UNSC and Covenant and to provide a balanced and competitive experience.
During the onset of the Human-Covenant War, Reyes-McLees Shipyards and Sinoviet Heavy Industries competed in prototype build agreements for new destroyer designs, which spawned the Thanatos-class and Orthrus-class destroyer. While not as fast as the more angled and conservative designed Thanatos-class destroyer, the Orthrus-class' origins stem from a refit and overhauled Gorgon-class destroyer, which had been seen heavily during Insurrectionist engagements. The Orthrus sports Sinoviet's traditional long barrel MAC design seen on all of their ships in a dual barrel setup. While the body of the destroyer is heavily different, most of the internal components are very similar to the aging Gorgon and proficient Paris-class heavy frigates. Its large armor compliment makes it a heavy hitter that can stay in the game longer, as opposed to the more agile counterparts that make up the light capital roster.
I love this ugly little bastard!
