Lore

In the wake of the fall of the ESC, trade grew across Sol. This led over time to a massive influx of traffic to and from the Republic, calling for ever more resources from the strained Border Guard. For a time, the Navy had to loan ships to police Phoenix space, but this was eventually fixed by the so-called "Typhon Initiative", in which many of the Republic's leading corporations teamed together to build some of the finest ships the Republic had fielded thus far.

Part of the first wave of this initiative was building a much needed Interdictor for the Border Guard - one capable of outrunning ships of its class and tackling them into submission.

Enter the Orthrus, which debuted in late 2110 and quickly took to the field, disabling pirate and smuggler ships and sending shuttles full of highly trained Guard over onto their lawless hulls. Within the first few months of deployment of these ships, piracy in Phoenix space reached an all time low. Countless ships were impounded and dismantled, their resources used to fuel the production of more of the very ships that had defeated them.

KNOWN ISSUES

The turrets are incapable of realizing when they are shooting at each other or the ship itself. Therefore, be careful when using them and monitor your firing angles. It is recommended you use them primarily in broadsides, or when targets are above or below the ship. Do not use them when engaging a target off the bow or stern! (use the standard turrets otherwise).

You can turn off the Hydra Designators with Slot 2, this will keep the turrets from firing as well.
