An unusual new design from the Free Worlds League that found its way into the Outer Colonies' hands. The boffins at Quantum Tech's Skunkworks weren't overly impressed with it's rotary autocannon main armament, especially given those weapons' penchant for jamming - usually at the worst possible moment, so once again they set about creating a version they thought would be more favourably received by the pilots of the OCDF.

Dropping the paired RAC2s and RAC5s, freed up a lot of tonnage, which they used to install a pair of ERPPCs and extended range large lasers. The remaining spare tonnage was used to add enough heat sinks to enable the pilot to fire either both particle cannon or lasers at once. The back-up weaponry - a pair of Streak SRM4 missile racks -   was left as per the original design. With a relatively light 13.5 tons of armour to protect it, pilots will need to rely on the Talos' speed to keep it out of serious trouble.
