== Summary ==
The ''Astero'' is the [[Sisters of EVE]] frigate, introduced in [[Rubicon]] 1.0. It has bonuses to drone durability and armor resists, the largest drone bay available in the frigate class. The Astero, along with the SoCT [[Metamorphosis]], are the only Tech 1 frigate hulls that can fit a Covert Ops cloak and warp while cloaked.

The Astero and the {{sh|Metamorphosis}} are the only Tech 1 frigate hulls that can fit a Covert Ops cloak and warp while cloaked.


The Astero is primarily designed as a stealthy exploration ship, with a particular emphasis on extended operation away from stations. It is also a prominent PvP frigate: its cloak lets it pick fights, and it stands a good chance against many other frigate hulls, making it especially suitable for killing other explorers outside of high security space. It is, however, radically more expensive than a Tech 1 exploration frigate, and significantly more expensive than a Tech 2 Covert Ops frigate.

It is possible to fit an Astero as a cloaking, probing scout for PvP, but it lacks the strong CPU capacity of other covert ops ships and so must make many fitting compromises to fit the expanded probe launcher necessary to use combat probes. It is also an expensive hull to put at risk as a scout.
