==Summary==

The Proteus is the Gallente [[Strategic Cruiser]]. It is, by a wide margin, the least popular T3 cruiser in [[Known Space]]. This is due to a number of reasons, including limited mid slots (you can only fit a ''maximum'' of four), and the sometimes odd bonuses of its subsystems. However, in [[Wormhole Space]], it is one of the most popular T3 cruisers, as range doesn't matter as much and it has massive tank and DPS. Capable of putting out nearly 1200 DPS while still maintaining tank advantage over other armor brawling T3s, it is the king of W-space T3 PvP combat. With the correct subsystems and fitting skills, a Proteus can be a very tenacious opponent in PvP and can take on battleships in heated combat.

It is not a good choice for [[missions]], due to its limited range with blasters and poor tracking with railguns. These attributes also prevent it from doing well in [[incursions]]. It has a small number of mid slots compared to other T3s like the [[Loki]] or [[Tengu]], so it has limited ability to fit utility modules like webs. In the hands of a skilled pilot who knows what they're doing, however, a Proteus can be an asset to whatever fleet picks it up. The Proteus has a good niche as a cloaky PvP ganker. Its ability to fit a Covert Ops cloak, high DPS blasters, and an extended range point or scram makes it excellent for decloaking on someone, annihilating them quickly, and escaping before their friends can respond.
