Designed for commando and espionage operation, its main strength is the ability to travel unseen through enemy territory and to avoid unfavorable encounters. Developer: Creodron The Helios is Creodron's answer to the Ishukone Buzzard. After the fall of Crielere, the once-cordial relations between the Gallente Federation and the Caldari state deteriorated rapidly and, for a while, it seemed as if war might be brewing. It was seen by certain high-ranking officers within the Gallente navy as being of vital importance to be able to match the Caldari's cloaking technology in an effort to maintain the balance of power.

Summary

The Helios is the odd one out among covert ops, in that it only has 2 high slots. In compensation it has 5 mid slots and a rather useless 5m3 drone bay. This is a disadvantage to some because it means the Helios can't fit the standard complement of cloak, probe launcher and cynosural field generator that is the staple fit of covops frigates in null sec alliances.

Skills

• It is essential to train Cloaking to IV in order to use the Covert Ops Cloaking Device II.
• Astrometrics IV, Astrometric Acquisition III, Astrometric Pinpointing III and Astrometric Rangefinding III make a good skills base for scanning.

• Warp Drive Operation IV

NOTES

• Having empty slots on a covert ops ship is perfectly acceptable. This ship is not intended for any direct combat role.
• The MAPC in the low slot is needed to give the Helios pilot enough powergrid to fit a capacitor battery for long warps.
• Sisters Combat probes are definitely worth the extra ISK.
• Carry extra probes, because you *will* forget about some of them.
• The drone bay on the Helios is unique among all four covert ops frigates, and can hold a single light drone, but entry-level scouts should not be concerned about deploying a drone.
