Development
In YC 116, Mordu’s Legion intelligence reported to command that the Guristas pirates were developing new and advanced strike craft capabilities using unknown technologies. In response to these reports, Mordu’s Legion accelerated a program of ship development that was itself a response to trends in capsuleer tactics and warfare. The crash development and manufacturing effort resulted in a new family of fast strike ships integrated with one another to provide tactical flexibility and firepower across ship class lines.

The Orthrus is at the core of the Legion’s new strike formations and provides the mercenary pilots with superior projection of high damage missiles while executing rapid attack maneuvers.

Summary

The Orthrus is the faction cruiser for Mordu's Legion, introduced in Kronos. It is primarily focused on missiles, however it also features a 25 m3 drone bay, and 25 mbps bandwidth, enabling it to fit a full flight of light drones. It can also function as a heavy tackler, with a 50% bonus to tackle range at Gallente Cruiser V. It also deals double (!) missile damage at Caldari Cruiser V, and its role bonus causes its missiles to fly at triple speed, enabling them to catch extremely fast frigates, such as Dramiels. The Orthrus was designed as a fast skirmishing cruiser, thus many are fitting the Orthrus with Light Missile Launchers or Rapid Light Missile Launchers, although some are taking advantage of the excellent missile damage bonus from Caldari Cruiser V and fitting Heavy Missile Launchers for large amounts of alpha damage.
