Development The Talos began in YC 110 as a R&D concept by ORE. Conceived as a patrol craft for mining operations in lawless space, the Talos would have been abandoned completely were it not adopted by the Black Eagles, a black-ops branch of the Gallente government. The Black Eagles stripped the Talos of non-essential systems and bolted on battleship-class weapons, creating a quick-strike craft ideal for guerilla action.
The Talos remained a military secret until YC 113, when it was introduced into wider circulation as a third tier battlecruiser. Today the Talos is manufactured by Duvolle Labs, who modified the original ORE designs to bring it in line with Gallente standards.

Summary
With a damage and a tracking bonus, the Talos focuses on blasters, providing very high DPS, but limited range. In short, it has the DPS of a Megathron and the tank of a Thorax. However with the range of heavy blasters and the second highest speed of the attack battlecruisers a shield-tanking Talos can be an effective kiter. A very good write-up can be found here.
