  info: "Interceptors utilize a combination of advanced alloys and electronics to\

    \ Roden ships are distinguished by strong armor defenses and excellent electronic\
    \ capabilities. They also tend towards gunboats with exceptional range and tracking\
    \ systems, and less reliance on drones than the average Federation warship."

## Summary

</div>


The Ares previously held the title of Fastest Fleet Inty, but post-Rubicon this is no longer the case. The Ares shares a 4/3/3 slot layout with the Malediction, allowing it to fit a good speed fit, only slightly slower than the Malediction's. It still has 3 mids to fit two tackle modules or a tackle module and tank module for a fleet fit.

The Ares is competent at its role but has no real distinguishing features. The Malediction is generally superior with the same slot layout, being slightly faster and having a more flexible weapon system.

## TacticsNo sub-article about Ares roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.## Notes
In ancient Greek mythology, Ares was the primary god of war and bravery, though he was also associated with slaughter and bloodlust.

In many languages Ares and Eris'' sound quite similar, and pilots should take care when reporting either ship over voice comms.
