It had been under development by the Sanctuary corporation, whose interest in exploration includes not only search & rescue operations but also a constant inquiry into the nature of the EVE Gate. Thanks to the Sisters'' efforts and the Sanctuary''s particular expertise, the Stratios is an agile, tenacious ship that aptly adheres to the mantra of both rescuers and explorers: Stay safe, stay hidden, and use every tool at your disposal. It is particularly adept at venturing into dangerous territories, not merely in recovering whatever may be of interest but also in being able to safely bring it back. Its engines have alternate power sources that come into play should any of its cargo - for which it has plenty of room - cause serious interference with internal systems. Its weaponry runs best on renewable sources, an ideal for a ship that doesn''t know how long it''ll be in deep space. Its carapace is extremely well armored for a ship this agile, and covered in sensors capable of letting its crew track a myriad of different organic signatures. The crew itself is safely protected from any number of transmittable ailments from rescues and other unexpected passengers, thanks to special quarantine bays that are conveniently located near jettisonable openings. And lastly, an ingenious but cryptic transfer in part of the warp core functionality to an outlying cylindrical structure means the Stratios is able to run certain higher-level cloaking functions with very little technical cost, and minimal interference from warp. The Sisters of EVE have refused to comment on this technology, other than to recommend it not be tampered with.' launchers: 0 lows: 5 mass: 9350000 maxlockedtargets: 7 maxvelocity: 182 mediums: 5 powergrid: 920 quote: Until all accept the Relic's light, our work must be protected by shadows. quote_attribution: Reverend Mother Santimona Sarpati reqskills: '*{{RequiredSkill|Amarr Cruiser|II}} ** {{RequiredSkill|Spaceship Command|II}} ** {{RequiredSkill|Amarr Destroyer|III}} *** {{RequiredSkill|Amarr Frigate|III}} **** {{RequiredSkill|Spaceship Command|I}} * {{RequiredSkill|Gallente Cruiser|II}} ** {{RequiredSkill|Spaceship Command|II}} ** {{RequiredSkill|Gallente Destroyer|III}} *** {{RequiredSkill|Gallente Frigate|III}} **** {{RequiredSkill|Spaceship Command|I}}' scanres: 275 mm sensortype: Magnetometric sensorvalue: 20 points shieldem: 0 shieldexp: 50 shieldhp: 1950 shieldkin: 40 shieldtherm: 20 shipid: 33470 shipimg: Stratios.jpg shipname: Stratios sigradius: 150 m structurehp: 2450 targetrange: 55 km tech: F totaltraintime: 1d 20h 12m 10s turrets: 3 variations: '{{Ship|Stratios Emergency Responder}}' volume: 101000 warpspeed: 4 AU/s warptime: 6.09 s wikireferences: '' source_url: https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Stratios tech_level: Faction title: Stratios type_id: 33470 validation_score: 1.0 --- Stratios
## Summary
The Stratios is the cruiser for the Sisters of EVE faction, introduced in Rubicon 1.0. It has bonuses to drones and armor resists, the largest drone bay available in the cruiser class, and the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloak. The Stratios is primarily designed as a cloaky exploration ship, with a particular emphasis on extended operation away from stations.
## Skills
Cloaking IV: DO NOT UNDOCK the Stratios until you can fit the Covert Ops Cloak. Hull Upgrades V: Another vital skill, for fitting T2 Tank. Amarr Cruiser IV+: The higher this skill the more you're likely to take the Stratios through a Ghost Site intact. Gallente Cruiser IV+: If you want to run combat sites in the Stratios. Astrometrics IV: Not necessary for Ghost Sites, but if you're running exploration in null/w-space, some signatures can be a pain to scan down with low skills. It's also recommended to get at least Level III in the Astrometric Support skills: Astrometric Acquisition, Astrometric Pinpointing and Astrometric Rangefinding. Hacking III/IV: The more Virus Coherence you have to play with in breaking open cans, the better. In Ghost Sites it can make the difference between getting away with loot or getting AOE damage in the face.
## Tactics
The Stratios is basically a cruiser-sized version of the Astero, with very similar roles, except the Stratios being better at combat than the Astero. The main benefit of the Stratios, other than its cruiser-sized cargo hold is its ability to field a tank just strong enough to survive the explosion of a ghost site container (and to survive the subsequent onslaught of faction cruisers). This substantially lowers the risks involved in running ghost sites. The best place to fly such a ship would be deep within one's own nullsec alliance's territory. Even though Highsec is being called "safe", the truly safe areas in New Eden are actually those deep within a nullsec alliance's territory. Not only do those areas yield great benefits due to their low security status, but they also provide much more safety than a +1.0 highsec system, assuming one pays attention to the appropriate intel channel(s) and the local channel. There one can explore to his heart's content without worrying about getting ganked too much. As for the loot, nullsec alliances usually take care of getting your loot to a trade hub. You give a contract and then a member with a jump-capable industrial hauls all the loot of you and other members to Jita, where you can sell it using a jump clone.
## Notes
The Stratios is a so-called "shiny ship". That means people will automatically assume you are hauling something expensive and will attempt to shoot you down to get your cargo and the killmail. For this reason, you should take full advantage of safe spots, undock bookmarks and covert ops cloak to avoid detection by other players. ## Patch History
