info: 'The Talos began in YC 110 as an 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
</div>
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 is Know Your Enemy - Tier 3 Battlecruisers (January 2012) by The Altruist.
## Skills
Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Talos for a specific or its common role(s) can be written here.
## Tactics
The Talos can be fit for close-range blaster suicide ganking Exhumers in low-end (~0.5 security rating) high security space. Having 8 high slots and damage bonuses make it quite suitable for that purpose and extra DPS can be squeezed with boosters. Kinetic and thermal damage reduction might be preferable to spread out resistances if there are Talos sightings around ice or ore belts, but ultimately it might be safer to dock or flee before they get on grid and at close range.
## Notes
The Talos was a contestant in the create a starship contest.
