Overview

"Talos" is the name of a number of ships through Corsair history that have served as the flagship for the Benitez Family and as guardian of the Corsair homeworld of Planet Crete. Traditionally commanded by the Don of the Benitez, or one of his esteemed lieutenants (known as Benitez Elders) the Talos has a rich and glorious history, and serves as a symbol of solidarity and security for the people of Crete. The current incarnation of the mighty warship, the Talos D was one of the first Osiris class vessels to be built at Tripoli Shipyard, in 797 A.S. under order of the then-Don Rivas Benitez.

Talos-A

The name "Talos" was first given to a prototype Olympian Super Heavy Fighter in 697 A.S. by Don Esteban Benitez who requisitioned the ship with the purpose of defending Crete during the turbulent time of Corsair history known as the Corp Wars. The heaviest and most technologically advanced ship available to the Corsairs at the time, the Talos-A sported prototype Salamanca cannons and advanced shield technology. After 12 years in service, with a glorious record in battle, the Talos-A was destroyed during a battle with Bounty Hunters under the employment of the Artefact Syndicate. Tragically, the Don's right hand; Praetor Salvatore Benitez was also lost in the battle.
