The Cirecidus Solenopsis fighter craft, often referred to as the Mantis, is fast, agile, and well armed. It was perhaps one of the deadliest adversaries faced by Ferrum and Imperium fighter pilots in early conflicts with the Cirecidus.
Though far more robust than the Wasp interceptors, the Solenopsis, like most Cirecidus ships, is poorly armored against human weapons. The deficit however is more than covered with speed and maneuverability. The Solenopsis can easily outpace the Grendel and even Grigori in a chase, and despite its size, can put even the most skilled Ferrum pilots to the test.
The ships massive power plant supports a deadly array of weapons among which are two powerful plasma cannons and twin high frequency lasers. The Solenopsis also features Plasmoid Mines that make tracking it in a dogfight even more difficult. This defensive weapon compresses plasma exhaust from the ships engines into extremely unstable plasmoids. The orbs are release behind the ship in the path of any pursuers and explode with the slightest disruption in the mines magnetic field.
Plasmoid Mines
The Solenopsis is equipped with defensive Plasmoid mines (see above). This weapon releases an array of plasma based mines behind the ship and is designed to destroy or discourage pursuers. The weapon is very powerful and a large drain on ship resources recharging slowly between bursts. There is an indicator light on the left side of the targeting recticle that will light when you have someone on your tail, however it is most effectively used with a co-pilot as a spotter.
