summary and trivia
The '''Astraeus''' is a level 10 warship with a heavy armament and a strong hull. While its size and speed make it an easy target, its raw firepower and sheer health often result in the Astraeus decimating an enemy. Additionally, the Astraeus fits 2 light mortars on its bow often used to siege an enemy from a distance. One of the largest downfalls of the Astraeus is its slow turn speed, allowing faster ships to maneuver into blindspots.
== Trivia ==
* The Astraeus is part of a ship family with the [[Atlas]] and [[Prometheus]], thus sharing many features.
* Players often shorten the name of the Astraeus to "Astra."
* The stern guns on the Astraeus have a range comparable to a mortar.
