A rack of advanced guided torpedoes. The payload is smaller than usual to make room for the advanced guidance package and maneuvering system's reaction mass.
The Atropos torpedo is a large guided torpedo with an extended range. Each rack mounts two torpedoes which can be fired separately, allowing strike captains maximum flexibility. The AM-catalyzed nuclear warhead typically used in torpedo warheads is missing here as baryonic interference from the detonator would foul the guidance systems. It is replaced by a smaller, yet still potent chemical charge.

Notes[]
You want something between Harpoon MRMs and Hammer-class Torpedoes? Well Atropos got you covered, currently the only homing torpedo weapon in the game, it packs a serious punch considering its easy to use nature. The only negative side is the high OP cost for only 2 missiles, which makes them a bit less effective than other torpedo options but very reliable for AI ships.
damage reduced to 1250 (from 2000), speed reduced to 400 (from 500)
OP cost reduced to 4 (dual) and 2 (single)
Weapon data is mismatched to patch notes; damage is 1000
