The Proteus MkII is an anti-xeno ship deployed after the Thargoid invasion began with the purpose of training Ardapel to solo Thargoids with fixed Guardian weapons, mainly within the Pleiades, Witch Head, Coalsack, and California Nebulas. Prior to its creation, Ardapel relied on the use of gimballed Enhanced AX Multi-Cannons to takedown Thargoid vessels, but was limited to attacking Scouts, Hunters, the Cyclops variant, and sometimes the Basilisk variant (when accompanied by other anti-xeno combatants), and was incapable of countering the Medusa and Hydra variants. Ardapel’s required Gauss Cannons or Modified Shard Cannons to destroy these variants but was inhibited by his poor accuracy. This ship was created to provide practice against weaker Interceptor variants with Guardian weapons.
The Proteus MkII was named after the derelict Azimuth vessel, Proteus, which itself provided the name for the Proteus Wave.
