Earth Alliance Olympus Class Variants Olympus Class Variants Olympus AEGIS escort (rare): The AEGIS pods first introduced on the AEGIS Hyperion were a great success. Unfortunately, the Hyperion was a large and expensive hull to modify to be solely an escort vessel. The Olympus, the only hull in EarthForce older than the Hyperion still being produced, was the next choice to modify to an escort ship. An AEGIS pod was added to the ship, along with all weapons being changed to SPBs. The missile racks were changed to Class-A. Olympus AEGIS Corvette (Lambda Model) Olympus Assault Corvette (rare): This version of the Olympus was used prior to the creation of the Assault Hyperion variant. Its primary weapons were 4 MplasC, 2 HplaC, and 2 railguns. The HplaC replaced the Missile racks on the ship. It carried 2 breaching pods and four assault shuttles. Olympus Assault Corvette (Gamma Model) Olympus Heavy Missile Corvette (unique): In what was envisioned as the original Olympus model, the Heavy Missile variant had all the weapons of the later Delta model, but also had two additional missile racks, and structure reinforcements. Only two were built, due to the fact that they were harder to produce than a standard Olympus. Olympus Heavy Missile Corvette (Zeta Model) Olympus Laser Corvette (rare) The Laser Corvette was an attepmt to place long range firepower on what was traditionally a short-medium range combat unit. It met with limited success during the EM war. All were destroyed. Olympus Laser Corvette (Eta Model)
