The Atlas class and subsequent sub-classes are the most populous class of ship in the Xenian Navy. It includes the oldest ship of the navy, XNS Atlas (previously Shadow Atlas), built in September 2015 - which participated in the First and Second Verussian Wars. It was substantially rebuilt in 2017 according to the successful Cormoran-class of the previous year, and the design of the newer XNS Aries, and became the basis for all future 6th rate designs as well as those sold at /warp ships2. XNS Atlas and XNS Aries were then rebuilt and upgraded to 30-gun ships in 2018.

It can be bought as the 6th rate Interceptor at /warp ships2. The British Empire currently operates 5 of these ships, including one owned by emielreijs used for circumnavigation.
