itemPair of small, fast, highly maneuverable stealth interceptors with torpedoes, keel-mounted railgun, and chaff/laser countermeasures. New hull design fools sensors; operate together to mimic a larger frigate on displays.
The Protogen Interceptors debut in *Leviathan Wakes* as a revolutionary pair of small, stealthy ships from the shadowy Protogen corporation, designed with cutting-edge hulls that spoof sensors to masquerade as a single frigate, armed with torpedoes, railguns, and advanced countermeasures. Their devastating ambush on the Rocinante near the Ring gate marks them as harbingers of the protomolecule's weaponized potential, showcasing Protogen's illicit technological edge. Though their role diminishes after their explosive introduction, they epitomize the series' escalation from corporate intrigue to interstellar horror.
