Hangar - Callisto Light Escorts

A Jupiter-class carrier with deployed Callisto light escorts

Callisto Light Escorts are a type of Hangar Pet for Starfleet characters and their allies, including Federation-aligned Romulan Republic and Dominion characters.

They are unlocked with the purchase of either Jupiter Carrier, and are exclusive to these vessels:

• Jupiter Carrier
• Fleet Jupiter Carrier

Slotted hangar pets will add a launch ability: Launch Callisto Light Escort.

Hangar overview

The 25th century Callisto-class light escort is Starfleet's hangar pet of choice for their powerful Jupiter-class Carriers. They bare a remarkable resemblance to the Aquarius-class light escort. With their emphasis on forward firepower, these escorts may be considered as an equal match for the Klingon Defense Force's Birds-of-Prey.

Note: Despite using the term "Light Escorts", these pets are "Frigates", not "Light Escorts", a vessel type equivalent to a Raider.

Standard-issue (rare) Callisto Light Escorts do not come pre-loaded as part of any Starfleet vessels' standard equipment; they must be purchased once unlocked.

Notes

• Prior to the hangar pet rebalance released as part of Season Thirteen: Escalation on April 25, 2017, Callisto Light Escorts were one of many pets with the Scratch the Paint ability. With the rebalance, this ability was removed and made innate for all hangar pets. As such, Callisto Light Escorts received the following changes:
  • Normal Callistos now have Cannon: Scatter Volley 2 instead of 1.
  • Advanced and Elite Callistos now have Cannon: Scatter Volley 3 instead of 2.
