===Astero===
The Astero is a tough little frigate, with the ability to field a full flight of light drones. It is easy to fit for a sub-2sec align time which combined with the Cov Ops cloak makes it hard to catch. Cargo capacity is not as good as the T1 frigates, but is slightly better than the T2 versions. It has a fixed bonus of 37.5% to Core and Combat Scanner Probe strength (same as a T1 frigate with maxed out racial Frigate skill). Like the T1 ships it has 10 slots, laid out as 2 high. 4 mid and 4 low. It can have a Cov Ops cloak, but it can't fit an Interdiction Nullifier.

Pros: Low base skill requirements, fast align time, tough for its size, option of Cov Ops cloak<br />  
Cons: Extremely expensive, requires Omega clone status to access the Cov Ops cloak, no Nullifier, needs both Amarr and Gallente frigate skills
