The Angelus was designed and built by Dak Sanyo (Ookami Kirayasha), InuYasha Sanyo's younger brother, as InuYasha's flagship, at the Sanyo Industries Dockyard. Using tech given to him by the Atlantean Empire (their home government), Sanyo built a ship capable of acting as a commerce raider and smuggling ship, but with enough speed and firepower to engage larger vessels. Her main reactor is a "Crystallic Fusion Reactor" in which anti-matter is introduced to the process and focused through a crystal matrix. This gives the reactor more power. She also has four Atlantean cutter reactors, which provide her auxiliary power, as well as normal power to her secondary systems and redundant backup functions. She cannot use her energy weapons or heavy rail guns when her main reactor is offline, since the power is needed to maintain her essential systems. Due to this problem, Sanyo deliberately made the Angelus's light weapons projectile based. Although this took up more cargo room, and made the danger of ignition greater, it allows the ship a defensive edge over most larger capital ships. Sanyo also improved the Angelus's maneuverability by installing maneuvering thrusters on her port, starboard, dorsal, and ventral hull. As an added boost in maneuverability, he also made her main engines reversable, enabling the Angelus to turn, almost literally, on a dime. (Remember Hunt for the Red October? Ramius increased the turning ability by reversing his starboard engine)


All weapons on the Angelus are linked to a fire-control AI (dedicated to that particular system), for increased targeting efficiency and accuracy.
(i.e. all light weapons are linked to a point-defense AI, all heavy weapons are linked to a heavy weapons AI, all projectile weapons are linked to a projectile weapons AI, and all of which can be linked to the ship's command AI)


TheAngelus first appears in "Dreams of Success, Dreams of Failure"
