HMS Amaterasu was a Apollo-class light cruiser of the Royal Manticoran Navy. In 1910 PD, the Amaterasu was in the Manticore System when word of Klaus Hauptman's journey to the Silesian Confederacy got out. Captain Helpern considered the vessel as an escort for the luxury liner Artemis, but First Space Lord Thomas Caparelli decided to use the smaller HMS Hawkwing instead. (HH6)
